We're looking for contractors and/or part-time employees with demonstrated experience using GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks to build WordPress sites. You will be expected to translate designs and site architectures into functional, scalable, responsive websites, including WooCommerce based e-commerce sites.
We have settled on this stack after years working with a wide-variety of other page- and site-builders. Full-site development experience using GeneratePress Pro and GenerateBlocks Premium, and its suite of in-built tools and functionality is an absolute requirement. Extending functionality via core plugins for custom fields, forms, SEO, commerce integrations, CRM and email marketing integrations is also expected.
Most of our clients are B2B manufacturers or mixed B2B/B2C retailers so sites will almost always have some commerce component.
This is a freelance/contractor/part-time position.
