• Ensure cross-browser and mobile responsiveness for all websites.
  

• Manage backups, site migrations, and hosting configurations as needed.
  

• Stay updated with WordPress trends, updates, and best practices.
  

• There may be one off situations where the client would need them to be on a call with a client but that would be known ahead of time.
  

Requirements

• Proven experience building custom WordPress websites from the ground up.
  

• Strong knowledge of HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript.
  

• Experience working with page builders (e.g., Elementor, WPBakery, Gutenberg).
  

• Familiarity with SEO best practices and optimization tools.
  

• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines with minimal supervision.
  

• Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
  

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  

• Ability to work independently and proactively.

• Experience working with clients or cross-functional teams is preferred.
  

• This role is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, proactive, and can work independently while meeting deadlines.
