WordPress Developer Cover Letter Example

I lead theme and plugin development for 15 to 20 concurrent client projects at Northgate Digital Agency, translating Figma designs into pixel-accurate custom WordPress themes for clients who'll notice a two-pixel misalignment before they notice the site is fast. I'm applying to [Company name] because I want to keep building WordPress sites that are both beautiful and genuinely fast, not just one or the other.

Rebuilding a WooCommerce store's checkout flow raised completion rate from 61% to 78% and added about $22,000 in monthly recovered revenue. A custom booking plugin I built for a 40-location franchise client now processes 1,800-plus transactions monthly with zero downtime incidents, and reducing average client site load time from 4.6 seconds to 1.4 across our 60-site maintenance portfolio came from caching, image optimization and query audits done one site at a time.

I write custom themes and plugins in PHP, build with Advanced Custom Fields for anything a client needs to edit themselves, and handle Gutenberg block development for clients who want more layout control without touching code. I hold a WooCommerce Certified Developer credential and mentor two junior developers on theme architecture and Git workflow.

I'd welcome a conversation about which of [Company name]'s WordPress projects would benefit most from that same speed and checkout attention and where five years of exactly that could help. I'm glad to walk through the booking plugin in a portfolio review. Thank you for your consideration.
