So you are one of those guys that consider hiring a WordPress developer. But when do you really need to hire one? Thi post will answer that question.
When you don’t have any knowledge about WordPress
Obviously, if you don’t have the knowledge and expertise in building a website you will need a web developer for this. This might be very senseless if you look at it but it is actually very common because people think they can do anything and learn anything in a short span of time. They usually forget mastery, and that is exactly what you want. If you want quality, you may just be better of with hiring an expert from the start.
When you have a virus or hack attack
This is the thing you should be wary about when maintaining a website. Hack and viruses could happen to your site and you may have down time or worse, lose your site altogether. This is why any signs of hacking or virus attacks, go ahead and hire a developer who specializes in security.
When you have changes needed that affecting sales or leads
Now if you have urgent needs that are affecting sales, don’t even begin to hesitate to hire a developer. Know your priorities and this should be tackled with a professional. You will lose more if you just let it go that way.
When you just want to focus on your business
You see the most common mistakes entrepreneurs and project starters make is that they think they can save more when they do all the work. Yeah you can learn about WordPress and, with so many resources and themes out there, how it can be easily developed, you still may not be correct. Sometimes, you really have to hire just the right person to do the task. If you are learning WordPress and not letting a WordPress developer do their work, then you have an opportunity cost. You could have grown your business, focus on aspects that truly matter, and could have save money or earn more doing this.
