Want FULL control over WordPress builds? Deciding how to build complex sites, creating your own bespoke themes and completing the project yourself? Have a creative streak and want an input into the design and customer journey?

 

If you answered yes, you’ll definitely what to hear about this role as it offers just that!

 

We’re looking for a WordPress Developer who can sit in on kick off meetings with clients, understand what they need the site to do and how they want it to look and from there come up with a design which shows consideration for the customer journey. We’re looking for someone with basic design skills who can create a mock-up of what the final website will look like. Once the client has given the nod on this, the build then begins.

 

You’d be given autonomy when it comes to the build and handle the project yourself from end to end. The projects will vary massively, recently for example, they have done several projects for estate agents and letting agents, building WordPress sites which showcase properties and allow appointment booking. They’ve also built an eCommerce site for a textile’s retailer. Most of the projects they work on are digitisation focused, either moving clients online, building them a new website, rebuilding their existing site or creating solutions to get rid of any paper-based trails and tasks. This is what makes it different to your typical WordPress role.

 

Each build will require its own, bespoke WordPress theme, they never use a template theme.

 

Previous projects have included: eCommerce sites, client intranets, simple 5 page WordPress sites, custom CRM builds, mobile app builds, QR scanner and augmented reality projects.

 

We’re looking for experience in:

WordPress

PHP

Bespoke WordPress Themes

WooCommerce

HTML5

CSS3

JavaScript

Design Skills – Adobe CC/Photoshop

UX/UI Understanding

 

Plus points:

Chance to cross train and pick up skills in Laravel and mobile app development

Full project ownership

Flexible working

Small, super friendly team – you’ll work closely with backend devs and the SEO team

Massive variety in clients and projects

City centre location

Huge growth and progression potential – they’re growing and bringing in huge clients and projects.

 

If you’ve got a good chunk of WordPress experience and fancy stepping up and taking on challenging projects, please get in touch with your CV and portfolio/site examples straight away!
