Codeable

Codeable is the only major freelance platform dedicated entirely to WordPress: development, WooCommerce, plugins, themes, and migrations. Every expert passes vetting, and clients pay into escrow with a $120 minimum per project. For WordPress specialists tired of competing with $5 gigs, it offers qualified clients, fair pricing floors, and quality-focused matching.

Vetting, Matching, and Project Flow

Applying means proving genuine WordPress expertise: application review, technical testing, and a trial period. Once accepted, you see client projects and estimate on them; Codeable's system keeps estimates private so experts don't undercut each other — a deliberate anti-race-to-the-bottom design. Clients fund escrow before work starts, and a no-risk trial policy protects them, which in turn justifies premium rates. The community is small by design, so reputation compounds quickly among repeat clients and staff.

Fees, Minimums, and Getting Paid

Codeable charges a 17.5% fee, and every project carries a $120 minimum — a floor that filters out bargain hunters. The fee is higher than Upwork's 10% but buys pre-qualified WordPress clients and escrow on every job. Payouts run on a regular schedule once work is approved. Because the marketplace sets healthy rate expectations, most experts bill meaningfully above typical Fiverr or Upwork WordPress prices, which offsets the commission for established specialists.

Tips for getting hired on Codeable

• Show real WordPress depth in your application; surface knowledge fails.
• Estimate carefully and privately; accuracy builds trust with repeat clients.
• Specialize further — WooCommerce, performance, or migrations — to win estimates.
