WordPress Designer (with Front-End Dev Skills) — 30-Hour Project + Ongoing Work
We’re hiring a WordPress designer with strong visual instincts and front-end development capabilities to help us build scalable, reusable page templates for our site’s cornerstone pages. This is a 30-hour project spread over 3 weeks, with the potential for continued work in AI-driven content publishing and business inclusion research for the right candidate.
The site is new, but it’s owned by marketing agency professionals who’ve built and optimized many WordPress sites before. We know what good looks like—and we’re looking for someone who can help us build a clean, flexible visual system that scales.
We’re looking for someone who can bring visual clarity, scalability, and front-end finesse to our cornerstone pages—and potentially grow with us into broader content and research roles. If that’s you, let’s talk.
Project Scope
This is a design-first role, but front-end development skills are a major advantage. You’ll be working on a WordPress site built with:
- Astra Theme
- Spectra (formerly Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg)
- Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)
Your tasks will include:
- Creating reusable page templates for cornerstone content that can be replicated across the site
- Optimizing imagery for performance and responsiveness
- Grouping templates for streamlined content management
- Implementing front-end best practices for speed, UX, and maintainability
Time Commitment
- Total project time: 30 hours
- Pacing: ~10 hours/week (1–2 hours/day)
- Schedule: Flexible days and times
Requirements
- Strong WordPress design experience (not just development)
- Portfolio pieces that show visual design work using Astra, Spectra, and ACF
- Ability to implement front-end changes (HTML/CSS/JS) as needed
- Understanding of responsive design and performance optimization
- Ability to work independently with minimal instruction and proactively find solutions
- Clear communication and ability to work autonomously
Experience with Astra, Spectra, and ACF is highly preferable. Candidates who can speak to and show their work with these tools will be prioritized.
Bonus Skills
- Experience with SEO is a plus (not essential)
- Familiarity with Google Search Console (GSC) and Ahrefs—please outline your experience
How to Apply
Please include the following in your application:
- The sentence “flamingos are bad drivers” at the beginning of your message
- Your hourly rate
- Links to WordPress design portfolio pieces, especially those using Astra, Spectra, or ACF
- A short summary of your experience with Astra, Spectra, and ACF
- Your experience (if any) with GSC and Ahrefs
- Your interest in ongoing work beyond design—such as general VA support as we build an SEO-focused site
We will be shortlisting the top 5 candidates based on portfolio strength, tool familiarity, and communication.
