Choosing the right WordPress developer decides whether your website brings customers or becomes a costly problem. Use this checklist when you hire a WordPress developer in Pakistan, whether you pick a freelancer, an agency or a marketplace expert.
1. Review real portfolio work
Ask for live websites, not screenshots. Open them on your phone and check speed, design and mobile layout. You can see examples in my WordPress portfolio.
2. Check their speed results
Test their sites with PageSpeed Insights. A good developer builds light websites that load fast. Learn what matters in how to speed up a WordPress website.
3. Ask about SEO basics
Your developer should handle titles, descriptions, headings, image alt text, sitemaps and clean URLs. Compare their answers with the WordPress SEO checklist.
4. Confirm security practices
Ask about backups, updates, firewalls and login protection. See the security steps every site needs.
5. Look at their page builder skills
Most business sites use Elementor. Ask whether they build custom designs or only reuse templates.
6. Get a clear written scope and price
A professional lists pages, features, revisions and timeline in writing. For budget ideas, read what affects WordPress website cost in Pakistan.
7. Check communication
Fast, clear replies before the project usually mean fast, clear replies during it.
8. Ask about ownership
You should own your domain, hosting login and website files. Never accept a setup where the developer controls everything.
9. Ask about support after launch
Bugs and updates happen. Confirm what support is included and how long it lasts.
10. Read reviews and references
Look for real client feedback on marketplaces, Google or LinkedIn, and ask for a past client you can contact.
