Remote WordPress Developer for Edinburgh Agencies
White-label, UK business hours, £40/hour, NDA-friendly. Built specifically for Edinburgh digital agencies that need senior WordPress capacity without the cost of a full-time hire.
Why Edinburgh Agencies Hire Remote WordPress Developers
Edinburgh's agency scene clusters around Leith, Quartermile and the Old Town — serving finance, government, tourism, and Scotland's booming tech sector.
Edinburgh agencies prize developers who understand accessibility (WCAG 2.2), public-sector compliance and bilingual (English/Gaelic) content workflows.
Built for Edinburgh's Agency Workflow
Same timezone, same business hours
I work 09:00–18:00 GMT/BST from Italy. Edinburgh stand-ups, client calls and Slack pings land during my workday — not at 03:00.
£40/hour, no markup, no minimum
Half the loaded cost of a Edinburgh mid-weight in-house developer. 100% billable utilisation, paid only for delivered work.
Silent, white-label by default
Your client never sees my name. NDA signed before access. I never appear in client emails, footers, or proposals.
The Kind of Edinburgh Agencies I Work With
Leith creative agencies, Quartermile fintech consultancies, Old Town heritage and tourism specialists.
Whether your team is based in Leith, Quartermile, Old Town or anywhere else in Scotland, the engagement model is identical: remote, async-friendly, structured handoffs, and weekly progress check-ins.

Edinburgh Agency FAQ
- Do you work with Edinburgh agencies remotely?
- Yes. I partner exclusively with UK digital agencies — including teams in Edinburgh — as a remote white-label WordPress developer. I work UK business hours (09:00–18:00 GMT/BST) from Italy, so stand-ups, Slack and client deadlines stay on your timezone.
- How do Edinburgh-based agencies typically engage you?
- Most Edinburgh agencies start with a single Figma-to-WordPress build to test the workflow, then move to a recurring monthly retainer of 20–80 hours. NDA on day one, your project management tool, your Git workflow, your client — never mine.
- What's your rate for Edinburgh digital agencies?
- £40/hour flat, billed in 15-minute increments via your preferred tool (Harvest, Toggl, ClickUp). No setup fee, no minimum retainer, no markup on hosting or third-party plugins. Compare that to Edinburgh in-house seniors at £55k–£75k loaded cost.
- Will you sign an NDA with our Edinburgh agency?
- Always. Your NDA, your template, no negotiation. Your client list and project details are confidential by default — I never publish case studies, never tag clients, and never appear in your delivery emails.
- Can you handle urgent fixes for our Edinburgh agency clients?
- Yes. Within UK working hours I respond to urgent tickets within 60 minutes. For genuine site-down emergencies I offer prioritised same-day fixes — see my piece on handling urgent WordPress bug fixes for the full SLA.
- What kind of WordPress work do Edinburgh agencies send you?
- Custom theme builds from Figma/XD/Sketch, ACF Pro/Meta Box-driven editorial sites, Gutenberg block development, Bricks and Elementor builds, plugin customisation, performance tuning, accessibility (WCAG 2.2) remediation, and ongoing care plans.
