Are you a WordPress developer who’s built plugins and is eager to expand your skills, build a portfolio that attracts while getting paid?

Some of the biggest leaps in my career happened after taking on the right freelance jobs that expanded my portfolio enough to get the attention of companies like Sandhills Development, as well as GoDaddy. In-fact, this is the exact gig that got the attention of both of these companies when I was just starting out.

I’m Alex Standiford, a seasoned WordPress expert specializing in enterprise development, product launches, and scaling digital products. I want to give others the opportunity to build their portfolio and launch their careers. I’m a big believer in “get paid to learn,” and I want to do exactly that with you.

I’ve been in the space for a while, and have personally built hundreds of plugins, ranging from simple modifications to full blown API integrations. I have educated people with WordPress development courses in the past, and want to work with people who love writing code, and are eager to learn and grow with me.

This part-time, remote opportunity is perfect for someone with knowledge of PHP or React, experience with unit testing and test-driven development, and a desire to adopt enterprise-level development practices. If you’re eager to learn, grow your skill set, and work on impactful projects with personalized mentorship, I’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop and enhance WordPress plugins tailored for enterprise solutions.
• Collaborate with me on launching new products and scaling existing ones.
• Engage in hands-on projects that will elevate your development skills.
• Receive personalized guidance and code reviews to deepen your understanding of WordPress, WooCommerce, and the entire ecosystem in-general.

Ideal Applicants Have:

• You have built a WordPress plugin before and have examples in your portfolio to showcase your work.

• You have experience writing unit tests and have practiced test-driven development, or at least have taken a course on writing unit tests and mocking.
• Familiar with WooCommerce and eager to explore its advanced features.
• Passionate about learning and keen to grow your skill set.
• Looking for mentorship and the opportunity to work on impactful projects.
• Interested in adopting enterprise-level development practices.
• Able to commit to part-time, project-based work on a contract basis.

• Skill Development: Tackle modern WordPress projects that enhance your portfolio.
