About the company

Remote World is partnering with a UK-based digital agency to hire for this role. They build and maintain WordPress sites for clients in professional services, healthcare, and education — typically 10–20 active projects at any time, ranging from content sites to custom-plugin integrations.

The role

You'll build, customise, and maintain WordPress sites for a portfolio of UK clients — working from design briefs to deliver clean, fast, secure builds. You'll develop custom themes and plugins where needed, and you'll be the go-to person for anything WordPress-related.

What you'll do

Build WordPress sites from design mockups using custom themes or page builders
Develop custom plugins and theme modifications using PHP
Maintain existing client sites — updates, security patches, and performance
Integrate third-party tools including CRMs, payment gateways, and analytics
Troubleshoot and debug WordPress issues across hosting environments

What you'll need

Strong WordPress development experience — themes, plugins, and custom PHP
Solid HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for frontend work
Comfortable with Git and deploying to shared or managed hosting
Reliable and communicative — clients notice when things go wrong

Nice to have

Experience with Elementor, ACF, or WooCommerce
Familiarity with performance optimisation (caching, image compression, Core Web Vitals)
Understanding of WordPress security best practices

What you'll get

$550–$900 USD/month based on experience
Fully remote and async-friendly
Varied projects across industries — no two builds are the same
Paid leave
