Plugin Mastery:

• Comfortable using and customizing ACF (Advanced Custom Fields), Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, WooCommerce, and others.
• Experience with third-party integrations and custom post types.

Optimization & Security:

• Boost site performance (caching, lazy loading, CDN setup, image compression, database optimization).
• Implement WordPress security best practices (firewall configuration, vulnerability patching, login protection, etc.).

Testing & Deployment:

• Ensure mobile responsiveness and cross-browser compatibility.
• Push sites live using cPanel, staging environments, or Git-based workflows.

Collaboration & Leadership:

• Work with designers, product managers, and junior developers.
• Participate in agile workflows and project discussions.
