• Integrating third‑party tools, APIs and e-commerce functionality
• Diagnosing issues and providing ongoing technical support

• Commercial experience with WordPress development
• Strong PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and database knowledge
• Experience with page builders (Elementor preferred)
• WooCommerce and SEO best‑practice awareness
• A proactive, detail‑oriented mindset

Nice to have: Git, REST APIs, headless WordPress, security practices, Agile exposure or generative engine optimization.
