• Maintenance & Optimisation: Regularly update core WordPress themes and plugins on existing client sites. Ensure websites are secure and optimised (monitor site speed, SEO basics). Troubleshoot any hosting or domain/DNS issues in coordination with our hosting provider.

• WordPress Development: 1–3 years experience creating, developing and deploying effective websites with WordPress.
• PHP & MySQL: Working knowledge of PHP to implement simple functionality. Understanding of MySQL/Database interactions with WordPress.

• Advanced WordPress Skills: Knowledge of page builders (e.g. Beaver Builder, Elementor, Divi) and custom field frameworks (e.g. Advanced Custom Fields).
• E-Commerce: Familiarity with WooCommerce (setup of online donation or shop features) or other WordPress e-commerce plugins.
• SEO & Analytics: Working SEO knowledge (meta tags, structured data) and ability to implement Google Analytics or other tracking tools.
• Design Skills: An eye for design or experience with Adobe XD/Figma. Ability to do minor graphic editing or optimize images for the web is a plus.
• DevOps/Hosting: Experience with web hosting environments, cPanel, or deploying sites. Knowledge of DNS, SSL, and CDN configuration.
