Hire Craft CMS developer

Pricing stays simple and transparent. You pay a flat monthly rate that bundles salary, benefits, workspace, local taxes, and smartbrain.io’s management fee. No hidden onboarding charges, recruitment retainers, or buy-out clauses. Depending on seniority, a mid-level Craft CMS developer starts at roughly 45 % less than equivalent U.S. payroll. Because we operate in multiple talent hubs, currency fluctuations work in your favor while quality remains high. The model also eliminates sunk recruitment costs—if a contractor changes, replacement is free. For budgeting, you can treat the fee as OPEX, not CAPEX, keeping CFOs happy.

IP security is non-negotiable. Every developer signs a U.S.-law governed NDA and an IP assignment agreement before accessing your repo. Smartbrain.io maintains SOC-2 aligned policies: encrypted devices, MFA on all services, and continuous endpoint monitoring. We can spin up VPN-isolated VPCs or restrict workstations to VDI if needed. Source code lives in your git organization, so ownership never leaves your control. For additional peace of mind, we’ll comply with any vendor-risk questionnaire your legal team requires.

No—coverage is built in. We recruit across North America, LATAM, and EMEA to guarantee at least 4 overlapping hours with U.S. clients. Daily stand-ups happen during your morning, while asynchronous updates keep velocity high when you’re offline. Should you need 100 % overlap for a launch window, we adjust shifts accordingly at no extra cost.

Flexibility drives our agreements. Standard terms start at one-month notice with rolling monthly extensions. Scale up or down any time—ideal for project-based demand. Invoices arrive Net 15 and can be paid via ACH, credit card, or wire. If your procurement requires MSAs or security addenda, our legal team turns documents within 48 hours.

Only the top 5 % make the bench. Candidates first clear an English-language interview, then a 90-minute Craft CMS coding test covering custom modules, Twig, and Yii2 under timed conditions. Next comes an architecture panel with ex-CTOs, followed by reference checks. Acceptance rate is below 4 %, so you interview only elite talent.

Replacement is on us. Notify your account manager, and we’ll supply a replacement within one week—often sooner—at no additional cost. Transition overlap ensures zero knowledge loss. Our retention rate sits above 96 %, but the guarantee gives you full peace of mind.

As fast as 24 hours. Once you sign the proposal, we schedule a kickoff call, align on stack, culture, and roadmap, and introduce vetted profiles the same day. Average time from brief to first line of code in production is 3-5 business days, beating typical in-house hiring cycles by months.
