Freelance WordPress Developer (Contract Project)
We’re looking for a freelance WordPress developer to support a one-time website project—with the potential for ongoing work if it’s a good fit.
About the Project
We currently have a custom-built WordPress site that relies heavily on developer support. Our goal is to transition away from custom-coded functionality and move to a more flexible, user-friendly page builder so our internal team can easily manage and update the site moving forward.
This project will involve evaluating the existing site, simplifying the backend, and rebuilding key pages using a builder-based approach.
What You’ll Do
Audit our current custom WordPress setup
Recommend a streamlined approach using a page builder (e.g., Elementor, WPBakery, Gutenberg, etc.)
Rebuild or migrate existing pages into a builder-based format
Reduce reliance on custom code where possible
Ensure the site remains functional, responsive, and SEO-friendly during the transition
Provide light documentation or guidance so our team can confidently manage the site post-project
What We’re Looking For
Strong experience with WordPress development (both custom and builder-based)
Familiarity with popular page builders (Elementor, Gutenberg, etc.)
Ability to work within (and clean up) an existing custom codebase
Experience improving usability for non-technical teams
Good communication and ability to explain technical decisions in plain language
Bonus: experience with performance optimization and SEO best practices
Project Details
Type: Contract / Freelance
Timeline: Flexible (we’re open to your input on scope and timing)
Compensation: Open/negotiable — we’re looking for estimates or hourly/project-based proposals based on your assessment
Location: Remote preferred
Potential for Ongoing Work
If this project goes well, we may have additional opportunities for ongoing support, updates, and future site improvements.
