WordPress developer for
agencies and SMBs

I'm Victor. I build and maintain WordPress sites for design and marketing agencies on monthly retainers, and take on standalone projects for small businesses.

Not sure which tier is the right fit, or need something in between?

Drop me a line with your pace, stack, deadlines and the tools you use (Slack, Asana, Basecamp, anything). I adapt to how your team already works - I can follow your process strictly, or suggest changes if you want them.

Either way you'll get an honest reply and the simplest way to start.

About

Victor

Portrait of Victor Shudra, independent WordPress developer

I'm Victor, a WordPress developer based in Odesa, Ukraine, relocating to France. I've been building for the web for 15 years - first as a front-end developer, then a WordPress tech lead at The White Label Agency, and since 2016 as an independent contractor working remotely with agencies in Europe, the US, Canada and New Zealand.

You always deal directly with me - no account managers, no handoffs. I do my best work in long-term collaborations where I learn your stack and stay, but smaller projects are fine too.

I keep up with new AI tooling and use what proves itself in daily work - scaffolding, research, routine code. It makes me faster and the output better, but everything still goes through my review before it ships: the tools don't make the decisions. You get the speed without the "who wrote this?" moments.

Send a brief and I'll reply with honest feedback and clear next steps.

How to start?

Send me the basics - what the project involves, timeline, constraints, and what success looks like.
I'll get back to you within 24 hours with an honest assessment of fit, risks, and recommendations.

We can also start with a small sample project or smaller tasks set before committing to a retainer.
