The Problem
Freelancers Design Pages. Team Members Design Your Business.
Visibly Marketing spent years juggling external design vendors: inconsistent output, no accountability, nobody who learned the SOPs. A designer on your team gets better every month. A vendor doesn’t.
01
Inconsistent Output
Great on Tuesday, off-brand on Friday. Every project restarts the learning curve.
02
Slow Delivery
When design waits in a freelancer’s queue, every site ships late, and so does the invoice.
03
No Ownership
Vendors finish the ticket. A team member notices what else needs doing and does it.
The Role
What a Strong WordPress Designer Owns
Design that ships inside WordPress, not just a Figma file someone else has to build.
01
Page & Site Design
Layouts for homepages, service pages and landing pages, designed to convert and built in WordPress.
02
Theme & Block Building
Builds pages with your theme, blocks or page builder, and keeps them consistent site-wide.
03
Brand & Visual Identity
Logos, colors and type applied across the site. GoSproost’s designer also redesigned the logo.
04
Graphics & Ad Creative
Banners, social graphics and ad creative. Visibly’s designer also took over Facebook ad creatives.
05
Content Updates
Blog posting, new pages and refreshes, without waiting on a developer.
06
Usability & Speed Basics
Clean layouts, sensible image sizes and mobile checks on every page. Custom code goes to a WordPress Developer.

Klaviyo Email Designer
“Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have gone wrong with any of them. They all seemed very good at what they did.”
Zach
Founder, ZHS Ecom · Hired an Account Manager and a Graphic Designer
“Totally smooth. They have an awesome system to plug you in and get you exactly what you need.”
Elayne
5 hires, from Executive Assistant to Developer
“Just having people there that I can trust, that I know do an amazing job… then they can operate on their own.”
Alex
WordPress Developer
“The guy was a complete rock star.”
Joe
Shopify Store Manager
“If I had done this myself, it would have taken so much longer and cost us money in lost time and mistakes. Working with HireUA was easy and professional, and the cost difference compared to hiring locally was huge.”
Kenan Clark

“100%. Especially for service-based businesses that operate online.”
AM Plus Agency
Video Editor
“Everything was quick. They understood that we were trying to hire very quickly.”
Seth
VP of Operations · Hired a developer
“The certainty and speed that HireUA helped us achieve with the recommended developer has been a night-and-day difference.”
“Used HireUA to hire my first employees for my company and they were absolutely fantastic. Helped pave the way for how I operate the business now. If you’re looking for extremely talented overseas employees, dont hesitate to reach of to HireUA. They make the process extremely simple and easy. They literally handle everything from sourcing, interview screening, managing, etc”
“HireUA has been a pleasure to work with. Less than a week in and I had multiple interviews lined up with some really solid candidates. Any issues that came up during the process were solved immediately by their team, allowing me to keep my focus on the business.”
“I used HireUA to get a social media manager/VA. They were fast, reliable, well-priced, and professional to deal with. Now I’m referring clients to them which is the ultimate sign of trust. Stop using bad agencies and work with a pro like HireUA.”
How We Screen
Taste Is Step One. Shipping Is the Job.
A beautiful mockup that never gets built doesn’t help you.
01
Define the Seat
Design only, or design and build? Your theme or page builder? Agency client sites or your own?
02
Review Live Sites
Ask for live WordPress sites they designed and built, not just Dribbble shots.
03
Run a Short Trial
One real page, from brief to built, in your stack. About 90 minutes after a short interview is enough.
04
Check English
Client-facing designers need to explain choices clearly. Visibly’s designer stood out for excellent English.
Where We Recruit
Great Web Designers Aren’t Limited to Your Zip Code.
HireUA recruits from 40+ countries. We don’t sell a country. We start with the role and search the market that fits it.
01
Eastern Europe
Where HireUA started, with people placed from 24 countries in the region. Visibly Marketing’s web designer, Karina, is from Ukraine.
02
Latin America
We’ve placed people from 14 Latin American countries, including Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina. Strong US time-zone overlap for client-facing, creative and sales roles.
03
The Philippines
Deep remote-work experience. Strong value for support, admin and repeatable production work where reliability and consistency matter.
04
South Africa
Excellent English and strong customer-facing talent, with natural overlap into the European workday and the US East Coast morning.
05
Middle East
Specialists and cross-functional talent, including Lebanon, Egypt and Turkey, when the role calls for it.
There’s no best country to hire from. There’s a best market for the job: experience, communication, working hours and pay decide where we search.

Questions
WordPress Designer Hiring FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a WordPress Designer?
Our Pricing Guide doesn’t list WordPress Designer as its own role. Comparable design seats typically earn $2,000–$3,000 (Graphic Designer) to $2,500–$3,500 (UI/UX Designer) a month full-time. That’s what the person earns, not HireUA’s fee.
WordPress Designer or WordPress Developer?
A designer owns how the site looks and converts and builds pages in your theme or page builder. A WordPress Developer owns custom code, plugins, speed and security.
Can one designer cover web, brand and ads?
Often, yes. Visibly’s designer handles websites, graphics, ad creative and blog content, and GoSproost’s designer covers 3D renderings, brand and the website.
How long should a design trial be?
About 90 minutes, on the same type of work they’ll do on day one, after a short interview.
How quickly can I interview candidates?
Qualified candidates are presented within 5 days of kickoff. Total time to hire depends on how quickly you interview and decide.
How does HireUA charge?
Monthly Hire includes HireUA administering and paying the hire. Direct Hire costs 15% of annual salary, subject to a $3,000 minimum, and you employ the person directly.
