Top 10 Places To Find Remote WordPress Freelance Jobs

Codeable, a developer marketplace that focuses on WordPress developers.

If you are looking for an exclusive marketplace for WordPress freelancers, Codeable is the ideal place to start. Like every legit business environment out there, Codeable is not for all and sundry. You’ll need to have the chops and experience to get approved on the Codeable Platform. Immediately you get approved to be a member of Codeable’s extensive WordPress community, you can browse through a variety of jobs. Besides, most jobs offered at this site are remote jobs and they pay a minimum of $60 for every hour you spend developing a website for the employer.

On the page linked below you can apply as a freelance WordPress developer to their platform.

2) WeWorkRemotely

WeWorkRemotely has a page focused on WordPress jobs specifically

WeWorkRemotely is the most popular remote work-specific jobs website on the internet now. They get many types of job posts from web development, writing, support, and others. They have a page that’s dedicated to WordPress jobs specifically. WeWorkRemotely also provides an RSS feed for you to subscribe to if you don’t want to check the website a lot.

Toptal, a freelancer marketplace that offers good pay. There are also WordPress jobs available.

Toptal is another great platform to land remote WordPress jobs. This platform is mostly renowned as a freelancing site for the top 3 percent of freelance talents, and it lives up to this reputation by providing a wide variety of tech-related jobs to its members. To browse the platform for job opportunities, you’ll have to apply for membership and wait to be approved. Because of the scrutiny and security of the platform, it offers better-paying jobs than a most freelance website on the web today.

Note that this is one of the more difficult platforms to join. You’ll have to study and make sure you pass all of their tests. It’s very engineering focused, but the pay is very good.

RemoteLeads is a newsletter owned by Paul Metcalfe. He searches a variety of different websites and places on the web to find the best remote work jobs. WordPress is one of the technology categories that he sends out jobs for.

He sends out jobs approximately one to two times a week.

5) AuthenticJobs.com

AuthenticJobs.com offers jobs focused on designers, developers, and creatives. Many WordPress jobs get posted here.

6) LinkedIn Jobs

LinkedIn is a good platform for jobs, including freelance and contract positions. WordPress positions get posted here too.

Okay, I’m sure you were not expecting LinkedIn in this rundown, as we often underrate its potential as a source for remote WordPress freelance jobs. LinkedIn is a great platform for sourcing jobs in all fields especially when it comes to WordPress development and coding. Many companies visit this platform to look for WordPress developers to provide much-needed support for their existing website development team. Besides, the platform offers a job alert feature that notifies you when a job opportunity arises

To find jobs on LinkedIn, go to the jobs page here, and search for keywords like “WordPress”, “WordPress Developer”, and “WordPress Freelance”.

7) WordPress Slack Groups

WP Developers’ Club is one of the recommended WordPress-focused Slack Groups

There are a variety of different Slack Groups dedicated to WordPress. Many of them provides a #jobs channel where they post jobs. They also have clients go in there specifically to ask for WordPress developers. It’s good to join these and keep and eye on them for special jobs that don’t get many candidates.

Here are the two WordPress-focused Slack channels that are most recommended:

  1. WP Developer’s Club
  2. WordPress + Slack

Some of these channels also allow you to introduce yourself and to explicitly say that you’re available for work. I’d utilize this but only if it does not go against the rules of the Slack Group.

8) jobs.wordpress.net

jobs.wordpress.net is one of the more official WordPress-focused job boards.

This is one of the best places to land high paying remote WordPress Jobs on the internet. Just so you know, this freelance marketplace is often included in the WordPress.org footer. It serves as a meeting ground where diverse people meet up to outsource WordPress work to professional developers. The job opportunities span from Front-end development to writing, and minor tweaks. This platform is a solid mix of full-time, part-time, and freelance jobs. So before you get too excited about an offer, make sure it fits into the remote freelance category.
