WordPress Frontend Developer (Elementor) — Performance-Focused

Type: Part-Time ? Full-Time Path
Compensation: Based on output + speed (not just experience)

Read This First

If you:
• stack sections until a page “looks done”
• ignore mobile until the end
• rely on Elementor defaults without thinking
• go quiet when stuck

Do not apply.

We are not looking for page builders. We are looking for frontend operators.

About Square 1 Group

We help service-based businesses scale using:
• high-converting websites
• backend systems
• automation

We don’t build websites. We build machines that generate clients.

The Role

You will take a Figma design and turn it into:
• clean
• responsive
• efficient
• production-ready

WordPress sites using Elementor.

What Actually Matters Here

We don’t care if you can “use Elementor.” We care if you can:
• build fast without breaking structure
• keep layouts clean (no duplication / no bloat)
• handle responsiveness without being told
• QA your own work before anyone sees it

Non-Negotiables

You must be able to:
• Convert Figma ? WordPress cleanly and accurately
• Build a full landing page in 4–6 hours max
• Handle mobile + tablet responsiveness properly
• Use reusable components (not copy/paste everything)
• Communicate when blocked (no silence)

Must-Have Skills
• Strong WordPress + Elementor experience
• Understanding of layout structure (not just visuals)
• Experience with Custom Post Types (CPTs)
• Ability to debug:
• layout issues
• plugin conflicts
• responsiveness bugs

Bonus (Signals You’re Actually Good)
• You think about page speed and DOM size
• You reduce unnecessary sections / containers
• You know when NOT to use Elementor features
• You’ve optimized sites before (images, scripts, etc.)

Responsibilities
• Build pages from Figma designs
• Ensure responsiveness across all devices
• Use clean structure + reusable elements
• QA your own work before submission
• Fix issues proactively (don’t wait to be told)
• Communicate early if blocked

Speed Standard

We move fast. If a simple landing page takes you:
• 8–10+ hours ? this role is not for you
• 4–6 hours ? you’re in the right range
