Front-End WordPress Developer
About the Role
This is a hands-on, production-focused front-end role, with server-side PHP work when needed - going beyond simple site builds and UI components. You'll work in WordPress day-to-day, handling front-end changes across multiple client websites and stepping into theme edits and CSS customizations when needed.
Most of the work lives in WordPress, primarily on client sites using Elementor (and similar page builders such as Divi or Beaver Builder), with occasional front-end support on other platforms. You should be efficient inside page builders, but also know when to solve a problem with custom CSS, HTML, JavaScript, and/or PHP instead of forcing everything through the builder UI.
The best fit is someone who can take a ticket, ask smart clarifying questions, make the change cleanly, test their own work, and move on to the next client task without a lot of hand-holding - comfortable jumping between several websites in the same week while maintaining quality under normal agency deadlines.
