Hire a Filipino WordPress Virtual Assistant

Our WordPress VAs are proficient in all major page builders including Elementor, Elementor Pro, Divi Builder, Gutenberg (the native block editor), Oxygen Builder, Bricks Builder, and WPBakery. They also work confidently with popular theme frameworks like Astra, GeneratePress, Kadence, and OceanWP, as well as fully custom-coded themes. During the matching process, we prioritise candidates who already have hands-on experience with the specific tools your site uses. If you’re working with a less common builder or a proprietary theme, your VA can typically get up to speed within the first few days of onboarding.

Absolutely. WooCommerce is one of the most requested skill sets among our WordPress developer VAs. Your VA can handle the full spectrum of WooCommerce work — from initial store setup, product imports, and payment gateway configuration to ongoing tasks like inventory management, coupon creation, shipping rule adjustments, and checkout optimisation. They’re also experienced with popular WooCommerce extensions including subscriptions, memberships, bookings, and product bundles. Whether you’re launching a new store or managing thousands of SKUs, your WordPress virtual assistant keeps your eCommerce operation running smoothly.

This is one of the most important parts of what a WordPress virtual assistant does — and one of the biggest reasons to hire one. Your VA follows a structured update protocol: first, they take a full backup of your site. Then they apply updates in a staging environment where they test for compatibility issues, visual regressions, and functionality breaks. Only after everything checks out do they push the updates to your live site. This approach eliminates the dreaded “update and pray” cycle that causes most WordPress outages. You get the latest features and security patches without any of the risk.

Our Filipino WordPress developers are proficient in the core WordPress technology stack — PHP, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and MySQL. Many also have working knowledge of jQuery, AJAX, REST API integration, and version control with Git. Beyond coding, they understand WordPress architecture at a deep level: hooks, filters, custom post types, taxonomies, the template hierarchy, and child theme development. For more advanced projects, we can match you with VAs who have experience building custom plugins, integrating third-party APIs, and writing complex database queries. Every candidate is technically assessed before being shortlisted for your review.

Security is a top priority in every WordPress VA engagement. We recommend creating a dedicated administrator account for your VA with strong credentials and two-factor authentication enabled. Your VA will never ask for your personal login details. We also advise using role-based access control so your VA only has permissions relevant to their tasks. Every WordPress virtual assistant signs a comprehensive non-disclosure agreement before starting. On the technical side, your VA implements security hardening measures — firewall rules, login attempt limits, file permission checks, and activity logging — that actually make your site more secure than it was before they joined.

Yes, and this is one of the highest-impact tasks your virtual assistant for WordPress will tackle. Speed optimisation typically includes image compression and WebP conversion, browser and server-side caching configuration, CSS and JavaScript minification and deferral, database optimisation, lazy loading implementation, and render-blocking resource elimination. Your VA will also audit your active plugins and remove or replace any that are bloated or poorly coded. Most clients see significant improvements in their Largest Contentful Paint, First Input Delay, and Cumulative Layout Shift scores within the first two weeks — directly improving both user experience and Google rankings.

When you hire a WordPress VA through Armasourcing, you get a dedicated professional working exclusively on your site — not a junior developer juggling fifteen agency clients. You communicate directly with your VA, set priorities in real time, and maintain full control over what gets done and when. Agencies typically charge premium retainers, lock you into long-term contracts, and add layers of project management between you and the person actually doing the work. With a WordPress developer VA, you pay for dedicated hours of focused development at 60-70% less cost, get faster turnaround times, and build a working relationship with someone who truly understands your site inside and out.

Yes. WordPress migrations are a core competency for our VAs. Whether you’re moving from shared hosting to a VPS, switching from one provider to another, or changing your domain name entirely, your WordPress VA handles the entire process. This includes full site backup, database export and import, file transfer, DNS configuration guidance, SSL certificate setup, URL search-and-replace across the database, and thorough post-migration testing. They also handle multisite migrations and staging-to-live deployments. Most straightforward migrations are completed within 24 to 48 hours with zero downtime — and your VA verifies that every page, form, and function works perfectly on the new environment before finalising the switch.
