CertificationsWordpress certifications, web design coursesComputer science degrees, coding bootcamps
Work EnvironmentFreelance, small agencies, small business websitesAgencies, in-house teams, large projects
Industry UsageWebsite setup, content managementFull website development, custom solutions

Wordpress specialists focus on managing and customizing Wordpress sites using CMS tools, while Web Developers build and code websites from scratch or with various frameworks. Both roles are essential in web development but differ in technical depth and scope.

What are WordPress developers?

WordPress developers are professionals who specialize in designing, building, and maintaining websites using the WordPress content management system (CMS). They may create custom themes, develop plugins, and optimize sites for performance, security, and user experience. WordPress developers often work with clients to bring their website ideas to life, ensuring the site is functional, responsive, and easy to manage. Their expertise ranges from front-end design to back-end development, depending on the needs of the project.

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

WordPress Developers frequently work closely with designers to implement visually appealing and user-friendly layouts, often translating design mockups into functional themes. They also coordinate with content creators to ensure that posts, pages, and multimedia are seamlessly integrated and optimized for SEO. Effective communication and use of project management tools are key, as developers must balance technical requirements with the creative vision and content strategy of the team. This collaboration ensures that the final website aligns with both business goals and user needs.

What Are WordPress Jobs?

WordPress jobs fall into two major categories. Automattic, the owner of WordPress, has positions where you can work as a developer on the back end and create new content for the platform. However, the majority of jobs focus on being a user and knowing how and when to use the many features that WordPress offers. In these roles, you may be asked to develop and maintain a Wordpress site, code original themes and content, evaluate design aspects, conduct website testing, and design new applications. Fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of these jobs usually requires several years of experience with WordPress. As part of their qualifications, some employers may ask to see a portfolio of work so they can evaluate your skills.

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 expertise in PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and experience with WordPress themes and plugins, often supported by a degree in computer science or related fields. Familiarity with tools like Git, MySQL, page builders, and knowledge of security best practices, as well as certifications such as WordPress-specific courses, are advantageous. Problem-solving, creativity, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for meeting client needs and collaborating with teams. These skills ensure efficient website development, customization, maintenance, and client satisfaction in a dynamic web environment.

Job description

WordPress Developer (Elementor Expert) - Contract-to-Hire (6 Months)

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 a mid-level WordPress Developer with expert-level Elementor experience to help build, optimize, and maintain high-performing marketing websites and landing pages for our clients.

If you move fast without breaking things, care about clean implementation, and know how to get the most out of Elementor (Theme Builder, global systems, dynamic content, performance)-this role is for you. You'll work closely with designers, strategists, SEO, and paid media teams to ship conversion-focused experiences that are measurable and reliable.

This is a 6-month contract-to-hire role 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 maintain WordPress websites and landing pages primarily using Elementor (Theme Builder, templates, global widgets, reusable sections, dynamic content).
  • Implement design comps into pixel-clean, responsive pages with strong attention to spacing, typography, and consistency.
  • Create and enforce maintainable Elementor systems (global styles, design tokens, template standards, component reuse).
  • Configure and manage WordPress foundations: theme settings, plugins, environments, user roles, backups, and site hygiene.
  • Work with ACF and custom post types/taxonomies to support scalable content and dynamic page builds.
  • Troubleshoot complex Elementor + WordPress issues (layout bugs, responsiveness, plugin conflicts, performance bottlenecks).
  • Improve site performance (Core Web Vitals, caching, image optimization, asset loading, reducing Elementor bloat).
  • Implement marketing integrations: forms, tracking, analytics, tag manager support, CRM/email tooling integrations.
  • Support QA, staging-to-production releases, and documentation to keep delivery predictable across multiple client sites.
What Success Looks Like
  • Elementor builds are clean, consistent, reusable, and easy for the team to maintain.
  • Pages launch quickly without sacrificing quality, responsiveness, or performance.
  • Core templates, global styles, and component libraries reduce rework and speed up delivery.
  • Performance improves over time (faster load, fewer layout shifts, better CWV).
  • Issues are diagnosed efficiently and resolved with clear communication and strong ownership.
  • Stakeholders (design, strategy, SEO, paid media) feel supported because implementation is reliable and proactive.
  • Multiple projects can move forward in parallel because you can prioritize and execute without constant oversight.
Why This Role Matters

At Intellibright, strong strategy only creates value if it is executed well.

This role ensures our web experiences-often the center of a client's acquisition and conversion funnel-are built with speed, precision, and performance in mind. The WordPress Developer (Elementor Expert) turns creative and marketing direction into real, measurable outcomes by shipping pages that load fast, track correctly, and convert.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to be a key driver of website delivery quality in a high-performance agency where execution is just as important as ideas.

Requirements

What We Are Looking For
  • 3+ years of professional WordPress development experience (agency / multi-client work strongly preferred).
  • Expert-level Elementor experience: Theme Builder, templates, global widgets, responsive workflows, dynamic content, and system-based building.
  • Strong grasp of WordPress fundamentals (themes/plugins, WP admin, troubleshooting, content modeling).
  • Pro-level front-end implementation skills (HTML/CSS + enough JavaScript to debug and integrate confidently).
  • Proven ability to optimize WordPress/Elementor sites for performance (CWV, caching, asset optimization, image strategy).
  • Comfortable working across multiple projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams.
  • Clear communicator-able to explain tradeoffs, timelines, and technical constraints without drama.
  • Must be Austin-based or willing to relocate (hybrid schedule requires in-person work 3 days/week).
Nice to Have
  • ACF + custom post types/taxonomies depth (content modeling, dynamic Elementor builds).
  • Experience extending Elementor (custom widgets, hooks, custom functionality).
  • WooCommerce experience (especially with Elementor).
  • Familiarity with managed hosting (WP Engine/Kinsta), CDN setups, and deployment workflows (Git/staging).

Benefits

Compensation and Engagement
  • Engagement Type: Contract-to-hire
  • Contract Duration: 6 months
  • Hours: 30-40/week
  • Pay: Competitive, based on experience (hourly or salary conversion upon hire)
