Wordpress Developer

About the Role

Our Edmonton-based client is looking for a WordPress Developer to support the launch of their new website. This is a short-term, fully onsite contract focused on migrating and enhancing website content while ensuring a polished, user-friendly final product.

This role goes beyond simply transferring content. We're looking for someone with a strong eye for web design, user experience, and website best practices who can identify opportunities to improve navigation, page layouts, content organization, and overall usability throughout the project.

Responsibilities

• Migrate website content from an existing WordPress site into a new custom page builder (similar to Visual Composer).
• Build and format new web pages while maintaining consistency across the site.
• Optimize and resize images for web performance.
• Ensure all content is accurate, responsive, and ready for launch across desktop and mobile devices.
• Review pages for quality assurance, consistency, and functionality.
• Identify opportunities to improve website navigation, page layouts, user experience, and content organization.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure website content aligns with branding and business objectives.
• Act as a second set of eyes throughout the website launch, providing recommendations rather than simply replicating existing content.
• Troubleshoot formatting and layout issues as they arise.

Qualifications

• Experience developing and maintaining WordPress websites.
• Experience working with page builders, preferably Visual Composer or similar custom page builders.
• Strong understanding of responsive web design principles.
• Experience formatting web content, images, and page layouts.
• Knowledge of website usability, UX/UI best practices, and information architecture.
• Strong attention to detail with excellent proofreading and quality assurance skills.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced project environment.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Nice to Have

• Basic HTML and CSS knowledge.
• Experience with SEO best practices for on-page content.
• Experience supporting website launches or large-scale content migrations.
