Advanced, data-driven SEO techniques provide a competitive edge, delivering noticeable improvements in search rankings within weeks.
Role Overview: We’re seeking a skilled and detail-oriented WordPress Developer who can efficiently build pixel-perfect websites from professional designs. The ideal candidate should have a strong understanding of front-end and back-end development, along with a bit of high-level thinking and creativity to suggest workarounds and solutions when needed.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop, customize, and maintain WordPress websites with a strong focus on performance, responsiveness, and accuracy to design specifications.
- Translate Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Figma design files into fully functional, pixel-perfect WordPress sites.
- Offer creative development solutions and technical suggestions to support the design team.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to performance, security, and functionality.
- Optimize website speed and performance through best coding practices and efficient asset management.
- Work with various WordPress themes and page builders (e.g., Elementor, WPBakery, Gutenberg) as needed.
- Implement custom WordPress themes and plugins as required.
- Conduct website testing, debugging, and ongoing maintenance to ensure high-quality performance.
- Occasionally handle non-development tasks such as file organization, research, and basic administrative support when developer workload is low.
Qualifications:
- 3+ years of experience in WordPress development, including theme and plugin customization.
- Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL.
- Strong understanding of website performance optimization and SEO best practices.
- Experience with Git version control, hosting environments, and domain management.
- Familiarity with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Figma to translate designs into functional websites.
- Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to provide creative development solutions.
- Ability to work independently while collaborating with design and marketing teams.
- Excellent attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality work.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to assist with occasional personal assistant tasks when needed.
- Shopify experience is a plus but not essential.
