What to look for in a Joomla freelancer
A strong Joomla developer should know both the admin side and the code behind extensions, since many issues live between the two. Look for:
- Hands-on extension development, not only installing what others built.
- Template and override skills so design changes survive future updates.
- Upgrade experience across major Joomla versions, which can be tricky.
- Comfortable PHP and MySQL, the foundation Joomla runs on.
- Working Joomla sites to show, ideally similar in size to yours.
Ask how they handle template overrides during upgrades. It is where careless work usually breaks the design.
