Mentor
From one-on-one mentoring to leading workshops and corporate training.
Whether it’s for a team looking to optimize workflows or a development company in need of a completely new process, together, we’ll unlock potential and pave the way for success.
Group
I guide groups through collaborative sessions designed to foster workflow optimization, time management, and practical problem-solving.
My approach emphasizes quality over quantity, shared learning experiences, and actionable takeaways that empower the group’s success.
Whether it’s a team of developers or professionals seeking to enhance their expertise, or a group of beginners in a search of a career path, I create an engaging and supportive environment where growth thrives.
Company
I mentor companies by providing strategic guidance according to their unique goals and challenges. Whether optimizing workflows, enhancing team collaboration, or simplifying complexity of web development, my mentorship equips companies with practical solutions and innovative strategies.
I work closely with teams to align their efforts with business objectives, fostering efficiency and growth. By addressing both technical and operational aspects, I help companies and their WordPress development teams build stronger foundations for long-term success.
Youth
In the age of social networks and mindless trends, I strive to guide as many young minds as possible toward a meaningful and rewarding path. Through mentorship sessions at WordCamps, schools, and other educational settings, I inspire youth to embrace critical thinking and creativity while developing valuable tech skills.
My focus is on empowering them to see the potential of technology as a tool for growth and opportunity, steering them away from distractions and toward purposeful learning. By creating engaging, hands-on experiences, I aim to equip the next generation with the knowledge and confidence to build a bright future.
One-On-One
These sessions provide a unique opportunity for broader freelancer and WordPress development guidance, but as well a niche-specific questions, where I can focus entirely on the individual’s needs, whether it’s improving technical skills, navigating career decisions, or building confidence in web development.
I take pride in offering a supportive and practical approach that releaves my mentees of imposter-sydrom that we all have, and to overcome obstacles to achieve their aspirations. One-on-one mentorship allows for meaningful connections and personalized growth, ensuring each session delivers impactful results.
Founder
After spending four years as a freelancer, building websites for clients and tools to make my work more efficient and productive, I realized it was time for something bigger.
I wanted to go beyond working solo and start something where collaboration and creativity could thrive. That’s where the idea for S-Tier Dev was born-a web agency built on passion, teamwork, and a love for crafting high-quality, high-performing WordPress websites, using our tools and, now, the flagship S-Tier Framework.
From the start, I teamed up with a group of talented, like-minded experts who shared the same vision for quality work and the love for the process itself.
For us, success isn’t just about numbers or taking on every client that comes our way. We carefully choose who to work with, and not every client is a good match for us, no matter the budget!
We’re all about doing what we love, enjoying the process, and pouring our energy into projects that truly excite us. It’s this mindset that drives us to create websites that don’t just look amazing-they perform exceptionally, too.
In our very first year as an agency, we proudly completed over 40 projects, and we enjoyed working on every single one of them. Visit the S-Tier Dev and/or check some of the projects on our portfolio page.
People
Testimonials
Well-performing websites and happy clients are the best testimonials, but some clients want to express their appreciations in words.
It was a pleasure working with Zeljko. Work was completed in a timely and professional manner. Everything was clearly communicated.

Z and his team genuinely care about your project and its success. They went above and beyond to create a professional website for my clients! I will definitely be working with them again!
Travis Hedrick
Zeljko has been knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Hopefully, with another project and his assistance, I will hate my website less. : ) Thanks again for bringing the functionality back!
Jay Farrell
If you are looking for an incredibly talented WordPress developer, I highly recommend S-Tier Dev. I have had the pleasure of working with Zeljko Skipic, the owner for a number of years. Our collaboration has been nothing short of extraordinary. From Zeljko’s communication style, project management, ability to meet deadlines, and delivery very high quality custom WordPress websites he really can do it all!
Nicholas Wiley
As Zeljko was providing an estimate on another project, he noticed that my business website was down with a fatal error alert. He immediately shifted to provide me with an emergency quote to log-in and repair the plug-in conflict that had caused the outage, restoring my website within a matter of an hour. He was very professional in his communications and I appreciated his quick response so there was little downtime for potential visitors.

As part of the WordPress course we hold at the Websites Workshop school, Zeljko was a guest lecturer to represent the DIVI theme to our students.
Zeljko selflessly shared his knowledge and stayed much longer than expected in order to clarify all doubts and answer all questions.
We knew that Zeljko is top WordPress developer but he showed that he is also an excellent lecturer, ready to patiently and understandably explain every question that the course participants asked.
He was working Figma to DIVI pixel perfect on the given design and in that way showed the various possibilities of the DIVI theme, as well as the possibilities to perform the same thing in different ways.
It was a pleasure to listen Zeljko’s lectures and I look forward to future cooperation.
