When you hire WordPress developers through Wix Engine, you get a WordPress expert for hire who handles anything from a plugin conflict to a full WooCommerce build, working on staging with a team behind them. A freelancer may cost less per hour but can be hard to reach when your site goes down. An in-house hire rarely makes sense without full-time WordPress work.
For SEO beyond technical fixes, our SEO services team can take over. Planning a full rebuild instead of ongoing changes? See website redesign.
$45/hour, minimum 40-hour block — fixes, updates, small changes and one-off troubleshooting. A good fit for sites that need attention a few times a month.
$2,500/month full-time (40 hours/week) or $1,250/month part-time (20 hours/week) — for agencies with a steady build pipeline or businesses with a constant stream of site work. Working hours: we cover US and UK business hours from our main office in Texas, USA, and our second office in Lahore, Pakistan.
For a new theme, WooCommerce store or migration, see our WordPress development services, from $400. Still deciding whether WooCommerce is the right store platform? Our e-commerce development page compares the options.
We build and maintain WordPress sites under your brand, using your NDA, your client relationship and your project management tool. We can follow your coding standards, starter theme and preferred plugin stack. Agencies with Wix clients as well can hire a Wix developer on the same terms.

| Best for | Ongoing work, agency overflow, mixed skill needs | Small, one-off tasks | Full-time WordPress roadmaps |
A good freelancer is a sensible choice for a small, one-off fix. An in-house developer makes sense if WordPress work fills a full-time role all year. We're the better fit when you need a range of skills, dependable cover, or white-label capacity that grows and shrinks with your pipeline.
What's on your list, how your site is set up and hosted, and how urgent it is.
With temporary access, we check the theme, plugins, PHP version and hosting before quoting, so there are no surprises later.
A profile and a short intro call with your developer.
Often real fixes from your list, so you see how we work. If it isn't working, you stop there with no further commitment.
A weekly report of completed tasks, hours used and anything that needs your decision.

We also build on Wix, Next.js, Webflow and Shopify. If your WordPress site later needs a headless Next.js front end or a move to another platform, the same team can handle it.

Hourly WordPress work is billed at $45/hour, with a minimum 40-hour block. A dedicated developer costs $2,500/month full-time or $1,250/month part-time. Fixed-price WordPress projects start from $400. You'll get the full cost in writing before work begins, and there are no recruiting fees.
Yes. Hourly work is billed at $45/hour in blocks of at least 40 hours, and we log time against every task. Many sites only need updates, small edits and the occasional fix, and a block of hours covers that without a long-term commitment. If the work grows, you can move to a part-time dedicated developer at any point.
Yes, including Elementor, Divi and custom-theme sites with heavy plugin use. We first review the theme, plugins and hosting so we know what we're working with, then flag risks, like abandoned plugins or edits made directly to a parent theme, before changing anything.
Yes. We work under your brand, follow your coding standards and starter theme, use your project management tool, and sign your NDA. We never contact your clients unless you ask us to. Agencies use us for overflow builds, ongoing maintenance contracts, or both.
We ask for a personal account with only the permissions the work needs, never your main admin login. Credentials are shared through a password manager, changes go through staging first, and access is removed when the work ends. We sign NDAs on request, and the work is yours once paid in full.
Our main office is in Texas, USA, and our development team also works from Lahore, Pakistan, so we cover US and UK business hours. We agree on overlap hours before work starts. If your developer becomes unavailable or isn't the right fit, we assign another within 5 business days at no extra cost. Every task is documented, so the new developer continues without starting over.
Book a free 30-minute call and tell us what your site needs. You'll get a matched developer and clear pricing, with an NDA if you need one.
