Dedicated WordPress Development

Your WordPress Developer,
Without the Hiring Headache.

Get a full-time dedicated WordPress developer from $1,000/month to handle the development work your team doesn’t have time for.

Managed by Spiracle, with a 6-month minimum commitment.

  • 40 hours/week
  • Your working hours
  • Managed by Spiracle

Ideal for agencies, businesses, and teams that need reliable WordPress development capacity.

The Problem

Your workload keeps growing. Your team doesn’t have to.

Your senior developer shouldn’t spend their day fixing CSS, building landing pages, making routine WordPress changes, or working through repetitive maintenance tasks.

Give those tasks to a dedicated developer while your core team focuses on the work that actually requires them.

Without additional development capacity

  • Client work increases
  • Senior developer becomes overloaded
  • Small tasks interrupt complex work
  • Projects take longer
  • Hiring becomes necessary
  • Recruitment and onboarding consume time

With Spiracle

  • Development capacity increases
  • Routine tasks can be delegated
  • Senior developers focus on complex work
  • More projects can be handled
  • No recruitment process
  • Capacity can scale with demand

FAQ

Dedicated developer questions, answered.

What level of developer is included at $1,000/month?

The $1,000/month tier is designed for standard WordPress development and is typically fulfilled by a junior-to-mid-level developer. If your requirements involve advanced architecture, complex integrations, senior-level engineering, or technical leadership, we can recommend a more experienced developer at a higher monthly rate.

Is the developer dedicated to us?

Your plan provides 40 hours/week of development capacity dedicated to your work.

Is this a full-time developer?

Yes. Your plan includes a full-time dedicated developer working 40 hours per week, Monday–Friday, during the agreed working hours for your team. The developer remains employed or engaged through Spiracle, while working exclusively on your assigned work during those hours.

Can we decide what the developer works on?

Yes. You provide the task list and priorities, and your developer works through the queue during your agreed working schedule.

Can you work with our existing WordPress website?

In most cases, yes. We’ll review the technical environment and requirements before starting.

Do you work with agencies?

Yes. Agencies are one of the primary use cases for the service, including ongoing and white-label WordPress development.

Can we use our existing project management system?

Where practical, we can work with your existing workflow. The exact tools and access requirements can be agreed during onboarding.

Is there a minimum commitment?

Yes. Our dedicated developer plans have a 6-month minimum commitment. This allows us to reserve developer capacity, properly onboard the developer to your workflow, and build familiarity with your website and development environment.

Can I cancel after 6 months?

Yes. After the initial 6-month commitment, you can discuss renewal or ending the engagement according to the terms of your agreement. The exact notice period and commercial terms are defined in the service agreement.

What happens if the developer isn’t a good fit?

Let us know. We’ll review the situation and, where appropriate, arrange a replacement rather than leaving you to restart the hiring process.

Does the $1,000 include unlimited work?

No. The plan includes 40 hours/week of development capacity. Tasks are prioritized according to your requirements and available capacity.

Can I get more than 40 hours/week?
