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!
