## Description

4. You build the whole thing in WordPress using Bricks Builder and make it work flawlessly on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

You are not decorating a template. You are designing something original for that specific business, then building it yourself so nothing gets lost in translation.

Alongside new builds, you keep existing client sites fast, secure, and stable.

RESPONSIBILITIES

 1. Original Design - the part we care most about

 - Create original website designs from scratch for each client, based on their brand, industry, audience, and inspiration references.

 - Make real design decisions: layout, hierarchy, typography, color application, spacing, imagery direction, and interaction.

 - Treat inspiration references as direction, not as something to copy. Clients should get something that feels made for them.

 - Design custom assets as needed - icons, graphics, banners, illustrations, section visuals - in Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, or your tool of choice.

 - Present and explain your design decisions clearly to the internal team and, when needed, to the client.

 2. Build - WordPress and Bricks Builder

 - Build every design you create in WordPress using Bricks Builder, at an expert level.

 - Translate approved strategy and copy into clean, conversion-focused layouts that hold up on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

 - Rebuild sites made in other builders and migrate them to Bricks.

 - Create and manage staging and testing environments for new sites and major updates.

 - Keep builds clean, organized, reusable, and easy for the next person to work in.

 3. Maintenance and Optimization

 - Update and maintain existing client WordPress and Bricks sites.

 - Manage plugins responsibly: updates, replacements, and removal of outdated or broken plugins.

 - Audit sites for technical issues - broken forms, bad code, outdated plugins, performance problems.

 - Hold the line on site speed, security, backups, and overall stability.

 4. Hosting, Migrations, and Launches

 - Move WordPress sites between hosting providers safely and correctly.

 - Work confidently with hosting environments and basic server considerations.

 - Connect domains, manage DNS changes, and run smooth site launches.

 5. Integrations and Tracking

 - Integrate WordPress sites with third-party tools using platforms like Zapier.

 - Set up and manage Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

 - Make sure every form and lead capture tool is properly connected and tested.

 6. Communication and Collaboration

 - Communicate clearly and proactively with the internal team.

 - Ask smart questions when something is unclear instead of guessing.

 - Give realistic timelines and honest progress updates.

 - Take feedback well and use it to make the final product better.
