We’re looking for a WordPress Developer who can build stunning, high-performance websites that look as good as they function.
The ideal candidate will have a strong command of custom WordPress theme and plugin development, as well as front-end design using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern page builders like Elementor or Gutenberg.
This project focuses on building a business-focused, SEO-optimized website with fast loading times, responsive UI, and scalable backend structure. You’ll also handle integrations — including contact forms, payment gateways, analytics tools, and security systems.
We value developers who go beyond drag-and-drop — those who understand code structure, performance optimization, and user experience fundamentals.
This is a 2–3 month project, with potential for ongoing maintenance once the site is launched.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and customize WordPress themes and child themes.
Create responsive, mobile-friendly layouts using HTML5, CSS3, and Bootstrap.
Build custom plugins or extend existing ones as needed.
Integrate APIs, payment gateways (Razorpay, PayPal, Stripe), and contact forms.
Set up WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality if required.
Optimize performance for speed and SEO (minification, caching, lazy loading).
Configure on-page SEO using Yoast or Rank Math.
Maintain security best practices (SSL, firewalls, malware scans).
Implement analytics tracking (Google Analytics, Tag Manager).
Set up staging and production environments for testing.
Troubleshoot theme or plugin conflicts.
Collaborate with designers and content teams for layout precision.
Manage hosting and domain setup on cPanel or Hostinger.
Perform backups and version control using Git.
Provide post-launch maintenance and revisions.
Required Skills
3+ years of WordPress development experience.
Strong knowledge of PHP, MySQL, and WordPress Codex.
Experience with custom themes, hooks, and shortcodes.
Front-end skills in HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery.
Experience with Elementor, Gutenberg, Divi, or similar page builders.
Understanding of WooCommerce setup and customization.
Familiarity with REST API and AJAX integration.
Version control (Git / GitHub).
SEO and page performance optimization skills.
Familiarity with cPanel / Hostinger / Cloudways environments.
Strong knowledge of security and backup plugins (Wordfence, UpdraftPlus).

Good communication and project management skills.
