Engagement models
Hourly, dedicated, or fixed-price. Which one fits your project?
The right model depends on how defined the work is and how long you need it. We scope the fit for free before you commit.
Hourly block
20 hours purchased upfront, drawn down as needed. Fits ongoing small requests: fixes, tweaks, questions, without a monthly commitment.
Dedicated developer
One senior engineer working on your codebase every month, billed monthly. Fits a roadmap of ongoing feature work rather than a single project.
Fixed-price project
A written scope and milestones agreed before code starts. Fits a defined project with a clear end point: a plugin, a migration, a redesign.
Honest comparison
A freelancer marketplace, or an agency?
A freelancer marketplace can be the right, cheaper call for a small, well-defined, one-off task. It gets riskier as the work gets bigger or more ongoing.
Freelancer marketplace | An agency (us) | |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest cost for a five-minute fix | Often yes | Still available, may not be worth the overhead |
| Vetted for seniority before you hire | Varies by platform and reviewer | Senior only, 5+ years, checked by us |
| Continuity if your developer becomes unavailable | Restart the search | Another senior engineer on the same team |
| Accountability for a multi-month project | Depends entirely on the individual | A company with 600+ projects on record |
| Time zone coverage | One person's hours | EST, PST and IST |
How it works
How does hiring a developer through Tweaks WP actually work?
Tell us the work and the model you're after
Hourly, dedicated, or fixed-price. A senior engineer reads every enquiry, usually the same day Monday to Friday.
Free 30-minute call to scope it
We confirm the fit, the engineer, and the model, and follow up with a fixed price or rate within 48 hours.
Start working, on staging first
Changes are built and tested on a copy of your site before anything touches production.
Keep going, or hand over and stop
Extend the engagement month to month, or take the finished code and end it. Nothing locks you in.
