Description:
Wordpress Developer - Elementor Specialist - Digital marketing agency based in Hertford
£30,000 - £45,000 + Benefits - Hybrid working
This is a well established digital marketing agency who have a strong team that you will be able to progress your career with.
They are looking for a middleweight WordPress Developer with a sharp eye for design to join their Hertford studio.
You will be the vital link between the Design and Marketing teams. Your mission is to build high-converting, "lightning-fast" websites that serve as the foundation for the SEO, PPC and GEO campaigns. While they follow a "no-code" policy where possible for efficiency, you must possess a deep proficiency in HTML and CSS to bridge the gap between Elementor's capabilities and bespoke design requirements and have the technical depth to manage server-side logic and custom data structures.
Key Responsibilities
* Performance-First Build: Develop pixel-perfect, responsive sites using Elementor Pro and Gutenberg. You must ensure every build is optimised for speed (Core Web Vitals) to support high-level marketing activity.
* Dynamic Logic: Architect complex site structures using Crocoblock (JetEngine) or ACF (Custom Post Types, Relations, and Dynamic Visibility).
* Site Migrations: Safely manage site migrations from staging to live environments, and from external platforms (Wix, Squarespace, Shopify) into WordPress.
* Reactive Troubleshooting: Act as the first line of defence for site errors, plugin conflicts, and server-side issues.
* Technical SEO Support: Implement advanced caching strategies and performance optimisations to ensure peak site velocity.
* Collaboration: Work with Designers to ensure UI feasibility and with the Marketing team to ensure tracking (GTM/GA4) and SEO structures are flawless.
Skills & Experience
* The Tech Stack: Expert-level WordPress, Elementor Pro, and the Crocoblock suite.
* Performance Knowledge: Deep understanding of caching (WP Rocket, Object Cache, etc.), CDN setup, and image optimisation.
* Design Eye: An intuitive grasp of padding, typography, and layout. You must be able to match a Figma/Adobe design exactly.
* Technical Base: Proficiency in CSS and a functional understanding of PHP.
* Platform Flex: Ability to navigate and troubleshoot existing client sites on Shopify, Wix, or Squarespace.
Office, Culture & Benefits
We believe the best creative work happens in person. You'll join a collaborative, high-energy team where your input shapes our projects from day one.
* Hardware: A high-spec MacBook Pro setup.
* Training Budget: A dedicated annual budget for professional development (courses, certifications, and tech events).
* The Environment: A professional, focused workspace in Hertford with a shared passion for growth and great design.
Sponsorship won't be able to be offered so you will need to have an independent right to work in the UK along with being within commuting distance of Hertford.
