The world of WordPress is growing . . .
Yesterday, VentureBeat—a technology news website, focusing on disruptive technology—released a post advertising a position for a WordPress web developer. This is exciting news for the entire WordPress community because it’s an obvious reminder of the growth of WordPress, and its overall impact in the world of online publishing.
Additionally, it illuminates how employers are not only seeking web developers with PHP and JavaScript experience, but they’re also seeking employees who can easily navigate the WordPress landscape.
The demand for WordPress web developers isn’t entirely surprising given that over 20% of websites are powered by WordPress. Not to mention, it’s the most popular blogging system— 75,000,000 sites (and growing).
To better understand the magnitude in the demand, simply type “WordPress developers” into the search bar of any major employment-search engine, and watch the positions appear. Even jobs that aren’t WordPress specific list WordPress experience as a requirement.
As WordPress continues to expand, it’s likely that we’ll continue to see job postings like the one at VentureBeat.
