    Russian invasion to Ukraine update: Fully operating, looking for new projects. My experience: ━━━━━━━━ 7 years of successful PrestaShop development: ✔️ Theme installation and adjustments ✔️ Module development - any level of complexity ✔️ API integration: shipment, payment (Stripe, Paypal), supplier warehouses, social media integrations, CRM integrations, Prestashop API etc. ✔️ Optimization (caching, server upgrades, debug profiling, DB queries optimization, module adjustments for better performance) ✔️ Long-term support, Emergency support Skill stack, most in use: ━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✔️ PHP 5.6+, C++ as programming languages ✔️ HTML5 (+smarty and twig as templates) ✔️ CSS3 ✔️ JavaScript (jQuery) ✔️ MySQL5.5+ and MariaDB. ✔️ CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian as Server's OS ✔️ Git, Docker ✔️ Frameworks/CMS: Prestashop, Wordpress, Laravel, Simfony, Yii2 Few suggestions on how to improve your Prestashop website, free of charge: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Enable caching - you know, some clients and freelancers often forget about this important built-in tool. It improves your website performance and can significantly speed it up. 2. Enable pretty URLs - it's a part of free of charge SEO built-in PrestaShop. 3. Disable statistic modules - I guess you've already had Google Analytics for this purpose. Disabling modules can help you to improve performance, speed up your admin pages and don't waste your DB memory by writing useless info. 4. Clean up your product and checkout pages - try to focus your client's attention on the main thing - on a product they want to buy. Leave 1 - max 2 blocks of additional products to offer at the end of the page. 5. Don't make your menu complex. Want to understand how much it complex? Ask your friend to find some product without using searching and count how much time it will take. If it takes more than 15 seconds to find the right category - you need to make an urgent review of your site's navigation. 6. Figure out who are your competitors. Figure out how do they attract customer's attention. Implement ready-to-use decisions, which already tested by your competitors. Save your time, money and enjoy benefits.

    With a M.Eng degree in electronic and electrical engineering and 20+ years in the embedded software industry, and most recently in WordPress and CodeIgniter website and React App development, I have a broad range of skills. Recent professional projects include: WordPress theme and plugin development; working with and debugging WooCommerce, BookingWP Appointments, and YITH Stripe Connect. I have extensive experience in php and JavaScript, interfacing with Advanced Content Fields and Gravity Forms to provide validation and filtering. I have worked with Zapier and also written REST API Interfaces for directly creating and controlling ZOOM meetings to a level that Zapier didn't support, another to add subscribers to a MailChimp audience, and a third to update Google Sheets. I've had regular work for the last 6 months supporting a CodeIgniter-3 application and React user interface. My primary industrial experience has been in the cellular network world, from cellphones to base stations. That taught me design discipline; writing clear concise documentation, and laying out use cases and testing scenarios. I also developed skills in multitasking operating systems from VxWorks to Vrtx, in Unix/Linux scripting (shell scripts,Python, Perl), and Unix, Linux, and Windows OS support.

How to Hire Top PHP Developers

It’s the “P” in the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) technology stack. It can be found on the back end of a majority of websites. It’s PHP, the traditional language of choice for back-end web development. If you’re looking for a freelancer who can help you set up the back end of your website, a PHP developer can help.

So how do you find a PHP developer? What follows are some tips on how you can find top PHP developers on Upwork.

What Is A PHP Developer?

A PHP developer is a back-end developer experienced in using the PHP (hypertext preprocessor) programming language. They are often called “back-end engineers.” PHP developers are able to take a client’s specifications and turn them into a workable, tangible product that runs on a web server. PHP developers code the functionality that brings an app to life. Collaborating with designers, they ensure that the front-end application is appealing to users. You may find that some PHP developers have front-end design skills, but oftentimes, they work with UI and UX designers to create a user interface that’s engaging and supported by solid back-end functionality.

PHP Development Solutions for Businesses

PHP developers are able to offer solutions that might go beyond generic web and app building. 

Custom Content Management Systems

PHP Developers can build custom CMS platforms tailored to the specific needs of a business, offering more flexibility and functionality compared to standard solutions like WordPress and Joomla. 

Dynamic Web Application Development 

PHP is ideal for creating dynamic and interactive web applications. PHP developers can build applications that are highly responsive and interactive, with real-time data processing capabilities. 

Server-Side Scripting for Web Pages

PHP developers create server-side scripts that generate dynamic web page content, allowing for more complex and feature-rich websites than what can be achieved with only client-side scripting.

API Integration and Development

PHP developers can create custom APIs for businesses to facilitate seamless data exchange between different software systems. They can also integrate existing APIs to enhance website or application functionality.

Questions To Answer Before Hiring A Social Media Designer

Before vetting potential candidates, it’s important to lay out your project’s requirements. Answer the following questions, and you’ll have a great starting point for hiring talent

What expertise is required to run your project(s) efficiently?

Not all PHP Developers have the same level of expertise, and not all projects require a senior level developer. 

When do you need to hire a more experienced developer? Suppose you need an enterprise-level CRM system created. You’ll need the expertise of an advanced developer who has the necessary experience and in-depth knowledge of PHO frameworks and design patterns to successfully carry out the project. But if your company needs only a basic website set up with standard functionalities like posting articles, user comments, and a contact form, a basic PHP developer would suffice. 

What is the timeline of your project?

Let prospective know if they’ll work on short, single, or multiple projects with your team. 

What skills are you looking for besides those directly related to PHP development?

Besides technical skills, it’s important to hire a PHP Developer who encompasses certain soft skills that are particularly beneficial for this role. Problem solving, teamwork, and time management are all great soft skills for a PHP developer to have.

Hiring A PHP Developer

You can hire a PHP Designer on Upwork in four simple steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a PHP Designer. 
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview PHP developers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Writing A PHP Designer Job Post

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job Post Title

Create a simple title that describes what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords your ideal candidate will likely type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample PHP developer job post titles:

  • Hiring a PHP backend developer for dynamic web solutions 
  • PHP full-stack developer needed to lead innovative web projects 
  • Seeking an experienced PHP developer for web application developer 

Project Description

  • Scope of work: From unit tests to new features, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience working with certain industries, software, or technologies, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

PHP Developer Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain PHP-based web applications 
  • Work with databases such as MYSQL, ensuring efficient data storage and retrieval 
  • Coordinate with front-end developers to ensure seamless integration between the server-side logic and client-side application
