Wordpress Developer Outsourcing

Why Businesses Choose to Outsource WordPress Development

Building a website might sound simple — but building one that’s fast, SEO-friendly, mobile-optimized, and easy to maintain is anything but. Many businesses underestimate how much technical work goes into even a “simple” WordPress site. And once the site is live, keeping it secure, updated, and performing well requires ongoing attention.

That’s why so many companies now choose to outsource WordPress development. It allows them to access experienced developers who understand both the technical and strategic side of WordPress, without having to go through lengthy recruitment or take on expensive full-time salaries.

Instead of hiring freelance developers who may be juggling multiple clients, or trying to find someone in a tight local market, outsourcing gives you a stable, long-term solution. You get:

• A developer who works exclusively on your projects
• Someone who understands your themes, plugins, and workflows
• Faster turnaround on updates, bug fixes, and new features
• Reduced reliance on expensive local agencies

Whether you’re a digital agency looking to scale delivery, an e-commerce brand in need of ongoing site improvements, or a corporate team maintaining multiple WordPress properties — outsourcing provides flexibility, affordability, and control.

What a WordPress Developer Can Do for Your Business

A skilled WordPress developer is more than just someone who installs themes and plugins — they are a technical partner who ensures your website is fast, scalable, secure, and aligned with your business goals. By outsourcing this role, you get consistent support and the ability to evolve your site over time, instead of relying on quick fixes or temporary contractors.

Here’s what a full-time WordPress developer can handle for you:

• Custom Theme Development & Optimization
  • Build bespoke themes or optimize existing ones for performance, branding, and responsiveness.
• WooCommerce Configuration & Customization
  • Set up product catalogs, checkout flows, and custom functionality to drive more sales.
• Speed Optimization & Core Web Vitals
  • Improve loading times, eliminate bottlenecks, and pass Google’s performance benchmarks.
• Plugin Development & Integration
  • Extend functionality through custom plugins or integrate third-party APIs securely.
• Security Hardening & Maintenance
  • Apply best practices to keep your site safe from hacks, and maintain regular backups and updates.
• Multisite Setup, Localization, & SEO Enhancements
  • Structure large installations properly, support multiple languages, and boost organic visibility.

By outsourcing to a developer who handles all of the above — you maintain complete control over your site, while gaining technical execution that matches your business vision.

Understanding the Models: Outsourcing, Offshore & Outstaffing

When businesses talk about outsourcing development, the terms “outsourcing,” “offshore,” and “outstaffing” are often used interchangeably — but each represents a different model with distinct benefits. Understanding these models is crucial for choosing the right approach for your WordPress development needs.

- Outsourcing refers to handing over a project or a function to an external team. You describe the work, and the external agency or freelancer delivers the finished product. This is common for one-off WordPress builds or maintenance agreements, but often lacks flexibility and long-term commitment.

- Offshore simply means that the talent is located in another country, typically one with lower labor costs. For WordPress development, this might mean hiring a developer from Thailand, the Philippines, or Eastern Europe. Offshore can apply to both outsourcing and outstaffing setups — it’s about geography.

- Outstaffing, on the other hand, is when you hire a dedicated developer who works full-time for you, but is officially employed and managed by a local agency (like Move Marketing). This gives you all the control of an in-house hire (task management, communication, scheduling), while we handle payroll, legal, and HR.

At Move Marketing, we focus on the offshore outstaffing model, giving you access to vetted WordPress developers from Thailand who work 100% for you. You stay in charge of their tasks and priorities — and we take care of everything else.

This model is ideal for businesses that want a long-term WordPress expert embedded in their team, without the cost or risk of direct employment.

Example: Cost Comparison – In-House vs Offshore WordPress Developer

Hiring a WordPress developer locally can be expensive — not just because of the salary, but due to hidden costs such as benefits, paid time off, equipment, office space, and recruitment. With offshore outstaffing, you get a full-time developer working exclusively for your business at a predictable monthly rate — without the administrative burden.

Here’s an example comparing the monthly costs of hiring in-house versus hiring via Move Marketing:

Cost Breakdown	In-House (USA)	Offshore via Move Marketing (Thailand)
Base Salary	$5,500	–
Paid Leave & Sick Days	$700	–
Benefits & Social Security	$800	–
Equipment & Software	$300	–
Office Space	$400	–
HR & Recruitment	$500	–
Invoice from Move Marketing	–	$2,950 (all-inclusive)
Total Monthly Cost	$8,200+	$2,950

With Move Marketing, you get a dedicated full-time WordPress developer for less than 40% of the cost of hiring in-house. You avoid payroll, legal, and HR responsibilities. You manage the tasks — we handle everything else.

How Move Marketing Helps You Hire a WordPress Developer

At Move Marketing, we go far beyond traditional outsourcing agencies. We don’t just connect you to freelancers — we help you build your own dedicated WordPress development resource, fully integrated with your team but without the complexity of hiring directly.

Here’s how we make it simple and effective:

1. Talent Sourcing & Pre-Screening

We maintain a strong local network in Thailand and proactively search for WordPress developers with proven experience in real client projects — especially in performance optimization, WooCommerce, theme development, and plugin customization. Every candidate is pre-screened by our senior team for technical skills, communication, and reliability.

2. You Select the Developer

Once we’ve identified qualified candidates, you get to choose who fits your culture and project goals. You’ll have the chance to interview and assess them before any commitment.

3. Onboarding & Setup

We handle all legal, contractual, and logistical details — including HR, payroll, and any local compliance. Your developer is officially employed by us, but works full-time for you.

4. Ongoing Support & Oversight

We remain in close contact, helping ensure that your developer is productive, happy, and aligned with your expectations. If there’s ever a challenge, we help resolve it fast — and can provide replacements or backups if needed.

With Move Marketing, you get a reliable offshore partner, not just a hiring platform. You keep full control of your developer’s tasks, while we provide the infrastructure and accountability to make the partnership work long-term.

Key Benefits of Hiring via Move Marketing

Choosing Move Marketing as your partner for WordPress developer outsourcing means gaining access to a streamlined setup designed to save you time, money, and complexity — without sacrificing control or quality.

One of the most important advantages is that your developer works 100% dedicated for your business. Unlike freelancers who split their attention across multiple projects, our developers become fully embedded in your team and workflows, making collaboration faster and more consistent.

You also avoid the typical overhead that comes with hiring. We handle HR, legal contracts, payroll, workspace, and compliance, so you can focus solely on managing the developer’s tasks and priorities. You receive one fixed monthly invoice, which includes everything — no hidden fees or administrative burden.

Another core benefit is speed. Traditional hiring can take months. With our model, most clients are introduced to qualified candidates in just 7–10 business days. That means you can go from need to onboarding in under two weeks.

Finally, we offer built-in flexibility. Whether you need to scale up, swap developers, or pause temporarily, our setup makes it easy — no long-term commitments or rigid contracts. And because we operate locally in Thailand, we ensure your developer has a professional working setup and on-the-ground support.

By hiring through Move Marketing, you gain more than just a developer — you gain a reliable long-term asset for your business growth, without the risks of going it alone.
