WordPress Web Developer

Job Description

The Job:

This is a hands on development role for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving existing websites and working as part of a broader creative and digital team. While the role will include new development, its primary focus is supporting, maintaining and extending the agency’s established portfolio of client websites, including continued custom development of its internally developed WordPress theme. You’ll work across updates, enhancements, troubleshooting, testing, deployment and ongoing improvement, helping ensure each site remains functional, secure and performing as intended.

The role calls for more than technical capability alone. You’ll work closely with designers, digital marketers, project and client support team members, contributing ideas, communicating progress and helping to resolve issues before they become roadblocks. You’ll also be willing to learn the agency’s systems and work within its established development procedures, recognising the importance of consistency and shared ways of working across a busy client portfolio.

You’ll care about clean, responsive development, sound user experience, reliable functionality and the small details that keep a website working well beyond its initial launch. You’ll also bring a practical working knowledge of Git and version control and be comfortable contributing to deployment, security monitoring and client training. While you’ll need an understanding of hosting environments, responsibility for managing the agency’s hosting infrastructure or DNS will sit elsewhere.

Key areas of involvement will include:

• Supporting, maintaining and enhancing WordPress websites across an established client portfolio
• Continuing the custom development of the agency’s internally developed WordPress theme
• Completing website updates, bug fixes, technical troubleshooting and functional improvements
• Developing responsive WordPress websites and new functionality from approved designs, wireframes and project briefs
• Building and configuring pages, templates, custom post types, forms, plugins and integrations
• Using PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript to customise and extend website functionality
• Working confidently with Git and version control across common tasks including commits, branches, pulls and pushes
• Testing websites across devices and browsers, identifying issues and completing quality assurance before deployment
• Supporting website deployment, security monitoring and ongoing performance
• Improving website usability, accessibility and technical foundations
• Working within the agency’s established development processes and procedures
• Collaborating with design, digital marketing and project delivery team members to keep work moving
• Engaging directly with clients where appropriate to clarify needs, explain solutions and provide handover or training
