We are looking for someone who is passionate about web development to join our team, with experience building websites , ideally in WordPress – either as part of an agency or under their own steam.
If you know you can build fantastic websites, write clean, beautiful code and can work well in a team then keep reading.
We are looking for a friendly, talented web developer to help us build new sites and maintain our existing ones. You will join our team of 6 (designers, developers and administrators) and share responsibility for all aspects of devising, building and maintaining websites for our clients. From complete site builds to configuring hosting environments, we want someone who is interested in making beautiful things that work. You will have proven experience in building sites, whether at an agency, in-house or as an independent.
Most of our sites are built in WordPress – because it’s great. We know, we’ve seen rubbish WordPress sites too – that’s not what we do. We build bespoke themes from scratch, use plugins only when trusted or necessary and have developed our build processes to make sites that are as efficient to work on as they are to load. WordPress is a great CMS, but not without its faults – like any tech stack, so we’re also always looking at new technologies, front-end frameworks and CMS’ we can incorporate into our workflows and builds.
This is a job for a developer who will be working in code to build bespoke themes, not dragging and dropping with a theme builder (Divi and Elementor, we’re looking at you). Maybe you use these tools now and have the skills to leave them behind, or maybe you are a Gutenberg native… if you’re interested and adept we want to hear from you.
You’ll be writing SASS, HTML, Javascript and PHP, as well as helping us decide our tech stack of the future
This role is available to anyone who has had any experience building websites. We value talent as much as experience, so we are open to people at any point in their career, as long as they have had some experience with building things for other people.
