We are looking for an experienced WordPress developer

We are looking for an experienced WordPress developer with strong technical SEO and website performance skills to convert 17 existing websites to WordPress.

We already have the WordPress template and overall design structure. Your responsibility will be to migrate and adapt each website, ensure all content is transferred correctly and deliver fast, technically sound websites.

This is a project-based role with the possibility of ongoing WordPress, SEO and website optimisation work.

Responsibilities

• Build 17 WordPress websites using our existing template
• Transfer and format text, images, pages and other existing content

• Improve existing website text for SEO, readability and conversions
• Optimise headings, internal links, image alt text and page structure
• Improve loading speed and Core Web Vitals
• Deliver strong Google Lighthouse scores
• Test forms, links, tracking, analytics and conversion events
• Perform quality assurance before each website is launched
• Document completed work and any outstanding recommendations

Performance expectations

The websites should be built to achieve strong Google Lighthouse results under normal production conditions. Our target is approximately 90 or higher for Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices and SEO on both desktop and mobile where technically achievable.

Scores must be achieved through proper development and optimisation, not by removing important functionality or temporarily disabling scripts during testing.

Required experience

• Proven experience with multi-site or high-volume website projects
• Good understanding of technical SEO and on-page SEO
• Experience improving Google Lighthouse scores and Core Web Vitals

• Good written English and clear communication

When applying, please include

• Examples of WordPress websites you have built or migrated
• Before-and-after Lighthouse results from previous projects
• Examples of SEO improvements you have completed
• Your estimated timeline for completing all 17 websites
• Your fixed project price or expected hourly rate
