Web Developer (WordPress) – Contract

Rate: $50–$60/hour
Location: Remote / Hybrid
Duration: Project-based (hours to be estimated post client meeting)

Overview

We’re partnering with a small, creative agency that has recently won a new client and is kicking off a full rebrand, including the build of a brand-new website. The current site is outdated, and the goal is to deliver a modern, visually engaging, and high-performing digital experience.

They’re looking for a Web Developer to build the site from scratch, translating provided creative into a clean, functional, and scalable build.

Project Scope

  • Build a brand-new website (approx. 8–12 pages) from the ground up

  • Primarily content-driven, with additional functionality including:

    • Booking page

    • Intake form

    • Mailchimp integration

  • Develop a modern, polished front-end experience (e.g., video hero on homepage, smooth interactions)

  • Ensure responsiveness, performance, and usability across devices

All creative assets will be provided, including:

  • Copy

  • Visual design

  • Photography

  • High-fidelity wireframes

Responsibilities

  • Translate high-fidelity designs into a fully functional website

  • Recommend and implement the most suitable CMS (WordPress preferred, but open to alternatives based on expertise)

  • Develop clean, scalable, and maintainable code

  • Integrate third-party tools (e.g., Mailchimp, booking tools, forms)

  • Optimize site performance, speed, and SEO fundamentals

  • Collaborate with the agency team to ensure accurate execution of the vision

  • Provide an estimate of hours and timeline following initial client discussions

Qualifications

  • Proven experience building websites from scratch (portfolio required)

  • Strong experience with WordPress (or alternative CMS with clear rationale)

  • Ability to work from high-fidelity designs with strong attention to detail

  • Experience integrating forms, booking systems, and email marketing platforms (e.g., Mailchimp)

  • Solid understanding of responsive design, performance optimization, and best practices

  • Strong communication skills and ability to work with a collaborative, fast-moving team

Nice to Have

  • Experience working with agencies or on brand/rebrand projects

  • Eye for design and UX (beyond pure development)

  • Experience implementing motion or video elements (e.g., hero video)

Additional Notes

  • Candidates will be asked to provide an estimated number of hours and timeline after meeting with the client

  • Flexibility in CMS is welcomed, but the solution should prioritize ease of use and scalability for the end client

If you’re a developer who enjoys bringing modern, design-forward websites to life and collaborating closely with creative teams, we’d love to connect.

To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory we reside on, and a way of honouring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. Land acknowledgements do not exist in a past tense, or historical context: colonialism is current and ongoing, and we need to centre reconciliation in our actions and in our work. We encourage our team, partners, and clients to learn about the lands in which they live and to work towards reconciliation.
