• Set and enforce development standards, workflows, and best practices across the team.
• Act as the primary technical point of contact for complex projects, escalations, and client-facing discussions.
• Build and customise WordPress websites using themes, templates, and page builders (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, etc.).
• Customise template-based websites to match client branding and functionality requirements.
• Perform and oversee website edits and updates, including content, layouts, and functionality improvements.
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues such as plugin conflicts, broken layouts, and performance challenges.
• Oversee full site migrations — staging to live, domain transfers, hosting transfers, and DNS setup.
• Optimise websites for speed, security, and mobile responsiveness.
• Document processes, maintain accurate records, and ensure smooth handovers.
