• Utilize Custom Post Types (CPTs) and custom fields with tools such as Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or Toolset.

3. Core Development & Maintenance

• PHP, JavaScript, and jQuery Proficiency: Strong command of PHP and jQuery with the ability to troubleshoot and optimize code efficiently. Familiarity with modern frameworks such as React or Vue is a plus.

• HTML/CSS Expertise: Skilled in static coding, precise element targeting, and rapid CSS debugging for pixel-perfect design execution.

• Code Literacy: Ability to read, understand, and enhance existing codebases developed in multiple builders (e.g., DIVI, Elementor, Bricks, WP Bakery, Gutenberg) without extensive guidance.

• API Integration: Confident in integrating third‑party APIs (both familiar and new) to implement custom functionalities.

• Version Control: Experience with Git or similar tools for collaborative development.

Must-Have Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Web Development, or related field (or equivalent hands‑on experience).

• Strong portfolio showcasing directory builds, custom plugins, and WordPress integrations.

• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills

• Clean, efficient, and maintainable coding habits

• Strong attention to detail and time management

• Effective collaboration and communication skills

What Makes You Stand Out
