We are currently looking for a Full-Stack WordPress Web Developer to build custom themes, re-skin existing themes, and provide ongoing support for existing sites including code changes/additions, content updates, and software maintenance.

• In-depth knowledge of the WordPress platform and the ability to create custom themes using Advanced Custom Fields.
• Strong command of PHP, HTML, JavaScript/jQuery, and CSS as it pertains to theme building and creating pixel-perfect layouts from PSDs.
• A decent feel for design & usability, and the ability to improvise effectively when you don’t have explicit layout direction for every screen size (it happens…)
• Availability during regular business hours (Central Time)

It would be helpful to also have:

• Familiarity with Bootstrap and Flexbox.
• Familiarity with Laravel Valet or a similar framework, integrating Gulp or Grunt and SASS.
