• Collaborate with clients to refresh existing sites or create landing pages aligned with their branding and marketing goals.
• Apply UX/UI principles to create intuitive navigation, compelling visuals, and effective calls-to-action.

• Secure all hosted sites with SSL certificates and enforce HTTPS protocols.
• Implement best practices for website hardening, malware prevention, and automated backups.
• Monitor uptime, speed, and performance metrics, making proactive improvements.

SEO & Content Optimization
• Conduct on-page SEO audits and implement improvements (meta tags, headings, URL structure, image alt text, internal linking).
• Create and optimize blog content to align with SEO strategy and keyword targets.
• Work with our marketing team to improve page speed scores, accessibility, and mobile responsiveness for SEO gains.
• Assist with SEO plugin management (e.g., Yoast, RankMath) and schema markup.

Content & Blog Management
• Write or edit blog posts for clients or internal use, ensuring SEO and branding alignment.
• Format and publish content in WordPress using best practices for readability, engagement, and conversion.

Collaboration & Documentation
• Work closely with internal teams (Sales, Support, Marketing) to execute website updates and client onboarding.
• Create documentation and training guides for customers and internal use.

What You Bring
• 3+ years experience in WordPress hosting, development, and website management.
• Strong design skills with a portfolio of WP sites you've built or maintained.
• Experience with Elementor, WPBakery, or other visual page builders.
• Solid grasp of SEO fundamentals, on-page optimization, and Google Search Console.

• Knowledge of web security, SSL certificates, backups, and performance tuning.
• Proficiency in HTML/CSS and responsive design techniques.
