Experienced WordPress developer from Munich

Wanted: WordPress Webdesigner

Web design is the complete process from the idea of a website to its visual and technical implementation. The initial state differs greatly from job to job.

Some customers already have a very clear idea of what they want – sometimes even a fully developed design in Photoshop – while others are still at the very beginning and the idea of the website is still in its infancy. The structure and content are still being worked out together.

As a web design freelancer, it is therefore necessary to think outside the box, because: Website web design combines creativity, logic and experience in the form of design, programming and SEO.

Tasks of a web designer

The tasks of the web design freelancer (also applies to every WordPress agency) generally include:

• Structuring and supporting the development of content
• Creative website design with responsive support for all end devices (mobile, tablet, desktop)
• Exact programming and implementation of the design according to the WordPress Codex (Attention: Many WordPress freelancers and implement websites in such a way that they cannot be edited by the customer afterwards. However, I pay particular attention to this in my implementations).
• Integration of potentially more complex, additional features through plugins and code extensions (newsletter, cookie plugins, etc.)
• Adaptation of all technically relevant SEO aspects (e.g. fast page, correct meta tags, “secure page” through SSL, etc.)

WordPress web design for every budget

WordPress is the perfect framework for web designers to work with. Depending on the budget and customer requirements, any type of website can be realized.

For small budgets , WordPress offers numerous ready-made templates, which are then customized by me and are quickly ready for use. With the right eye and the right experience, you can find the right theme for your brand. Disadvantage: Fine adjustments are not possible. This procedure is only recommended for small projects.

For medium to large budgets: Customized WordPress theme according to your needs. When programming, I make sure that all your wishes are integrated and that your website can still be maintained and expanded for future adaptations.

Wanted: Online store solution / WooCommerce programmer

WordPress offers a solid solution for e-commerce with WooCommerce. I won’t go into the advantages and disadvantages of WooCommerce here. The fact is: although the solution is solid, the website is a long term solution and without a competent freelancer at hand, it is at a loss. It starts with the setup of the online store, the fine-tuning of all store pages (product detail page, product archive, shopping cart, checkout, etc.), continues with things like email and invoice dispatch via GDPR-compliant adjustments and ends with extensions used specifically for the store, which are not available to buy and are therefore programmed by me by hand. But once again in order and from the beginning:

Tasks of a WooCommerce programmer

In any case, the WooCommerce developer’s tasks and area of expertise include

• Design customization of all WooCommerce specific elements
• Advice on plugin selection for the online store, e.g. for payment methods, linking with merchandise management or accounting, features for product variations, Ajaxx searches, etc. (the possibilities are endless!)
• Extension and programming of new WooCommerce functionalities according to (very important!) the official WooCommerce documentation.
• Setting up really reliable security and backup measures, as well as WordPress hardening (very rarely done, although you risk very high penalties if you are hacked)
• Advice on GDPR-compliant adaptation (please note: no legal or legally binding advice!)
• …et cetera. The list is even longer and would get out of hand here. Contact me with your request. I will be happy to help you!

Do you need support with your online store?

Wanted: WordPress freelancer for marketing/design agency

Many agencies offer their customers a 360 degree online solution. In both large and small companies, special or rarely used skills are outsourced. For marketing and design agencies, this is often the creation of a website.

If the agency’s core competence lies outside of website creation, it is all the more important for the WordPress freelancer to work efficiently and competently. It is not uncommon for many events to be linked to website creation. This makes it all the more important to meet deadlines and program with foresight.

Tasks as a freelancer supporting an agency

• Competent support and advice for the agency
• Fast, thoughtful and timely work
• Leave no questions unanswered
• Working from the background

Are you an agency? I will be happy to support you with your request.

Wanted: WordPress developer for plugin creation

WordPress is based on the concept of modular plugins. A 3rd party plugin is used for every new functionality on a website.

However, it is not uncommon to find a plugin for your desired feature – but it has either not been developed for years or it is part of an oversized plugin with far too much functionality that goes beyond the scope (keyword: website loading time and security)

Tasks of a plugin programmer in WordPress

• Extensive research for existing, suitable plugins for the desired feature
• If there is none: exact specification of the desired feature
• Implementation of the plugin using PHP/JS and according to the WordPress Codex
• Testing and checking for security vulnerabilities
• Debriefing with customers about possible maintenance of the plugin for WordPress updates

Wanted: Website Optimization & SEO

Especially when using WordPress, I often see it: Over 20 installed plugins, no optimized images and open security gaps to the WordPress backend. This not only has an impact on website performance, but also on SEO.

Customers who have slow websites often think that this is due to WordPress. That is not true. You can create very fast websites with WordPress. You just have to know how.

There are many things that your WordPress developer may have forgotten to optimize when creating your website. This can be anything: no backups, no meta tags, no optimized images, no caching, etc.

Tasks for website optimization

• Remove unnecessary plugins
• Optimize website speed
• Check and optimize SEO tags
• Find and close security gaps
• Create backups
• etc. – the list is very long and different for every customer
