What your BuddyBoss developer handles
Point your developer at a single task or a running backlog. The same person can move from a Theme fix on Monday to app notifications on Thursday.
Everyday site requests
Template overrides, new profile fields, extra group types and layout tweaks cleared from your backlog without a fresh project quote each time.
Course and group sync upkeep
When a LearnDash, LifterLMS or Tutor LMS release changes enrollment behavior, your developer confirms group membership and profile course tabs still match.
App release cycles
Rebuilding and resubmitting your BuddyBoss App after branding changes, new screens or updated Apple and Google requirements.
Small custom plugins
Custom activity types, automatic group enrollment rules, member directory filters or the admin report your team keeps building by hand in spreadsheets.
Integration upkeep
Keeping MemberPress, WooCommerce, Zoom, OneSignal and CRM connections healthy, including the webhook or API key that quietly stopped working.
Database and speed checks
Routine reviews of activity tables, media storage and slow queries, so response times hold up as membership grows.
Moderation and access rules
Adjusting reporting, blocking and Member Access Controls when your community policy changes, such as limiting who can message or create groups.
Staging and release management
Changes kept in version control, tested on staging and shipped with a rollback plan, so a routine update never turns into a weekend outage.

How we vet and manage your BuddyBoss developer
Matched to your stack
We assign a developer who has worked across BuddyBoss Platform, the Theme and the LMS plugin you run, not a general WordPress generalist.
Meet them before work starts
You speak with the developer and the project manager up front, and keep direct access to both for the whole engagement.
Three ways to engage
Part-time at 4 hours a day on a shared basis, or a dedicated developer full-time or hourly at 8 hours a day. Pick what suits this quarter's roadmap.
Reporting on a set rhythm
Daily reports on hourly plans, weekly on full-time and on completion for part-time tasks, delivered by email, Slack or your dashboard.
Guarantees in writing
A 100% satisfaction guarantee, on-time delivery and our zero billing guarantee if the developer does not meet expectations.
Protected IP
An NDA before you share anything, and full ownership of code, child themes and app configuration from day one.
Hire the way that suits you
Onsite, nearshore or offshore. Start part time and scale up, or take a dedicated developer from week one.
| What you get | Part time | Full time | Hourly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resource effort | 4 hrs/day | 8 hrs/day | 8 hrs/day |

| Minimum hiring term | 40 hrs/month | 120 hrs/month | 160 hrs/month |

From first call to first commit
Free consultation
Tell us about your community, your plugin stack and the backlog waiting for a developer. We suggest a model and the skills you need.
Developer match
We choose a developer from our own team whose BuddyBoss and LMS experience fits your tasks and whose hours overlap with yours.
Onboarding and access
The NDA is signed, staging and repository access is set up, and we walk through your existing customizations and known issues.
Working rhythm
Tasks live in your tracker or ours, overlap hours are fixed, and reports arrive on the cadence your plan includes.
Review and adjust
Regular check-ins with your project manager to reorder priorities and change hours as your roadmap moves.
Work we are asked to do
A backlog that never shrinks
An in-house team runs the community but has no BuddyBoss specialist. A part-time developer works through template and settings requests every week.
App refresh before enrollment season
A training company updates its BuddyBoss App before each intake and brings in a dedicated hourly developer for the rebuild and store resubmission.
Agency that needs extra hands
A web agency wins a BuddyBoss client and adds our full-time developer under NDA for the build, then drops to part-time for support.
Membership site bracing for growth
A large intake is coming, and the owner wants one developer watching performance, moderation and payment integrations every working day.
Tools and integrations
What makes a good BuddyBoss hire
Plenty of WordPress developers can install BuddyBoss. Fewer can explain why a member sees a group in the web feed but not in the app, or why a LearnDash update suddenly stopped adding new learners to their cohort group. Those problems sit between plugins, and they are the reason most teams hire a specialist instead of a generalist.
Skills we check before assigning someone
- Working knowledge of BuddyBoss Platform components, profile types, group types and Member Access Controls.
- Template overrides in a BuddyBoss child theme, done so Theme updates still apply.
- Experience with at least one LMS integration: LearnDash social groups, LifterLMS or Tutor LMS.
- Comfort with the BuddyBoss App plugin, push notifications and the store release process.
- PHP, MySQL and WordPress hooks, plus the habit of profiling queries before blaming the server.
Choosing an engagement model
Part-time suits a community with a steady trickle of requests. Your developer works 4 hours a day on a shared allocation and reports when each task is complete.
Full-time gives you a dedicated developer for 8 hours a day with weekly reports. It fits a build phase, an app launch or a site with constant change.
Hourly is also dedicated at 8 hours a day, with daily reporting. Teams choose it when they want close visibility on every day's output.
We also offer onsite, nearshore and offshore staffing, and the right answer often changes over time: full-time during a rebuild, then part-time once the community settles.
The first days on your project
Onboarding starts with paperwork, because it protects you: the NDA is signed before your developer sees the site. Next comes access, kept to what the work requires, usually a staging site, the repository and a limited admin account. Then your developer reads the existing customizations, lists anything risky (edited core files, abandoned add-ons, plugins that duplicate BuddyBoss features) and agrees the first priorities with you and your project manager.
From there it is steady work: tasks in a tracker, changes on staging, a short review with you, and a release. You see progress in the reports your plan includes and can message the developer directly when something urgent comes up.
Working across time zones
During onboarding we agree a block of shared hours for standups, reviews and anything that needs a quick answer. Outside that window your developer keeps working through the backlog, so a request logged at the end of your day can move forward before you are back at your desk.
Why teams stay with us
Our developers are our own employees, so the person who learns your community this month is still here next month. You own everything they write. And if a developer does not meet expectations, our zero billing guarantee means you are not charged for that work. If you would rather hand us a defined project with a fixed quote, our BuddyBoss development services page explains how that works.
