As a Technical Web Designer, you will own the full lifecycle of a project, bridging the gap between aesthetic UI/UX and technical execution. Whether supporting our UK-based clients or our global plugin user base in the USA, you will be responsible for building high-performance, data-driven websites that prioritise both user experience and technical stability. This role is designed for someone who enjoys the variety of shifting between visual design, data architecture, and server-side optimisation.

We are open to discussing this role as a long-term partnership with freelance specialists or small agencies. Whether you are an individual or a white-label partner, you must be able to integrate seamlessly into our workflow and meet our technical standards.

Performance Engineering: A technical approach to site builds that prioritises Core Web Vitals, minimising asset bloat and ensuring high-speed delivery across all device types.
Technical SEO: Practical application of semantic HTML, logical heading hierarchies, and schema markup during the initial build phase to ensure search engine accessibility.
WordPress Lifecycle Management: Experience managing the full deployment pipeline, including staging environments, database migrations, and plugin conflict resolution.
Software Stewardship: Diligent oversight of plugin and license management, ensuring all software is updated, secure, and compliant across a varied client portfolio.

AI Integration: Experience leveraging models such as Claude Sonnet or equivalent to accelerate problem-solving and coding efficiency.
Maintenance & Security: Experience with plugin and license management to ensure site stability and software compliance across a diverse portfolio.
