CMS
What do Xcrino's WordPress developers do?
Our WordPress developers handle custom themes, plugins, WooCommerce, performance and security rather than plugin assembly. They join your standups, work your board and go through your code review.
You keep control of the work without the hiring timeline or permanent headcount — we carry recruitment, replacement and admin.
Capabilities
What you can hire WordPress developers for
Common work our developers take on from day one.
- CMS
Custom themes
Lightweight themes built to your design, not page-builder bloat.
- CMS
Plugin development
Custom functionality and third-party integrations.
- CMS
WooCommerce
Stores, payments, shipping and custom checkout flows.
- CMS
Speed & security
Performance tuning, hardening and updates.
Fit
When should you hire a dedicated WordPress developer?
Hire a dedicated WordPress developer when your website is a business tool, not a brochure: it sells through WooCommerce, captures leads or publishes often. Those sites need ongoing development, speed work and security updates, not occasional fixes.
It also fits sites that have become slow or fragile from stacked plugins and page builders. A developer who builds custom themes and plugins can replace that weight with lean code you control.
Skills
What skills do Xcrino's WordPress developers bring?
Beyond the basics, these are the areas our WordPress developers handle in client projects.
- Custom themes: Block themes and Gutenberg blocks built for your content, not generic templates.
- Plugin development: Custom plugins in place of several overlapping third-party ones.
- WooCommerce: Store set-up, payment gateways, custom checkout and integrations.
- Speed: Core Web Vitals work: caching, images, scripts and hosting set-up.
- Security: Updates, hardening, backups and malware clean-up.
- Migrations: Moving sites between hosts or from other CMSs without losing SEO.
