Wordpress Development Genius Needed

I am looking for a Wordpress developer who really know their stuff. We are a small agency but we have a lot of internal and external projects. There are more than enough sites that need to be built and customize. There are a few requirements that will be crucial to making sure you are a good fit for this role.

All sites will be built with Elementor (Pro) and (occasionally) Gutenberg. I do not use WP Bakery / Visual Composer, Divi, Avada, Enfold, or any of the other pre-packaged themes that are out there. If you aren’t an expert with Elementor, do not apply. Just to see if you are reading this posting completely when you apply, make the title of the email "Blue". If you don’t do this, I will know that you don’t pay attention to details and will not be considered at all for the job. Also, I am looking to build my team in the Philippines. If you are not located in the Philippines, please do not apply.

You must know PHP at an expert level. I will need custom work developed, custom plugins made, and layouts created in order to have the best functionality.

Javascript/jquery (or any script variant) should be very natural to you. I know Wordpress uses a lot of it, so we need to manually manipulate it to work to our advantage.

You should know CSS at a very high level as well.

Please understand how to use MySQL or MariaDB. If there are custom work that needs to be done, I want to ensure there is no excessive database load. I can always create another space for a DB, but I need you to know when that needs to happen.

The ability to design clean sites is a bonus, but often there will be a style that you will be given to design to. I would like someone who understands how to make clean design if there are changes that should not have to wait for the designer.
I would like you to rate the following as your expertise in your email. This is on a 1-10 scale (10 being the best)

PHP –
CSS –
JS –
HTML –
Design -
Attention to Detail -

Please note, I have hired on this platform before and have found some great people. This is for full time and long term work. The pay will be $750 USD per month, all work is tracked.

If you are interested in this position, please reply with your skills and a few example sites you have built. There is also a test to see if you know your stuff. This is an unpaid test and you will simply be recreating a page from a current design to see your speed and design. If you can make any SEO or page/site/speed improvement recommendations, that will put you at the top of the list.

I would prefer it if you worked on California time, Monday through Friday, from 8:30am-5pm. I pay twice a month, typically via Wise, on the 1st and 16th of the month. The Pay on the 16th covers the time from the 1st-15th, and the pay on the 1st covers the pay from the 16th-End of month. All time tracking is based on the California Time.

If you are interested in the position and have read the entire post, please email me directly at Upgrade to see actual info to get started. Do not use the Online jobs system (messaging), as I don't read those messages, and they cost you credits.
