WordPress Developer (Bedrock + WooCommerce)

WordPress Developer (Bedrock + WooCommerce)

Overview:
The client seeks an experienced WordPress Developer to contribute to two concurrent projects involving custom WordPress builds using modern development practices. Both projects are built on Bedrock, leverage clean templating approaches like Blade, and require a focus on maintainability and minimal plugin use.

Project Contexts:

1. Community Housing Website – A new build where front-end components will be provided. The developer will be responsible for integrating these into a custom WordPress instance using a lightweight plugin stack and adhering to best coding practices.
2. Logistics & Storage Site UX Refresh – A rebuild and modernisation of an existing WooCommerce-powered WordPress site. The work includes UX improvements, refactoring legacy code, and extending existing functionality while maintaining a clean, modular structure.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain custom WordPress themes using Bedrock.
• Integrate provided front-end components into WordPress templates (Blade-based).
• Follow detailed briefs with specific plugin stacks and architecture guidelines.
• Refactor legacy code in an existing WooCommerce build.
• Collaborate with internal design and UX teams on implementation and feedback cycles.

Qualifications:

• Strong proficiency in PHP and WordPress, particularly Bedrock-based setups.
• Experience with Blade templates, Laravel, or other modern PHP frameworks.
• Solid understanding of WooCommerce (order-based functionality only; no payment processing).
• Proven ability to write clean, reusable code and avoid unnecessary plugin dependencies.
• Comfortable providing effort estimates and working independently to deliver scoped work.

Nice to Have:

• Broader experience in backend application development or CMS refactoring.
• Ability to evaluate and suggest technical improvements.
