We are seeking a Contract Mid-to-Senior WordPress Developer with expert-level Divi experience to assist with both new website builds and the optimization of our existing digital footprint.

Requirements

Responsibilities

• New Builds: Develop responsive, clean, and modern websites from scratch using WordPress, Divi, and custom child themes.
• Legacy Optimization: Audit existing Divi sites to identify bloat, fix layout conflicts, improve Core Web Vitals, and drastically decrease page load times.
• Custom Code: Write clean PHP, JavaScript, and CSS/SASS to extend Divi's native capabilities and integrate third-party APIs.
• Design to Code: Experience building responsive Divi layouts.
• Database & Security: Optimize MySQL databases, clean up legacy plugin remnants, and ensure all sites are fully secure.
