Are you looking to streamline your development?

There are many factors to consider when streamlining your development. I can recommend the best way this can be done, like using Git (GitLab/GitHub) to track changes and setups to automatically test and push updated changes to your WordPress site, and the best ways to clone and sync WordPress databases.

Streamlining WordPress development is beneficial for WordPress developers, businesses and individuals alike. It allows WordPress sites to be maintained in a more efficient and cost-effective way. Streamlining WordPress development can help save time as changes made to the WordPress site will no longer need to be manually tested and uploaded. By utilising other tools, WordPress developers can easily track changes made to the website, quickly detect any bugs or errors that could occur, and ensure that all new features are appropriately integrated with existing code. Additionally, streamlining WordPress development helps keep websites secure as it ensures that only tested and updated code is pushed to the live version of the website. This helps reduce the chances of potential vulnerabilities being exploited or malicious attacks occurring on the WordPress site. Streamlined development also improves overall performance by optimizing code for faster loading times, better caching mechanisms, increased reliability, etc...

Hiring a WordPress developer?

Need help vetting a WordPress developer you're hiring?

Who better to help than a freelance WordPress developer themselves.

When hiring a WordPress developer, there are important factors to consider. Take the time to review their experience and portfolio before making any decisions. Look for WordPress developers that have a good understanding of WordPress core, plugins, and themes. Consider whether they have sufficient knowledge of PHP, HTML, and CSS coding standards as well as best practices for WordPress performance optimisation. Additionally, it's beneficial to hire WordPress developers who are familiar with WordPress security protocols and can make sure your WordPress site is secure from malicious attacks.

Another important factor is their ability to stay up-to-date with WordPress trends and the latest technologies. A WordPress developer should be not only capable of developing custom WordPress sites but also be proactive in learning new web development approaches such as mobile friendly web design, Responsive Web Design (RWD), material design principles, or other approaches that could benefit your website's user experience.

Finally, make sure you understand their communication skills and availability in order to have a successful working relationship. An effective WordPress developer will not only provide timely updates but also openly listens to feedback so they can provide solutions that are tailored to your business needs.
