Subject: Expert WordPress Developer for Project Rescue (PHP/API Skills Required)

Application Form: https://forms.gle/FiWnRnNsCbQQna9B7

Feel free to reach out and let me know that you have filled out the form. Technology being what it is these days!

I am the owner of Canadian Contractor Services, a renovation company, and I’m in immediate need of an experienced, independent WordPress professional to take over and complete a stalled website project.

This is a paid, 3-week fast-track project to rescue, finish, and launch our company website. The previous developer failed to deliver, and we now have all assets ready for a true professional to get the job done right. This is a hands-on coding role; no agencies or project managers who outsource the work.

Core Requirements:

• Expert proficiency in custom PHP for WordPress (hooks, actions, filters).
• Proven ability to integrate with third-party APIs (specifically Zoho CRM) without relying on basic plugins.
• Excellent, clear communication for daily updates.

Our website development system is structured for simplicity, consistency, and professional-grade collaboration. Every page under development has its own dedicated Google Drive folder containing all assets—images, copy, layout notes, and revision logs—so nothing gets buried or misnamed. Each page folder links directly to its Ruttl feedback board, where developers, designers, and managers can comment visually on live builds. This eliminates messy email threads and speeds up approvals. Once a change is confirmed in Ruttl, the approved version and final media files are stored back into that same Drive folder, creating a clean, traceable record of every update.

In short, we’ve built a developer-friendly ecosystem: Drive keeps files organized, Ruttl centralizes feedback, and our automation scripts link it all together. It’s the kind of setup where a developer can open one page folder and immediately see every asset, comment, and status in one place—no hunting, no confusion, just efficient, structured progress.

The budget for this fixed-price project is in the $1,500 – $3,000 USD range.

If you are a professional who meets these requirements, I invite you to apply.

How to Apply:

The official first step is to complete our detailed screening form. It includes technical questions and is designed to find the best possible fit.

Application Form: https://forms.gle/FiWnRnNsCbQQna9B7

WordPress Developer Vetting Checklist

Here is a checklist to guide our technical interview and project setup. Please be prepared to discuss these points and demonstrate your approach.

Phase 1: Team & Communication (The Basics)

Identity & Transparency:

• Who is the project manager or main point of contact?
• Who is the specific developer who will be writing the code? I must be able to meet them on a video call.
• What are the names and locations of all team members who will touch this project?
• Are you a solo freelancer, an agency, or a sub-contractor?

Communication & Availability:

• What are your standard working hours in my timezone?
• What is your guaranteed response time for:
• General inquiries (e.g., Slack/email)?
• Urgent/emergency requests (e.g., “site is down”)?
• What tools do you use for project management (e.g., Trello, Asana, Monday)?

Use of AI in Development:

• Do you use AI (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to write or debug code?
• If yes, what is your review process for ensuring AI-generated code is secure, efficient, and meets all our quality standards?
  (Why this matters: AI can be a great tool, but it can also produce inefficient or insecure “mystery code.” A professional knows how to review and own the code, not just copy/paste from an AI.)

Phase 2: Technical Skill & Philosophy (The “Shop Test”)

Live Code Sample:

• Be prepared to provide a code sample for a small, custom WordPress plugin you have written.

This plugin should demonstrate:

• Proper PHP Namespacing: (Prevents conflicts with other plugins.)
• No Global Variables: (A professional standard for “clean” code.)
• PSR-12 Coding Standard: (The “grammar and spelling” rules for code. It proves they are a craftsperson, not a slob.)
• Data Validation & Sanitization: (Vital for security.)
• Use of a Nonce: (A security check to prevent unauthorized actions.)
• Integration with CPT + ACF: (Shows they can work with two of the most common custom WordPress tools.)

Your Development “Toolbox”:

• Page Builders: What is your philosophy on page builders (Elementor, Bricks, Divi, etc.)? If you use one, how do you prevent “builder bloat” and ensure it doesn’t slow down the site?
• Themes: Do you typically build custom themes from scratch (e.g., using a starter theme like Underscores or a modern workflow), or do you customize premium themes?
• Plugin Vetting: What is your process for choosing a third-party plugin? How do you vet it for code quality, security, and performance impact?
  (Why this matters: A “copy/paste” person just installs 50 plugins for 50 problems. A pro is selective, audits plugins, and knows when to build a simple feature instead of installing a bloated plugin.)

Phase 3: Process & Workflow (The “Blueprint”)

Source Control:

• Do you use Git for all code changes? (The answer must be yes.)
• Will you grant me access to the GitHub or Bitbucket repository?

Deployment & Environments:

• You must provide a Staging (or Development) URL. No work will ever be done directly on the live (“Production”) site.
• Please describe your workflow for deploying a new feature.
  (The correct answer should sound like this: “I build the feature on a new ‘branch’ on my local computer. I push it to the repo, which triggers a deploy to the Staging site. You review and approve it on Staging. Then, I merge that branch into ‘production’ to push it live.”)

Code Review & Quality Assurance (QA):

• Do you use Pull Requests (PRs) for code review before merging?
• Who performs this code review? (This is where having someone like Luciano is valuable, as he could be the reviewer.)
• What is your process for cross-browser and multi-device testing?

Phase 4: Performance & Security (The “Inspection”)

Performance:

• The final site must pass Google’s Core Web Vitals.
• The final site must achieve Lighthouse scores of 90+ for Performance, Accessibility, and Best Practices.
• How do you specifically optimize a site for speed?
  (What to listen for: Caching, image optimization (e.g., WebP), minification of CSS/JS, lazy loading, and reducing database queries.)

Security:

• Beyond the code sample, what are the top 3 security measures you take on every WordPress site you build?
  (What to listen for: Hardening the wp-config.php file, custom login URLs, limiting login attempts, strong user role management, and server-side firewalls.)
• What is your process for handling WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates?

Phase 5: Business & Legal (The “Contract”)

• Intellectual Property & Ownership:
• The contract must state that all custom code, graphics, and content created for this project are “work-for-hire” and are 100% owned by me upon final payment.
• You must confirm that no third-party code, images, or assets will be used without a valid, transferable license.
• You must provide a list of all premium themes/plugins used and their associated license keys.

Documentation & Handover:

• Will you provide documentation for any custom-built features or unique back-end processes?
  (Why this matters: This is the “anti-mystery-code” guarantee. It ensures the next developer doesn’t have to spend 20 hours just figuring out how something works.)

Support & Maintenance:

• What are your terms for fixing bugs found after the project is launched? (e.g., a 30-day warranty period).
• Do you offer an ongoing maintenance plan, and what does it include?

Please note: The form includes a mandatory request for a link to a brief screen recording of you walking through a piece of WordPress PHP code you have personally written. Applications without this will be immediately discarded.
Thank you for your consideration.
