The Challenge

I can’t risk another WordPress misfire

Everyday looks like: chasing flaky freelancers, unclear scopes ballooning costs, and staging sites stuck for weeks. Stakeholders lose patience while ads, carts, and rankings slip. Another miss means missed revenue and another quarter defending delays.

Profiles look polished, but no evidence they’ve shipped work on stacks like mine.
Quotes swing wildly because constraints, integrations, and content realities never get scoped early.
Milestones slip, and I only spot problems when they already impact production traffic.
Handover feels rushed, so my team inherits unfamiliar code and zero documentation.
The Solution

Precision scoping and vetted masters, from brief to launch

Most “bad builds” start with fuzzy scopes, not bad developers. We begin with a 20–40 minute triage to clarify constraints, integrations, and success metrics, then shortlist specialists within 48 hours. A DRI manages milestones, QA, and code standards through handover. A publisher came in with a 3.2s LCP; after a performance sprint, LCP dropped 420 ms and ad viewability improved.

Structured briefs cut rework, typically reducing revision cycles by 31–46%.
Shortlists arrive within 24–48 hours, saving managers 6–10 hours of vetting time.
Milestone payments and QA gates catch regressions early, lowering dispute rates below 2%.
Documented handover leaves your team confident, reducing post-launch support tickets by around 18%.
Targets link to KPIs like LCP and conversion, so impact is visible in dashboards.
Our Story

Built by delivery veterans

In 2017, our founder led a redesign that missed Black Friday because three freelancers ghosted mid-sprint. The postmortem revealed a simple truth: the work wasn’t doomed by code, it was doomed by an unclear brief and zero accountability. We started WordPress Masters to fix that—from intake to handover. We designed a vetting protocol focused on shipped outcomes, audited repos, and stakeholder references. Early on, we over-optimized résumés and under-valued fit; we corrected by pairing domain expertise with project archetypes. Since then, we’ve supported over 180 scoped engagements with sub‑2% dispute rates and steady repeat hires. Today, we serve teams who can’t afford misfires and expect measurable gains, not just hours logged.

What We Offer

Everything You Need

Curated experts matched to your stack

We verify shipped work against similar architectures and audit repos for maintainability, testing discipline, and deployment hygiene. Matches consider headless builds, WooCommerce quirks, multilingual strategies, and performance budgets to avoid surprises mid-sprint.

Scope first, code second for fewer surprises

Your PM and an expert triage call surface data models, integrations, and legacy caveats that derail builds. Clear deliverables, acceptance criteria, and non‑goals keep estimates honest and timelines realistic.

Fast shortlists, within forty‑eight hours

We maintain an active bench of vetted developers, designers, and integrators across core WordPress disciplines. You’ll see availability, relevant work, and notes on risk areas so you can choose confidently.

Managed milestones with QA and code standards

We checkpoint work against acceptance criteria and run automated checks to detect regressions early. The result is fewer late‑stage surprises and maintainable code your team can extend.

Performance baked into the plan

Budgets are set per template and device class, then measured throughout development. Many teams see measurable gains within thirty days after launch, improving revenue and SEO stability.

Commerce and content specialists on call

From checkout refactors to editorial workflows, specialists apply patterns that work for your exact use case. Less experimentation, more predictable results that match business logic.

Clean handovers with docs and training

We package architecture notes, environment setup, and runbooks alongside the code. A walkthrough call ensures your team can maintain, extend, and troubleshoot without guesswork.

Tooling guidance and partner savings

We suggest proven stacks and share available partner discounts from programs you already know. Fewer unknowns, clearer costs, and a stack your team can support comfortably.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

How do you vet WordPress experts? +

We review shipped work against similar architectures, audit repos for standards, and check stakeholder references. Each expert completes a practical assessment and a delivery interview focused on real project constraints. We track ongoing performance through post‑engagement reviews. Only specialists who maintain consistent quality and communication stay on the bench.

What types of projects are a fit? +

We focus on scoped projects where outcomes matter: theme builds, plugin work, WooCommerce, performance sprints, and editorial workflows. Ongoing retainers for maintenance are supported through our Priority Program. Micro‑tasks under $300 or speculative design rounds are usually not a fit.

How do fees and pricing work? +

Self‑Serve includes a 7% service fee, while Managed Projects carry a 12% fee for PM, QA, and handover. The Priority Program is $1,250/month with a reduced 9% fee on projects. Experts set their own rates; we present transparent estimates and milestone payments.

Why not use free directories or post on forums? +

Open directories can help discover talent, but you invest significant time in scoping and vetting. Our clients typically save 6–10 hours on screening and avoid common rework that inflates budgets. If you have deep in‑house PM and QA, free options may suffice.

How fast can we start? +

After your triage call, most shortlists arrive within 24–48 hours. Kickoff usually happens within 3–5 business days depending on availability. Complex or niche requirements may extend this by a few days to ensure the right fit.

What if a milestone goes off track? +

Your delivery lead steps in to assess scope, reset expectations, and coordinate corrections. Payments are milestone‑based, and QA gates must pass before release. Our internal benchmark dispute rate is 1.7%, and most issues resolve within a single sprint.

Is my code and data secure? +

We require NDAs on request and follow principle‑of‑least‑privilege access. Repos live in your accounts, and contributors are added with scoped permissions. Sensitive credentials are exchanged through encrypted channels, not chat. We can work with your security checklist.

Can you recommend hosting and plugins? +

Yes. We suggest stacks aligned with your needs and budget. We participate in programs like Codeable Partner Program, Fiverr Affiliates, and WP Engine (ShareASale), which may provide discounts. Recommendations are based on fit, not referral size.

Is this right for me? +

If you need predictable delivery, clear accountability, and measurable outcomes, yes. It might NOT be for you if you’re price‑shopping the lowest hourly rate, need a $100 micro‑fix today, or prefer to manage without scopes and QA gates.

What ROI should we expect? +

While results vary, many teams report 31–46% fewer revisions and faster launches. Performance sprints often yield meaningful LCP reductions that correlate with conversion or ad revenue gains. We define KPIs up front so impact is tracked, not guessed.
