What is a WordPress Developer?

A WordPress Developer is a professional who specializes in designing, developing, and maintaining websites using the WordPress platform. They create custom themes and plugins, optimize website performance, and ensure security and scalability. WordPress Developers may also integrate third-party services, troubleshoot issues, and provide updates to keep websites running smoothly. Their expertise covers both front-end and back-end development within the WordPress ecosystem.

What does a WordPress Developer do?

A WordPress developer creates applications using the WordPress open-source content management system (CMS). The WordPress CMS is very popular among bloggers, media sites, and other online forums. Your responsibilities as a WordPress developer vary with the position, but often include coding and developing plugins to extend its functionality to specific tasks. Your duties also involve customizing a build and creating modules to a client’s specifications. Once the site is established, you perform routine maintenance to ensure the site continues to run smoothly and update the platform and its components. You typically work with a variety of programming languages and may also oversee the security components of the system.

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

To thrive as a WordPress Developer, you need strong skills in PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a solid understanding of WordPress core, themes, and plugins, often supported by a relevant degree or web development certifications. Familiarity with development tools like Git, MySQL databases, popular page builders, and REST APIs is commonly required. Problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication are essential soft skills that help you collaborate with clients and teams. These abilities ensure you can build secure, scalable, and user-friendly WordPress websites that meet client needs and industry standards.

How does a WordPress Developer typically collaborate with designers and content creators on website projects?

WordPress Developers often work closely with designers to translate visual concepts into functional themes and with content creators to ensure website structure supports their needs. Collaboration usually involves regular meetings to discuss project goals, sharing feedback during development sprints, and using tools like Slack, Trello, or Jira to manage tasks and updates. This teamwork ensures that the final website not only looks appealing but also provides a seamless user experience and is easy for non-technical team members to update. Effective communication and flexibility are key to aligning technical capabilities with creative vision and content requirements.

What is the difference between Wordpress Developer vs Web Designer?

AspectWordpress DeveloperWeb Designer
Primary FocusBuilding and customizing WordPress websites, coding, plugin developmentDesigning website layouts, user interface, visual elements
Skills & CertificationsHTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, WordPress CMSAdobe Photoshop, Illustrator, UI/UX design principles
Work EnvironmentWeb development agencies, freelance, in-house teamsDesign studios, freelance, marketing agencies

While both roles work on websites, a Wordpress Developer focuses on coding, functionality, and backend customization of WordPress sites. A Web Designer emphasizes visual design, layout, and user experience. They often collaborate but have distinct skill sets and responsibilities.

Junior WordPress Developer (Elementor)

Intellibright

Austin, TX • On-site

$20/hr

Contractor

Re-posted 29 days ago

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.
