What is a WordPress Designer Developer?

A WordPress Designer Developer is a professional who specializes in creating, designing, and developing websites using the WordPress content management system. They handle both the visual design aspects—such as layout, color schemes, and user experience—and the technical development tasks, including theme customization, plugin integration, and site optimization. These professionals ensure that websites are visually appealing, functional, responsive, and easy to manage. WordPress Designer Developers often collaborate with clients to understand their needs and turn them into fully functional websites that are secure and scalable.

How does a WordPress Designer Developer typically collaborate with content creators and marketing teams?

WordPress Designer Developers often work closely with content creators and marketing teams to ensure that website layouts, themes, and functionalities align with brand messaging and campaign objectives. This collaboration includes regular meetings to gather requirements, reviewing content placement, and making iterative design adjustments based on feedback. Effective communication is key, as developers must translate creative ideas into user-friendly, visually appealing, and technically sound website solutions. Additionally, they may assist with training team members on updating site content and troubleshooting basic issues.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a WordPress Designer Developer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a WordPress Designer Developer, you need proficiency in HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and a solid understanding of WordPress themes and plugins, often supported by a relevant degree or web development certifications. Familiarity with popular page builders (like Elementor or WPBakery), Git version control, and design tools such as Adobe XD or Figma is typically required. Creativity, problem-solving, and effective communication help you collaborate with clients and teams while delivering user-friendly, visually appealing websites. These skills and qualities are crucial for building functional, attractive, and scalable WordPress sites that meet client needs and industry standards.

Job description

Junior WordPress Developer (Elementor)
Location: Austin, TX (Hybrid - In-Office M/W/F, Remote Tues/Thurs)
Reports To: Director of Design & Development
Team: Web Development / Delivery
The Opportunity
Intellibright is looking for an entry-level Junior WordPress Developer with hands-on Elementor experience to support the build, optimization, and maintenance of marketing websites and landing pages for our clients.
This role is ideal for someone early in their career who can build clean, responsive pages in WordPress using Elementor, follows direction well, and wants to level up quickly in an agency environment. You'll work alongside designers, strategists, SEO, and paid media teams to ship conversion-focused experiences that are fast, accurate, and reliable.
This is a full-time role with a hybrid schedule requiring in-office collaboration 3 days per week.
This is a contract-to-hire role working 30-40 hours per week with a hybrid schedule requiring in-office collaboration 3 days per week.
About Intellibright
Intellibright is a performance-driven digital marketing agency built around accountability and close client partnerships. We believe that if something does not tie back to revenue, it does not matter.
Our proprietary revenue analytics connect marketing activity to pipeline, sales, and revenue across channels.
Recognized by Inc. 5000 and the Financial Times 500 as one of the fastest growing companies in the Americas five years running, Intellibright is a high performance agency headquartered in Austin, Texas.
What You Will Own
  • Build and update WordPress pages primarily using Elementor (templates, sections, responsive controls, basic Theme Builder usage).
  • Implement design comps into clean, responsive pages with strong attention to spacing, typography, and consistency.
  • Maintain website content and page layouts across multiple client sites (new pages, edits, replacements, layout updates).
  • Follow established build standards (naming, structure, reusable sections, global styles when available).
  • Assist with WordPress foundation tasks: plugin updates (with guidance), user roles, basic site settings, backups, and site hygiene.
  • Help troubleshoot common Elementor/WordPress issues (responsiveness bugs, spacing inconsistencies, basic plugin conflicts).
  • Support performance best practices (image compression, basic caching awareness, avoiding unnecessary Elementor bloat).
  • Implement common marketing integrations (forms, embedded tracking snippets, analytics/tag manager placement with guidance).
  • Support QA and staging-to-production releases (checklists, testing across devices/browsers, fix rounds).

What Success Looks Like
  • Pages are built accurately and consistently across desktop/tablet/mobile.
  • Elementor work is clean and maintainable (reusable sections, consistent spacing/typography, minimal hacky overrides).
  • You can take a scoped task and deliver it with minimal rework: build → QA → revisions → publish.
  • Common issues are debugged quickly and communicated clearly (what happened, what changed, what's needed).
  • The team can rely on you for steady execution across multiple websites and requests.
Why This Role Matters
At Intellibright, a strong strategy only creates value if it is executed well.
This role helps ensure our websites-often the center of a client's acquisition and conversion funnel-are built with speed, accuracy, and performance in mind. The Junior WordPress Developer supports reliable delivery by turning designs and marketing direction into real, measurable web experiences.
Requirements
What We Are Looking For
  • 0-1 years of WordPress experience (internships, freelancing, bootcamps, or personal projects are welcome).
  • Working experience with Elementor (you've built real pages and understand responsive controls and layout tools).
  • Basic front-end skills: HTML/CSS (comfortable editing and troubleshooting).
  • Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn quickly with feedback.
  • Ability to follow checklists, build standards, and documentation.
  • Clear communication and comfort working in a collaborative, deadline-driven environment.
  • Austin-based (or willing to relocate) to support the hybrid schedule (3 days/week in-office).
Nice to Have
  • Familiarity with Theme Builder, global styles, and reusable templates in Elementor.
  • Basic knowledge of WordPress hosting environments (WP Engine/Kinsta), staging vs production, and backups.
  • Exposure to tools like WPForms/Gravity Forms, Google Tag Manager, GA4, or basic SEO concepts.
  • Any experience with ACF, custom post types, or WooCommerce (not required).

Benefits
Compensation and Role Structure
  • Contract to Hire (30-40 hours/week)
  • $20 per hour during contract period
  • Conversion to full-time includes access to benefits and bonus opportunities
Fraud Warning
Our team will only contact you through official company email addresses or phone numbers and will conduct interviews via live video. We will never ask you to send money, purchase equipment, provide gift cards, or share any financial information.
