Part-Time WordPress & PHP Developer (Office-Based)

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on Web Developer who lives and breathes PHP and WordPress to join us on a part-time basis. If you enjoy building polished websites, solving real problems with clean code, and want flexibility without the full-time grind — this role is for you.

You'll work on live projects from our office, ship improvements that users actually notice, and have direct ownership of what you build.

What You'll Do

• Write clean, efficient PHP that's easy for the next developer to pick up
• Build and maintain WordPress sites, including custom themes and plugins (not just installing pre-built ones)
• Create responsive front-ends using HTML5, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap 5.3
• Design and optimize MySQL databases — queries that don't slow the site down at scale
• Debug, troubleshoot, and improve existing code (yes, including the messy stuff)
• Keep performance, security, and scalability front of mind
• Collaborate in-person with designers, PMs, and other developers

What You Bring

Must-have:

• Solid PHP skills — you can read, write, and refactor confidently
• Strong, demonstrable WordPress development experience (custom work, not just page-builders)
• HTML5, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap 5.3
• MySQL — comfortable with schema design and writing efficient queries
• Git or similar version control
• 3+ years hands-on web development

Nice to have:

• API integration experience (REST, third-party services)
• SEO fundamentals
• Web security best practices (sanitization, auth, common vulnerabilities)

Why This Role Works for You

• Flexible part-time hours — work a schedule that suits you
• Office-based — collaborate face-to-face, learn from the team, no isolation
• Real ownership — your code goes live, your decisions matter
• Variety — no two projects look the same
• Great fit if you're a developer with a day job wanting side income, a student or recent grad building experience, or a returning professional easing back in

• Links to 2–3 PHP or WordPress projects you've built (live URLs or GitHub)
