Overview
Hire WordPress developers who treat it as a CMS, not a templating wall. WordPress runs almost half the web — that doesn't mean it's been built well almost half the time. Our team includes WordPress plugin developers writing real PHP, theme developers building custom themes from scratch instead of layering page builders, and headless WordPress engineers running WP behind Next.js or SvelteKit frontends. We optimize page speed past 90 in Lighthouse on themes that didn't start there. If you have a theme that's 80MB of jQuery accreted over five years, we can refactor it. If you're starting fresh, we can build a maintainable WordPress site that doesn't need a rewrite in three years.
Why Techyor.
Senior. Specialist. Shipping.
Custom themes, not page-builder soup
We build custom WordPress themes in real PHP — no Elementor lock-in, no WP Bakery cleanup needed in two years. Block-based editing where it makes sense, custom code where it doesn't.
Headless when it fits
WordPress as a CMS, Next.js or SvelteKit on the front. Faster pages, better DX, same publishing workflow editors love.
Performance-first
Object caching, edge CDN, image optimization, query reduction. Our WordPress sites consistently score 90+ on Lighthouse Mobile.

How you can hire.
Three ways to engage.
Dedicated Full-Time
A senior developer working exclusively on your product, embedded into your team, sprint cycle, and rituals. Best for roadmap-driven work with continuous shipping.
Part-Time / Fractional
Two to three days a week of senior expertise. Ideal for early-stage teams, technical advisory, code review, or supplementing an existing in-house team.
Fixed-Scope Project
Defined milestones, outcomes, and timeline. Best when the brief is clear and you want a predictable budget. Includes design, QA, and handover.
A two-week, no-risk trial.
Work with your wordpress developer for two weeks. If it is not the right fit, we replace them free or you walk away owing only for work delivered. After that it is month-to-month — no long contracts, and your code, accounts, and IP are always yours.

FAQ.
Common questions.
Should I hire dedicated WordPress developers or freelancers from Fiverr/Upwork?
Hire dedicated WordPress developers when the project is more than a brochure site bolted onto a template. A freelance theme tweaker will get the first version live; dedicated WordPress developers write PHP that survives WP-core upgrades, build custom Gutenberg blocks in React, harden the install against the security issues WordPress is known for, and ship sites that score 90+ on Lighthouse Mobile instead of 40. The split is most worth it for sites with custom plugins, headless front-ends, WooCommerce stores past simple catalogs, or any project where WordPress is the operational backbone — not just the theme layer.
WordPress plugin developer vs theme developer — what do I need?
Different specialists. A WordPress theme developer customizes the storefront — PHP templates, Sass, custom blocks, ACF flexible content, performance, brand UX. A WordPress plugin developer builds functionality that lives outside themes — custom post types, REST endpoints, admin UI, integrations with external systems, subscription logic, payment gateways. Most projects start with theme work; plugin developers come in when the site needs custom logic that doesn't belong in a theme (because it needs to survive theme changes). We have both.
Can I hire WordPress developers from India for a US or UK site?
Yes — most of our WordPress clients are in the US, UK, EU, and Australia. We overlap with East Coast US morning and UK afternoon hours, run async-first with daily standups, and ship in your timezone's calendar. Senior India-based WordPress developers cost 40–60% less than equivalent senior WordPress engineers in the US or UK without quality compromise. Munish K. on our team is Top Rated on Upwork with 87+ jobs and 100% Job Success on WordPress and WooCommerce builds for clients across all four regions.
Custom theme or page builder?
Custom theme almost always. Page builders (Elementor, Divi, WP Bakery) accumulate technical debt fast and lock your team into the builder. Custom themes cost more upfront, save more long-term.
Headless WordPress — when does it make sense?
When the frontend benefits from a modern framework (React/Svelte/Next.js): page speed, animations, complex UI. Stick with traditional WP when the site is content-first, the frontend is simple, and editors are non-technical.
Can you migrate from WordPress to a static site?
Yes — WordPress → Next.js, Astro, or 11ty migrations are a common service. We export content (often via WPGraphQL or REST), preserve URLs, set up redirects, and shut down WordPress when the new site is live.
Do you do WooCommerce?
Yes — including custom checkout, custom payment gateways, subscriptions, multi-vendor, B2B pricing. For ecommerce-heavy projects, also evaluate Shopify; sometimes WooCommerce is the wrong tool.
What about page speed?
We hit 85–95 mobile Lighthouse on WordPress sites we build. The recipe: object caching (Redis), edge CDN (Cloudflare), critical CSS, image optimization, and aggressive query reduction. We don't rely on a single 'cache plugin'.
Security and maintenance?
WordPress's reputation for security issues is mostly about plugin sprawl. We minimize plugins, choose maintained ones, hard-secure wp-admin, and offer ongoing maintenance plans (updates, security audits, daily backups).
How fast can a developer start?
For most roles, within 5–10 business days from the intro call. We pre-qualify our bench so onboarding is contracts and access — not a hiring search.
Do you sign NDAs and IP assignment agreements?
Yes — every engagement starts with a mutual NDA and a clean IP assignment clause. All work product is your property the moment it's written.
What time zones do your developers cover?
Our team primarily operates in IST with 4–6 hours of overlap with US Pacific, full overlap with EU, and full overlap with AU East. We commit to overlap windows in writing.
What if the developer is not the right fit?
There is no long lock-in. The first two weeks are a no-risk trial: if a developer is not the right fit, we replace them at no cost or you walk away owing only for work delivered. After that, engagements are month-to-month with 30 days notice — you are never trapped in a contract, and your code, accounts, and IP are always yours.
