A WordPress developer in your team. Without hiring one.

Rate
45/h
Billed in real 30-minute blocks. Written estimate first.

20 years in web dev, 8 years fully specialised in WordPress. Available by the hour for recurring or one-off tasks. No retainer, no minimum, no binding contract. You write, I estimate, I work, I bill the real minutes.

Symptoms
  • !You have a WordPress site in production and no one really maintaining it
  • !You would need a monthly retainer for things you use once every 2 months
  • !You want a tech reachable when you need them, not when they're free
  • !You're a design agency and you need a white-label WP dev
  • !You have a small in-house team but no WordPress hand
  • !You need honest estimates to decide whether to build a feature or not
Most common causes
  • 01A package-based model does not scale on small tasks
  • 02Random freelancers with no references and no proper invoicing
  • 03Internal devs maxed out on long-term projects
  • 04Site documentation missing or fragmented
  • 05Need for independent technical advice before an investment
  • 06Need for a stable, reachable, identifiable person
How I solve it

A repeatable procedure, not guesswork.

  1. 01

    Light onboarding

    Email with the site description, access, context. No mandatory call. I need half an hour of reading, not a kickoff.

  2. 02

    Async tasks

    You send tasks by email. Written estimate within 24 working hours. Accepted → we go.

  3. 03

    Work + report

    Backup, work, test, detailed report. Always in plain language: what was touched, what is still open.

  4. 04

    Monthly or per-task invoicing

    We decide upfront: one invoice per closed task, or cumulative at month-end. €45/h, Italian VAT invoicing.

  5. 05

    Cadence

    The more you use me, the more I know your site, the more accurate the estimates. After 2–3 months onboarding time drops to zero.

  6. 06

    Stop without penalties

    You quit whenever. No clauses, no notice. You restart whenever you need, even after 6 months.

Realistic estimate

How much can it cost?

Indicative range. Final estimate after seeing the site.

Single task
1–3h
€45–€135

One change, one fix, one controlled update. The most common size: it arrives, it gets estimated, it closes.

Structured task
3–8h
€135–€360

A new feature, an integration, a section to build. Written estimate before anything starts.

Run of tasks
8–20h
€360–€900

Several jobs agreed together and worked through in sequence. Each estimated on its own: no block of hours to buy upfront.

Quick questions

The questions I always get.

01Can I use you as a recurring 'external dev'?

+

Yes. You send tasks when you need them, I reply with an estimate within 24 working hours. No mandatory retainer, no monthly minimum: you pay only for hours worked. Many clients use me 2–4 hours a month, others 20.

02Do you also work with agencies that need a WP tech?

+

Yes. White-label if needed: I write in the agency's tone, I invoice the agency, the end client never knows I exist. There's an agency-focused side on filippotinnirello.it if you want to see it.

03How many small tasks can you handle in parallel?

+

Typically 5–8 clients in rotation, always within the 24-hour reply window. I'm not a studio, I'm one person. That means consistent quality, but it also means sometimes timing stretches by a day.

04What do you NOT do?

+

Branding, copy, marketing, SEO content, ads campaigns, project management, web design from scratch without mockups. I handle code and WordPress, not the creative or commercial side.
