When you hire WordPress Developers from India
While anyone can create a WordPress website, it would be nice to hand over the task to a professional developer team to make sure everything is covered. Once you have decided to get a team of WordPress developers from India, you can follow the tips to make sure it is a hassle-free experience and a successful choice:
1. An outline of your needs
Before hiring a team, have a clear idea about what you need from them. For that you need to have a list of project requirements, to share with them, and they might even have suggestions that would be useful. You can have a list the looks somewhat like this:
- The goal of the website
- The kind of the website needed – is it just a site to showcase your needs, or an online store
- Looking for custom theme or pre-built ones
- The features important to your website
You can add to this list depending on what your requirements are.
2. Knowing where to search
If you need a nice team, you should know where to look. You will find a good team from recommendations, in GitHub, Stack Overflow and such places. Of course, you will find them in other job listing platforms too and there are a few designed specifically for WordPress developers. You can pick and choose individual members and form a team that way. Or you can hire an agency that would just provide you with a readymade team with all the skills and talents needed for your project.
3. Choose a team with WordPress experience
While asking for a team, make sure to get people with specific WordPress experience as that would be more of an advantage when you have typical problems to counter. A team that knows WordPress deeply would definitely be much better. It is not necessary that a general developer would be aware of WordPress specific requirements or features.
4. Gauging the expertise of the developers
Even though the agency provides expert developers, you can interview them to determine their level of expertise and knowledge. Ask them about their creativity, their expertise levels in creating innovative custom themes, how well they can work with HTML, PHP and CSS.
Of course, you need to do your own research to ask them questions on the subject, so prepare a list of great questions and be aware of the credibility of their answers. It takes time to gauge the real value of the developer, so if you have time, go for it, because the minutes spent on understanding their skills is never wasted, especially if you get the right fit.
5. A team that provides all the services
It would be nice to go for a multidisciplinary team that provides consultation, coding, testing, launch and support whenever required. If you have such a team at your disposal, you don’t have to micromanage, but entrust them the entire work, and breath free.
6. Learning about their work process
Everything will go well once you have an idea about their work process, and how frequently they will communicate the progress with you. Is it on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, or once each milestone is covered.
Conclusion
WordPress is the ideal solution for your website requirements, but choosing the right team is so important. You need a unique solution that can take your business to the next level, and grow your audience. With WordPress, you never have to worry about the project going overboard in budget, because it is free. You only have to pay for the skills of the developer team when it comes to building websites.
