Job Description

Freelance WordPress Developer (Ongoing) — Skill + Fit Matter
We’re looking for a freelance WordPress developer for ongoing work (updates, fixes, improvements) with the potential to support a bigger site rebuild later.

This role is collaborative. You’ll work closely with our internal point person day-to-day, so communication and reliability matter as much as technical skill.

Troubleshoot and fix WordPress issues (themes, plugins, layouts, conflicts)
Implement page updates and improvements cleanly and quickly
Make basic template/code edits using HTML/CSS and light PHP when needed
Maintain best practices: staging workflows, backups, update safety, basic security
Own basic hosting/uptime realities:
Monitor uptime and respond to outages
Handle DNS/SSL basics and redirects
Coordinate with hosting providers when needed
Improve performance when needed (caching, image optimization, plugin cleanup)
Document changes (quick notes + Loom walkthroughs when useful)

Strong WordPress experience (2+ years preferred)
Comfortable with basic HTML/CSS and basic PHP
Comfortable managing hosting basics and keeping sites stable/online
Clear communicator (fast responses during work blocks)
Reliable availability for ongoing work
Comfortable using a ticket board and collaborating async
Bonus: experience with common page builders and modern WP tooling

Huge bonus (marketing technology)
Experience with website marketing tech like GA4, GTM, pixels/conversion tracking, form + call tracking, CRM integrations, landing page tooling, and basic SEO hygiene.

Fit / collaboration
We’d love someone who’s around the same age as our day-to-day counterpart and shares a couple interests/hobbies — because you’ll be working together closely.

To apply (please include)
A short intro + your location/time zone
Your weekly availability + typical response time
Links to 2–3 WordPress projects + what you personally did
One “recent annoying WP problem” you solved (2–4 sentences)
Any hosting/uptime example you’ve handled (1–3 sentences)
Any marketing tech experience (GA4/GTM/pixels/CRM/etc.)
A couple interests/hobbies outside work
We’ll start with a short call and then a small paid trial task on staging.Freelance WordPress Developer (Ongoing) — Skill + Fit Matter
