Expected duration: Ongoing We are a boutique design and development agency based in Manchester and due to a big influx of new projects, we are looking to expand our resources and bolster our team with freelancers.
We need an experienced web developer who is reliable and is able to not just develop but also has the ability to add value to projects.
The key skills that we are looking for are:
Essential:
- High level of WordPress proficiency as this will be the main platform that the projects are being developed in.
-- You need to be able to develop from design files that may not have every aspect available and so some thinking/input will be involved.
-- We DO NOT use themes or page builders and we need a developer who can build the pages templates using Advanced Custom Fields in a way that they are highly editable.
- Good quality, well noted code is essential.
- Excellent front end development skills (if you know, you know)
Bonus:
- Good communication is important
- Optimising websites to assist with client SEO strategies.
- Working with a project management system to keep to the project schedule and billable time where applicable.
- Experience working in an Agency is helpful.
How Will It Work?
Generally speaking, we work on fixed costs as this is how we charge our clients and so we need a developer who can provide us with accurate quotes for them to complete a project, whether that be a small, ad hoc dev job or a full WordPress build.
Reliability is one of the most important things for us. If you say you have availability and you don’t, it will cause big problems so it’s better to be honest with us.
The same applies to the ability to do the work, if you say you can do something and our internal developers find that you have not been honest, it will cause issues so please don’t apply if you are not as experienced as we need.
How To Apply:
If you are going to apply, please acknowledge the points that we’ve raised and give us some indication of your experience and the set up of the relationship that we have mentioned so that we know you have read the description.
It would be helpful if you could provide us some examples of websites that you have developed using the key skills outlined in the job description.
