Job description

About the role We’re looking for a part-time WordPress Web Designer/Developer who’s confident building and maintaining sites using Elementor Pro. You’ll start at ~20 hours/week, with the opportunity to grow hours after a short trial period if it’s a great fit. You’ll need to be able to work from our Memphis office at least 2 days per week, so local Memphis-area candidates only

This is a hands-on role: you’ll take designs (or direction/brand guidelines) and turn them into clean, fast, responsive WordPress pages - and you’ll also be the person who can troubleshoot when something breaks.

What you’ll do

  • Build new WordPress pages and full sites using Elementor Pro (and Elementor theme builder)
  • Improve and maintain existing sites (content updates, layout adjustments, new sections/pages)
  • Ensure sites are mobile responsive, accessible, and consistent with brand standards
  • Optimize for site speed / Core Web Vitals (image compression, caching basics, page bloat cleanup)
  • Implement basic SEO best practices (titles/meta, headings, internal links, schema plugins when needed)
  • Troubleshoot plugin/theme conflicts and fix common WordPress issues
  • Coordinate with our team on tasks, timelines, and feedback rounds
  • Document handoffs and site admin info cleanly (so clients aren’t dependent on guesswork)

Requirements

Do you have experience in WordPress?, * Strong experience with WordPress + Elementor Pro (please be specific in your application)

  • Great eye for layout, spacing, typography, and conversion-focused page structure
  • Solid understanding of WordPress fundamentals: themes, plugins, hosting environments, updates
  • Comfortable with at least “light” code when needed (HTML/CSS; bonus if JS/PHP basics)
  • Familiarity with common tools/plugins (examples: WPForms/Gravity Forms, RankMath, caching, image optimization, security)
  • Reliable communication and the ability to manage tasks independently
  • Live in or near Memphis, TN and able to commute to our office at least twice weekly
  • Reliable transportation and consistent availability for in-office collaboration

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience with WooCommerce
  • Experience with Crocoblock/JetPlugins, Advanced Custom Fields, or custom post types
  • Experience migrating sites (staging * live, domain moves, hosting moves)
  • Familiarity with Figma/Adobe/Canva and translating a design into a build
  • Accessibility awareness (WCAG basics)
