How to Hire an Avada Developer (Step by Step)

By Serkan Ulas · August 7, 2026

Hiring an Avada developer is straightforward once you know what to prepare and what to look for. Avada is a capable, feature-rich theme, and the outcome depends far more on who builds with it than on the theme itself. I'm Serkan Ulas, a WordPress and Avada developer with 16 years of experience and 150+ Avada builds behind me, rated Top Rated on Upwork with 110+ five-star reviews. This guide walks through how to hire well — and how to reach me if you'd like me to take on your project. If you want to vet any developer thoroughly first, my guide on how to choose a reliable Avada developer is a useful companion.

Step by step: how to hire an Avada developer

A good hire follows a simple sequence. Work through these steps in order and the whole engagement stays predictable:

• Define your scope — list your pages, the design source, and the features you need.
• Gather your files — design files (Figma, XD, or PSD) or the Avada demo you want as a base, plus brand assets.
• Check experience and reviews — look for real Avada work and verifiable ratings.
• Agree scope and price — a defined brief should produce a fixed quote, not a moving range.
• Confirm revisions and handoff — settle how changes and post-launch support work before starting.
• Start the build — with everything agreed in writing.

What to send for an accurate quote

The quality of your quote depends on the quality of your brief. Send these five things and I can usually return a fixed price quickly:

• A page list — every page, marked unique or repeated.
• Design files or a demo choice — Figma/XD/PSD, or the prebuilt demo you want as a base.
• Feature list — forms, store, booking, multilingual, integrations.
• Content status — is final copy and imagery ready?
• Deadline — a realistic launch date.

For a sense of what different projects cost, my guide on custom Avada website cost breaks down typical ranges by project type.

Ways to work with me

You can hire me directly or through a freelance platform — both work, and the choice is about what you're most comfortable with. Here's what each option offers:

A direct hire through my website keeps communication simple and quick. Hiring through Upwork or Fiverr adds platform-level reviews and payment protection, and lets you see my full rating history before you commit.

Who I work with

I work directly with businesses building or rebuilding their websites, and I provide white-label Avada development for agencies — building under their brand while they keep the client relationship. Whether you're a business owner or an agency looking for overflow capacity, the process is the same: a defined scope, a fixed quote, and clear communication throughout. If you're an agency, my guide on white-label Avada development explains exactly how that arrangement works.

Why hire me

Here's what 16 years and 150+ Avada builds bring to your project: I build with Avada's global options and reusable elements so your site stays clean and easy to maintain, I scope carefully before quoting so the price is fixed rather than a guess, and I define revisions and handoff up front so there are no surprises. My work is backed by 110+ five-star reviews and a Top Rated status on Upwork. I speak English, Turkish, and German, and I work with clients across more than 20 countries. When you're ready, reach out through whichever channel suits you and we'll take it from there.
