I’m seeking a skilled WordPress developer for occasional maintenance and support of an existing custom-coded website. The site is stable and well-built, but I need a reliable professional I can reach out to periodically for minor updates, optimizations, and troubleshooting.
This is not a full-time or ongoing contract—think of it as an on-call arrangement for small tasks as they arise.
Responsibilities:
∙ Perform routine maintenance and debugging on a custom WordPress site
∙ Implement minor updates to content, layout, or functionality
∙ Optimize performance and ensure cross-browser/device compatibility
∙ Troubleshoot occasional plugin or theme conflicts
∙ Provide clear communication and quick turnaround on small tasks
Requirements:
∙ 3+ years of WordPress development experience
∙ Strong proficiency in PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
∙ Experience building or maintaining custom WordPress themes and plugins
∙ Familiarity with version control (Git) and staging environments
∙ Dependable communication and availability for periodic work
Preferred:
∙ Experience with performance optimization, security best practices, and basic SEO
∙ U.S.-based or U.S. timezone availability (for easier coordination)
To Apply:
Please include:
1. A brief overview of your WordPress experience
2. 2–3 examples of WordPress sites you’ve maintained or built (especially custom work)
3. Your hourly rate and typical response time for small requests
