Your website is the most important sales asset your business has. It is the first place prospective customers go to form an opinion about you — and if it is slow, outdated, or broken, that opinion is formed quickly and rarely in your favour.
WorkMate Pro helps Australian businesses hire skilled, full-time offshore web developers based in the Philippines. We manage the recruitment, employment, payroll, and HR — so you get a dedicated technical professional keeping your web presence sharp, functional, and continuously improving at a fraction of the cost of a local hire or agency retainer.
An offshore web developer is a full-time remote professional who builds, maintains, and improves your business’s website and web-based systems. They work exclusively for your business, during your hours, and integrate into your existing team and workflows just like an in-house developer — without the local overhead.
Unlike engaging a web agency on a project basis — where you pay a premium for every change and wait in a queue behind other clients — a WorkMate Pro offshore web developer is dedicated to your business. They are available every day, they know your codebase and systems thoroughly, and their value compounds the longer they work with you.
Your web developer works from a professional office in the Philippines with secure infrastructure and full employment support managed by our WA-based team.
Offshore web developers are technically skilled professionals capable of handling a broad range of development and maintenance responsibilities. Common tasks include:
Whether you need someone to manage ongoing site maintenance or to build out new functionality as your business grows, an offshore web developer can be scoped to match your technical requirements and budget.
An offshore web developer delivers strong results for businesses that have an ongoing need for web support but cannot justify — or do not want — the cost and inflexibility of a local hire or agency relationship. This role is a strong fit if you are:
A business owner whose website needs regular updates, new pages, and ongoing improvements but who is currently relying on an expensive agency or waiting too long for small changes to be made.
An e-commerce business that needs continuous development support to manage product listings, promotions, platform updates, and conversion rate improvements across your online store.
A growing business that is adding new services, entering new markets, or running ongoing marketing campaigns that require frequent changes and new landing pages built quickly and correctly.
A SaaS or technology business that needs a dedicated developer maintaining and improving your web presence and supporting your marketing team with technical implementation.
A marketing manager or small team that has strong strategic and creative capability but lacks in-house technical resource to execute web changes without going through a slow and costly agency process.
A full-time web developer hired locally in Australia typically costs between $80,000 and $120,000 per year in salary — before superannuation, leave entitlements, recruitment fees, and equipment costs. Even a mid-level developer represents a significant ongoing commitment for most SMEs.
Through WorkMate Pro, businesses typically save between 50% and 70% on the total cost of employment. You get a dedicated, full-time developer with the skills your business needs without the overhead of a local hire or the unpredictability of agency billing.
All WorkMate Pro pricing is transparent and predictable. There are no recruitment fees and no surprise charges — just a clear monthly cost covering your staff member’s salary, HR, payroll, and office infrastructure.
WorkMate Pro is built specifically for Australian SMEs who want the cost benefits of offshore hiring without the risk or management complexity. For technical roles — where reliability, skill depth, and security matter — our model is designed to give you confidence from day one.
WA-based management — Our team understands Australian business requirements, digital standards, and the expectations your developer needs to meet. You are not navigating an overseas hiring platform without local support.
Professional office environment — Your web developer works from a secure, fully equipped office in the Philippines with enterprise-grade internet, proper hardware, and a professional working environment. No home office risks for a role where security and uptime matter.
Dedicated to your business only — Your developer works full-time for your business and no one else. They are not splitting their time across multiple client projects or deprioritising your work when a bigger client comes along.
Recruitment matched to your needs — We source and shortlist candidates based on your tech stack, your platform, your industry, and the specific development skills your business requires. You choose who you hire.
Payroll and HR fully managed — Contracts, salary payments, compliance, and ongoing employee management are all handled by our team. You manage the technical direction; we manage the employment.
Aligned to your hours — Your offshore web developer works your Australian business hours so they are available for briefings, deployments, and urgent fixes throughout your working day.
Most clients have a new web developer in place within a few weeks of their first conversation with us.
We start by understanding your business, your website, your tech stack, the type and volume of development work you need, and the skill level required. This is a 30-minute conversation with no obligation.
Our recruitment team identifies candidates with the right technical skills, platform experience, and professional background to match your requirements. We assess technical capability before presenting a curated shortlist for your review.
You meet the shortlisted candidates, assess their technical knowledge, and choose who you want to hire. We coordinate the interviews and support you through the selection process.
Once you have made your choice, we manage the employment contract, payroll setup, and office onboarding. Your web developer starts work ready to get into your codebase and systems.
From day one, your offshore web developer works within your existing development workflow. You manage their tasks and priorities directly using your preferred tools — GitHub, Jira, Asana, Slack, or whatever your team already uses.
Our candidates are experienced across a wide range of platforms and technologies commonly used by Australian businesses. This includes WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace, WooCommerce, Laravel, React, Vue.js, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and more. Specific platform and technology requirements are discussed during the strategy call and built into the recruitment brief.
Yes. Most of our web developer placements involve ongoing maintenance, improvements, and new feature development on existing websites rather than building from scratch. Your developer will take time to understand your codebase, your systems, and your workflows before making changes — just as any new developer would.
We recommend providing your developer with role-appropriate access to your systems — the level of access they need to do their job, and no more. Using a password manager, two-factor authentication, and version control tools like GitHub are standard practices that we can discuss during onboarding. Your developer works from a secure office environment with managed IT infrastructure.
Many of our candidates have experience with technical SEO implementation — including site speed optimisation, schema markup, XML sitemaps, and structured data. For broader SEO strategy and content, a dedicated SEO resource may be more appropriate. Specific SEO requirements can be factored into the recruitment brief.
Many of our clients start with one developer and expand their offshore technical team as their needs grow. We can support you in building out a small development team over time, with each hire going through the same structured recruitment process.
We work with you to address any performance concerns early. If a replacement is needed, we manage that process on your behalf. Our priority is making sure your website and web systems are always in capable hands.
If your website is falling behind, your development queue is too long, or you are paying too much for changes that should be quick and straightforward, an offshore web developer through WorkMate Pro is one of the most effective ways to fix that — permanently and cost-efficiently.
