Hire a LifterLMS developer who works like part of your team

When hiring a LifterLMS developer beats a one-off project

A fixed project works when you know exactly what you want. Many LifterLMS site owners don't have that luxury. They have a list of small problems, a few features they'd like to try and an update schedule that keeps slipping. A dedicated developer handles that kind of rolling work far better than a series of separate quotes.

Typical signs you're ready: your team spends more time fixing enrollments than creating courses, add-ons sit installed but half configured, or you've postponed a LifterLMS update because nobody is sure what it will break.

What we check before a developer joins your account

Every developer we assign is a full-time member of our staff. Before they touch a client's LifterLMS site, they have worked through the areas where most support time goes:

• Access plan and membership logic, including trials, recurring plans and restricted content.
• The engagement system, with its triggers, delays and certificate templates.
• Template overrides and hooks, so customizations never live in core or parent theme files.
• The REST API and webhooks for links to CRMs, form plugins and outside apps.
• Staging, version control and rollback, because a bad deploy on a live course site costs enrollments.

How onboarding works

Getting set up

We begin with a kickoff call to agree on priorities, overlap hours and how you want updates. Your developer then gets access to staging, your repository and the WordPress admin, reviews your add-ons, theme and custom code, and writes up anything risky they find. The first task is deliberately small so you can judge code quality and communication early.

After the first task

From there the developer works through your backlog in the order you set. Your project manager keeps the list current, flags blockers and makes sure nothing sits waiting on an unanswered question.

Time zones and reporting

We staff onsite, nearshore or offshore depending on what you need. Whichever you choose, we agree on a window of shared working hours so you can review work and answer questions during your own day. Reporting follows the engagement you pick, from daily updates on hourly work to weekly reports for full-time developers, with milestone summaries for larger features.

Risk, ownership and guarantees

You own everything your developer writes, and we sign an NDA before any access is granted. If the developer isn't meeting expectations, our zero billing guarantee means you aren't charged for that work, or you get your payment back.

LifterLMS areas your developer can own

Course builder structure, quizzes and question banks, grading for the Assignments add-on, Groups and group leader permissions, Private Areas for one-on-one coaching, Social Learning, Twilio SMS notifications, PDFs for certificates and orders, and checkout through Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.Net or WooCommerce. If it runs on LifterLMS, it can go on your developer's board.
