Responsibilities
- Testing a series of custom features in a site
- Building modules
- Translation management
- Custom WordPress site builds – take a Photoshop file and apply the styles to a WordPress child theme, work with Beaver Builder, PHP, and WordPress child theme templates to set up custom features and layouts as needed.
- Modify and create new Beaver Builder modules to add support for features, complex functionality, and intricate styling that aren’t natively available.
- Develop and maintain custom themes with an eye towards automation and end user-friendliness
- Extend 3rd party plugins with WordPress hooks, template overrides, or creative solutions to accomplish time-sensitive tasks
- Plugin troubleshooting/problem-solving.
- Feature documentation.
- Taking screenshots and writing out steps/instructions to be used in Thinkific for course-building
- Project debriefs – sharing your experience with a site or project build with the team.
- Marketing needs to make customizations to their events in Beaver Builder to display an external link that they can change from the WordPress admin. You would add a custom field that shows on posts with something like Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and then modify the Beaver Builder post feed module to display data from the ACF field on the front end.
- A website with hundreds of already created posts and pages is being redesigned. You would create page templates and widgets that account for dynamic content in order to restyle existing posts in a way that ensures nothing slips through the cracks while working within the confines of the already existing website or proactively identifying new technology that would better serve the redesign and decrease redesign time.
- A designer you’re working with has finished their mock-up on a new site build with great UI/UX, but is unsure how to handle dynamic content within their design. You proactively suggest solutions and utilize responsive frontend best practices to ensure the website looks good on every browser and every device regardless of what the content looks like. We will use WordPress or HubSpot only so it is important to learn or be certified on these.
