Job Description

WebDrafter.com is seeking a dependable Web Designer/Developer & Technical Specialist to build, maintain, and troubleshoot responsive client websites in a WordPress-focused environment.

Responsibilities

Build, update, and maintain responsive websites for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Work extensively in WordPress, including Gutenberg/blocks and Elementor / Elementor Pro.
Translate designs and project instructions into accurate, polished layouts.
Customize and troubleshoot existing sites, including themes, plugins, forms, and integrations.

Support eCommerce, forms, third-party integrations, and specialized website functionality.
Improve speed, usability, accessibility, and basic technical SEO.
Handle hosting-related troubleshooting and tasks, including cPanel/WHM, migrations, backups, SSL, DNS, redirects, and website/email issues.
Test changes and communicate progress, questions, problems, and completed updates clearly.

Requirements

2+ years of experience building responsive websites.
Strong HTML and CSS with hands-on responsive website experience.
Solid WordPress experience, including Gutenberg/WordPress blocks and Elementor (or similar builders).
Working knowledge of JavaScript and PHP, with ability to understand and modify existing code.
Experience troubleshooting websites, not only creating new pages.
Familiarity with WordPress themes, plugins, forms, updates, and common compatibility issues.
Basic knowledge of hosting, domains, DNS, SSL, SMTP, and website email delivery.
Good production habits: backups, staging, testing, and documentation.
Strong visual standards, including typography, spacing, responsive behavior, and usability.
Ability to manage multiple client projects, follow direction, meet deadlines, and work independently.
