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

• Ability to follow checklists, build standards, and documentation.

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.
