Wordpress Developer

Job Description

We're Hiring: WordPress Developer

IT By Design (ITBD) is looking for a hands-on WordPress developer who's equally comfortable inside Elementor and writing raw code — someone who builds fast, uses AI tools daily, and can turn a design file into a pixel-perfect live page.

This isn't a "drag a block, publish" role. You'll troubleshoot and extend our existing hard-coded site, ship custom HTML/CSS/JS/PHP where Elementor falls short, and use AI-assisted dev tools to move quickly without cutting corners.

What You'll Do

Build new pages/sections in WordPress/Elementor matching design intent exactly

Write & maintain custom HTML, CSS, JS, PHP

Edit and extend our existing hard-coded site without breaking it

Use AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, Bolt, Replit, etc.) to prototype and ship faster

Optimize for page speed, Core Web Vitals, mobile responsiveness

Implement technical SEO fundamentals (schema, meta, clean URLs, architecture)

Set up & troubleshoot forms/integrations/tracking (HubSpot, GA4, GTM)

Work directly with marketing & design to turn Figma files into live pages

Own site security, backups, plugin updates, performance hygiene

What You Bring

✅ 6–8 years hands-on WordPress dev experience — real Elementor + custom-code hybrid projects

✅ Strong HTML, CSS, JS, PHP — comfortable modifying someone else's code, not just building fresh

✅ Practical, current experience with AI coding tools in a real workflow

✅ Experience with complex, multi-page marketing/corporate sites (not brochure sites)

✅ Working knowledge of performance optimization and basic technical SEO

✅ Familiarity with marketing tool integrations (HubSpot, form plugins, analytics/tag managers)

✅ Sharp eye for visual detail — can match a design exactly

✅ Can work independently, own the site, and communicate clearly with a non-technical marketing team

✅ Exposure to headless WordPress or API-driven builds

Nice to Have

➕ Custom Elementor widgets or theme development

➕ Basic Webflow (or similar modern builder) knowledge

➕ B2B/SaaS marketing environment experience
