WordPress Developer resume that gets past ATS
WordPress Developer pay in India splits agency volume (lower base) vs WooCommerce D2C (higher for performance and checkout reliability). Typical range 3–12 LPA — honest plugin/theme depth matters more than '10 years WP'.

ATS tips for WordPress Developer
