Looking to Hire a WordPress Developer in South Africa?

If you need a WordPress developer to build a website, fix an existing site, add functionality or deal with a technical problem, WBL-DEV provides direct WordPress development and website support for businesses in South Africa.


Whether you need a once-off job or ongoing help, you can work directly with the developer handling your website.


What Can a WordPress Developer Help With?


WordPress websites can require more than installing a theme and plugins.


A developer can help when you need changes or fixes that go beyond what you can comfortably handle yourself.


I can help with:


  1. New WordPress websites
  2. Changes to existing WordPress websites
  3. Elementor websites
  4. WordPress errors and broken functionality
  5. Plugin conflicts
  6. Custom PHP development
  7. Custom WordPress functionality
  8. WooCommerce changes and fixes
  9. Website speed improvements
  10. WordPress migrations
  11. Website maintenance
  12. Website troubleshooting
  13. API integrations
  14. One-off website support


If your website already exists, you don't necessarily need to start again.


In many cases, an existing WordPress website can be repaired, improved or extended.


Need a WordPress Developer for a Once-Off Job?


Not every business needs a monthly development contract.


Sometimes you simply need someone to fix a problem, make several changes, move your website to another hosting provider or add a specific feature.


WBL-DEV offers ad-hoc website support for these types of jobs, so you can request help with a specific task without committing to a long-term development arrangement.


Looking for Ongoing WordPress Support?


If your website needs regular attention, ongoing WordPress maintenance can help keep the site updated and checked.


This can include WordPress, plugin and theme updates, backups, basic checks and dealing with problems that arise during maintenance.


Ongoing support can be useful for businesses that rely on their website but don't have an in-house developer.


Why Work Directly With WBL-DEV?


WBL-DEV is a small, independent web development service based in Cape Town and working with businesses in South Africa and internationally.


You deal directly with the person working on your website rather than being passed between different departments or account managers.


I can work with your existing WordPress website and focus on the actual task you need completed.


Need a WordPress Developer?


If you already know what you need, you can get in touch with the details of the project or problem.


If you're not sure what is causing the problem, that's fine too.


Explain what is happening and I can assess what is required.
