Freelance WordPress Developer in Seattle

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

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 Seattle run remotely with a fixed daily call window — 08:00–09:30 your time (21:30–23:00 IST). Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

United States-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Seattle 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.
The full list for the United States is on the WordPress Developer in the United States page.

Decisions to make before work starts
