Freelance WordPress Developer in the United States

Freelance WordPress developer for the United States: fast, secure WordPress sites and fixes. Planned for CCPA/CPRA and state privacy laws and local payments.

Overview

WordPress builds, redesigns and speed or security fixes — custom themes or block-based designs, WooCommerce, and clean plugin stacks that stay maintainable. Projects for the United States run remotely, with a daily call window agreed for your city's time zone. Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

United States-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in the United States have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

State privacy laws (California CCPA/CPRA and a growing list of other states): There is no single federal privacy law — COPPA covers children’s data, CAN-SPAM covers email and TCPA covers SMS.
ADA lawsuits make WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility a practical requirement for business sites.
Online sellers may owe sales tax in states where they have economic nexus.
Payment methods customers in the United States expect: Stripe, Square, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay and Affirm / Klarna / Afterpay.

This is practical delivery guidance, not legal advice.
