About the Role

Our Edmonton-based client is looking for a WordPress Developer to support the launch of their new website. This is a short-term, fully onsite contract focused on migrating and enhancing website content while ensuring a polished, user-friendly final product. This role goes beyond simply transferring content. We're looking for someone with a strong eye for web design, user experience, and website best practices who can identify opportunities to improve navigation, page layouts, content organization, and overall usability throughout the project.

Responsibilities

Migrate website content from an existing WordPress site into a new custom page builder (similar to Visual Composer). Build and format new web pages while maintaining consistency across the site. Optimize and resize images for web performance. Ensure all content is accurate, responsive, and ready for launch across desktop and mobile devices. Review pages for quality assurance, consistency, and functionality. Identify opportunities to improve website navigation, page layouts, user experience, and content organization. Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure website content aligns with branding and business objectives. Act as a second set of eyes throughout the website launch, providing recommendations rather than simply replicating existing content. Troubleshoot formatting and layout issues as they arise.

Qualifications

Experience developing and maintaining WordPress websites. Experience working with page builders, preferably Visual Composer or similar custom page builders. Strong understanding of responsive web design principles. Experience formatting web content, images, and page layouts. Knowledge of website usability, UX/UI best practices, and information architecture. Strong attention to detail with excellent proofreading and quality assurance skills. Ability to work independently in a fast-paced project environment. Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Nice to Have

Basic HTML and CSS knowledge. Experience with SEO best practices for on-page content. Experience supporting website launches or large-scale content migrations.
