Monthly WordPress Developer on Retainer

A monthly WordPress developer for ongoing fixes, features, integrations and maintenance, without hiring a full-time employee.

A monthly WordPress developer gives you steady access to one developer for fixes, features and improvements, without the cost and overhead of a full-time hire. Each month, you bring the priorities, and then I work through them on your live site.

So it suits sites that keep changing: new landing pages, plugin work, integrations, speed fixes and routine care. For context, see the official list of WordPress developer resources.

Monthly WordPress developer for fixes, features and maintenance

What a monthly WordPress developer can do

  • Build and adjust pages, templates and custom blocks.
  • Fix bugs and plugin conflicts.
  • Connect WordPress to other tools through the API and integrations.
  • Improve speed and Core Web Vitals.
  • Look after WooCommerce stores.
  • Keep updates, backups and security current.

How a monthly WordPress developer works

  1. First, we agree the scope and how you will send requests.
  2. Next, you share priorities for the month.
  3. Then I work through them in order and test on staging where it makes sense.
  4. Finally, you get a short summary of what shipped and what is next.

Monthly developer or maintenance retainer?

If you mainly need updates, backups and monitoring, a WordPress maintenance retainer is the lighter option. However, if you also need steady build work, a monthly developer fits better. Also, see my WordPress developer page for the kind of work I do.

What it is not

In short, I do not promise instant turnaround on every request, and I do not take work outside the agreed scope without discussing it first.
