About Us
WellFound Marketing is a U.S.-based digital marketing agency serving clients in the water, wastewater, industrial, and healthcare sectors.
We’re looking for an experienced, reliable WordPress developer to work with our team on an ongoing basis. This is not a one-time project. We need someone who can become a trusted technical resource for our agency, supporting multiple client websites and handling everything from routine troubleshooting to more complex development projects.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Maintain, troubleshoot, and improve existing WordPress websites.
- Work extensively with WordPress themes and page builders, particularly Divi and Salient.
- Diagnose and resolve plugin conflicts, theme compatibility issues, and PHP-related errors.
- Handle WordPress theme upgrades, migrations, and compatibility testing.
- Build and modify landing pages, website sections, and custom functionality.
- Troubleshoot responsive design, layout, and mobile display issues.
- Work with Gravity Forms, tracking integrations, and third-party plugins.
- Make performance improvements and troubleshoot technical issues.
- Implement changes safely using staging environments, backups, and testing.
- Provide technical recommendations when issues require more than a straightforward fix.
What We’re Looking For
Required:
- At least five years of professional WordPress development experience.
- Strong PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and MySQL skills.
- Experience customizing and troubleshooting existing WordPress websites, not just building new sites.
- Significant experience with Divi and other premium WordPress themes.
- Ability to diagnose complicated issues involving older themes, plugins, and custom code.
- Familiarity with hosting environments, DNS, Cloudflare, and website migrations.
- Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
- Strong written English communication.
- Dependability, responsiveness, and the ability to provide realistic estimates and timelines.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with the Salient theme.
- Experience with WPML and multilingual websites.
- Familiarity with Gravity Forms, Zapier, GA4, Google Tag Manager, and conversion tracking.
- Experience supporting multiple websites for a marketing agency.
- Familiarity with website accessibility and technical SEO.
How We Work
Our team manages client relationships, content, SEO, and overall project coordination. You’ll work directly with our director on technical requests.
We use Asana to manage work and expect clear communication regarding project status, estimated hours, and completion timelines.
We value developers who can work independently, identify potential problems before they become larger issues, and explain technical matters in straightforward language.
We understand that unexpected issues arise during development. What matters is communicating those issues proactively and working together to find solutions.
Hours and Availability
We anticipate up to 10 hours per week initially, with the potential for more work depending on project needs. We’d prefer to develop a long-term relationship with one primary developer rather than hire different freelancers for each task.
Some availability during U.S. Central Time business hours is important for communication and occasional urgent requests.
How to Apply
Please include:
- A brief summary of your WordPress development experience, particularly with existing or legacy websites.
- Your experience with Divi, Salient, and custom WordPress development.
- Two or three examples of websites you’ve worked on, explaining your specific role.
- Your hourly rate.
- Your weekly availability and typical working hours, including any overlap with U.S. Central Time.
- Your experience supporting marketing agencies or multiple client websites.
- How you typically approach project estimates, unexpected complications, and client deadlines.
We’re looking for someone who is interested in becoming a valued, long-term member of our extended team.
