Build with us
like you'd build in-house.

Hire Joomla developers who join your team, your repo, and your standups — backed by a 12-engineer Joomla organization that ships membership sites, association directories, community platforms, and Joomla-to-modern-CMS migrations.

On your team, day 1

Joomla developers join your Slack, your Trello, your sprint board. They pair with your existing team like senior in-house hires.

Git + Composer workflow

They use Composer for dependencies, Git for version control, and proper local dev environments — no FTP-cowboy patches on production.

You manage the work

You set content and feature priorities. We handle hiring, retention, payroll, and ongoing Joomla 4 / 5 training.

Engagement Models

Three ways
to hire from us.

Same senior Joomla bench, different commercial structure. From a single component developer to a full membership-platform team.

01
Day 1-2

We map your Joomla version (3 vs 4 vs 5), community vs content vs commerce needs, extensions in use, and migration / modernization plans.

02
Day 3-5

03
Day 6-10

Start an Interview

Live Joomla coding round (build a custom MVC component with ACL), template override walkthrough, and migration-strategy discussion.

04
Day 11-14

Onboarding

What companies say
about hiring from us.

"
★★★★★

We needed someone who actually understood Joomla MVC and ACL — not just install-and-tweak. WebSenor shipped a real custom component for our 18k-member medical directory.

ED
Executive Director, medical association
"
★★★★★

Migrating off Joomla 2.5 was terrifying after years of patches. WebSenor's migration lead ran a clean 2.5 → 5 cutover with zero SEO drop. Lifesaver.

★★★★★

VirtueMart B2B with per-customer pricing and ACL — most teams said use Magento. WebSenor delivered it on Joomla in 4 months, half the budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need
to know before hiring.

Joomla 3 hit EOL in 2023 — can you migrate us to Joomla 4 or 5?
Yes. We've migrated dozens of Joomla 2.5 and 3.x sites to Joomla 5. Structured process: extension compatibility audit → template rebuild on Cassiopeia or Helix Ultimate → content migration → SEF URL preservation → parallel-run testing → DNS cutover. SEO preserved.
Should we stay on Joomla or move to WordPress / Drupal?
Honest answer: depends on the use case. Joomla is still strong for membership sites, association directories, multilingual sites, and ACL-heavy community platforms. For content-heavy marketing sites, WordPress is usually better. For complex government / enterprise content, Drupal. We'll give you a straight take after looking at your site.
Can you build custom MVC components, not just install extensions?
Yes — that's the whole point of hiring our senior Joomla devs. We build proper custom components with models, views, controllers, ACL, layouts, and override patterns. Marketplace devs usually only configure extensions.
Do you handle Joomla → WordPress or Joomla → Drupal migrations if we want to move off?
Yes. We have tooling and playbooks for migrating Joomla content (articles, K2, FLEXIcontent, EasySocial) to WordPress Custom Post Types or Drupal nodes. 301 redirect maps, SEO preserved, no organic drop.
What about Joomla community platforms (EasySocial, Kunena, JomSocial)?
All three are our specialties. We've built large association communities (10k+ active members) on EasySocial with custom apps, ACL-tiered content, and Kunena forum integration.
What about Joomla commerce — VirtueMart vs HikaShop vs J2Store?
VirtueMart for complex B2B with per-customer pricing and ACL. HikaShop for clean B2C with subscription support. J2Store for lightweight catalogs. We'll pick based on your catalog, customer model, and integrations needed.
What does the 14-day SLA actually mean?
From discovery call (day 1) to the Joomla developer being onboarded and opening their first PR (day 14). Typical: shortlist by day 3-5, interviews day 6-10, MSA + dev access day 11-13, first commit by day 14.
How do you vet Joomla developers?
5 steps: 1) Resume + Joomla portfolio screen, 2) Joomla fundamentals screen with our Joomla lead, 3) Live coding test (90 min) — build a custom MVC component with ACL, 4) Extension architecture + override review, 5) Culture-fit + reference checks. <4% pass.
