What to look for in a Drupal freelancer
A strong Drupal developer should work with the framework's conventions rather than around them, since shortcuts cause upgrade pain later. Look for:
- Real module and theme experience, not just point-and-click site building.
- Command of core systems: Views, entities, fields, and the configuration system.
- Upgrade and migration know-how, including the Migrate API for large moves.
- Solid PHP and Symfony basics, since modern Drupal is built on them.
- Live Drupal sites they can show, ideally at a scale close to yours.
Ask whether they follow Drupal coding standards and use the configuration system. It signals work that your next developer can pick up.
