We are an established sign and graphics company based in Brooklyn, NY, serving NYC, Long Island, and parts of New Jersey.
We are looking for an experienced WordPress developer/web strategist to work closely with us to build a large, professional, SEO-focused website.
This is NOT a basic 5–10 page website.
Our goal is to build a high-content website with many service, product, industry, location, portfolio, and informational pages while keeping the website easy to manage and expand.
Reference Website
Please study:
This is an important reference for the type of website structure and content depth we want.
We DO NOT want to copy their website, design, branding, or written content.
We want to build our own stronger, modern website using their website as a reference for:
Website depth
Service page structure
Product categories
SEO architecture
Location pages
Industry pages
Internal linking
Portfolio/project organization
Content strategy
Our website should ultimately contain a large amount of useful content while remaining organized, fast, modern, and easy to maintain.

We serve businesses throughout NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Long Island, and surrounding areas.
What We Need
We want someone who can help us architect and build the entire website, not someone who needs us to provide every page and instruction.
You should be able to look at the reference website, understand our business, and help determine the best way to structure our site.
Website Architecture
We expect categories such as:
Signs
Printing & Graphics
Vehicle Graphics
Services
Industries
Locations
Portfolio / Projects
Blog / Resources
We eventually expect the website to grow to 100–300+ quality pages.
The website needs to be designed so this amount of content is manageable.
Dynamic WordPress System
We strongly prefer a system using technologies such as:
WordPress
Bricks Builder, Elementor, Gutenberg, or similar
Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)
Custom Post Types
Dynamic templates
Reusable components
Global styles
Structured content fields
We DO NOT want 200 individually designed pages that become impossible to maintain.
For example, one Service Page template should be capable of powering many different sign-service pages while allowing unique content, photos, FAQs, specifications, galleries, and SEO information for every service.
The same concept should apply to:
Locations
Industries
Projects
Products
Materials
Portfolio / Project Database
This is especially important.
We have a large amount of real completed sign work.
We want to upload a completed project once and categorize it by things such as:
Sign Type
Industry
Location
Material
Illumination Type
Service
That project should then automatically appear on relevant pages throughout the website.
For example, a Brooklyn restaurant channel-letter project could automatically appear under:
Channel Letters
Restaurant Signs
Brooklyn Signs
Illuminated Signs
Portfolio
without manually uploading the project five times.
AI EXPERIENCE IS IMPORTANT
We want someone who understands how modern AI tools can make managing a large website easier.
We would like to create workflows where we provide basic information about a project or service and AI can assist with:
Initial page drafts
Project descriptions
FAQs
Image alt text
SEO titles
Meta descriptions
Internal linking suggestions
Schema
Content briefs
Blog drafts
Human review will still be required.
We are NOT looking to mass-publish low-quality AI pages.
We want AI to make producing quality content faster.
SEO EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED
You should understand:
Technical SEO
Local SEO
Service-area SEO
Internal linking
Website silos
Schema markup
Google Search Console
XML sitemaps
Canonicals
Breadcrumbs
Page speed / Core Web Vitals
Image optimization
Location-page strategy
Service-page strategy
Avoiding duplicate/thin AI content
Experience building websites for local service businesses is highly preferred.
Experience with contractors, signage, construction, home services, printing, manufacturing, or similar businesses is a major plus.
Performance
A large website cannot become slow because of excessive plugins.
You should understand:
Caching
CDN
WebP / AVIF
Image compression
Lazy loading
Database optimization
Clean WordPress architecture
Core Web Vitals
Collaboration
The owner will be involved with:
Business knowledge
Photos
Completed projects
Products/services
Pricing knowledge
Competitor/reference websites
Final approvals
However, the developer should be able to lead the technical project.
We need someone who can say:
"This is how I recommend structuring it."
rather than constantly asking us:
"What do you want me to do next?"
You should be comfortable collaborating with us and using AI tools such as ChatGPT/Claude where appropriate during development.
Initial Project
The first phase will likely include:
Competitor/reference-site analysis
Complete sitemap
SEO architecture
WordPress architecture
Design system
Homepage
Main service templates
Location template
Industry template
Project/portfolio system
Blog/resource system
Quote/contact system
Initial core pages
Mobile optimization
Technical SEO
Analytics/Search Console
Performance optimization
Launch
After the initial website is completed, there may be ongoing work expanding the content library.
IMPORTANT WHEN APPLYING
Please do NOT send a generic proposal.
Start your response with:
EPIC SIGNS
Then answer these questions:
Send 3 websites you personally built that are closest to this project.
Have you built a WordPress website with 100+ pages?
Have you used Custom Post Types and Advanced Custom Fields?
How would you structure a site like
What AI tools/workflows would you use to help us create and manage content?
Describe your experience with local SEO.
Would you recommend Bricks, Elementor, Gutenberg, or another WordPress stack for this project, and why?
How would you structure our portfolio so one project can automatically appear across relevant service, industry, and location pages?
What would you do differently or better than the reference website?
Are you personally completing the work, or will it be outsourced to another developer/team?
Give us an estimated project timeline and budget range based on the description above.
We are looking for someone interested in becoming a long-term technical partner, not simply completing a template website and disappearing.
Please only apply if you have completed comparable large WordPress projects and can show them.
