The Role (This Is a Doer Role)
We’re looking for a strong WordPress Web Developer who can build, fix, optimize, and deliver. This is a hands-on execution role for someone who enjoys being in the work—not managing people, not climbing a ladder.
You should be comfortable owning builds end-to-end, jumping into issues without hesitation, and delivering websites that are:
- Visually polished
- Technically sound
- SEO-friendly
- Fast, stable, and conversion-ready
No offshore candidates or agencies. Preference for Colorado-based , open to U.S.-based candidates.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Building new WordPress websites and redesigns
- Maintaining, updating, and repairing existing sites (including urgent issues)
- Writing clean, well-structured, documented code
- Implementing SEO best practices during development (not as an afterthought)
- Integrating Google tools (GA4, Search Console, Tag Manager, etc.)
- Managing hosting environments, migrations, DNS, and domains
- Collaborating with designers and marketers to execute approved designs and strategies
- Communicating clearly with non-technical clients to gather requirements
- Managing multiple sites and deadlines without quality slipping
- Responding quickly when a site breaks— this matters
- This is not a typical 8am-5pm role but expected to respond to clients and address needs during standard business hours
Required Skills & Experience
- 5+ years of web development experience
- 3+ years of WordPress-focused development
- Strong full-stack WordPress capability (themes, plugins, customization)
- Solid HTML and CSS skills
- Comfortable working server-side to support WordPress
- Strong understanding of SEO fundamentals related to site structure, performance, and content
- Working knowledge of Google Analytics (GA4), Google Search Console , and related tools
- Experience with hosting platforms and DNS/zone records
- Able to juggle multiple projects and priorities
- Reliable, responsive, and accountable
- Comfortable working independently with minimal oversight
Nice to Have (Not Required)
- Experience with Astra Pro, Elementor, and Formidable Forms
- eCommerce, ticketing, or payment system experience
- Performance optimization and page speed tuning
- Strong design instincts and attention to visual detail
What This Is Not
- Not a leadership or management role
- Not a strategy-only role
- Not a “handholding” environment
- Not a place for slow executors
This role is for someone who likes producing great work and moving on to the next build.
What We Need From You
- Resume (cover letter optional)
- Portfolio or examples of recent WordPress work
- Must be U.S.-based and authorized to work in the United States
Why Work With CGM?
- Clear expectations
- Clean builds
- Respect for craftsmanship
- Flexibility without chaos
- Work that matters and ships
If you’re a WordPress developer who performs, delivers, and takes pride in the work , we want to talk!
