Wordpress/Framer Developer

Job Description

We’re seeking a creative and technically skilled WordPress/ Framer Developer to join our growing digital team in Knoxville, TN. This hybrid position is perfect for someone who can bridge the gap between design and development — someone who can take a beautiful layout created in Framer (or similar tools like Figma/Webflow) and bring it to life in WordPress with clean, scalable, and high-performing code.

If you’re passionate about building responsive, user-friendly websites that don’t just look great but perform flawlessly, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

Translate Framer, Figma, or other design prototypes into fully functional WordPress websites

Develop and maintain custom WordPress themes and templates

Optimize site speed, performance, and SEO best practices

Ensure cross-browser compatibility and mobile responsiveness

Collaborate closely with UI/UX designers, content creators, and marketing teams

Manage plugin integrations, updates, and occasional troubleshooting

Stay current with the latest web technologies, WordPress updates, and design trends

Required Skills & Experience

4+ years of hands-on WordPress development experience

Strong proficiency in PHP, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (vanilla and jQuery)

Proven experience working with Framer, Figma, or similar visual design-to-code tools

Experience with custom theme development (not just editing existing templates)

Solid understanding of WordPress architecture, hooks, and APIs

Ability to work in Git-based workflows (version control)

Familiarity with responsive design frameworks (e.g., Bootstrap, Tailwind)

Strong attention to detail with a pixel-perfect mindset

Nice-to-Have

Experience with WooCommerce or other WordPress e-commerce solutions

Knowledge of headless WordPress or decoupled CMS architecture

Experience using animation libraries like GSAP or Lottie

Understanding of SEO fundamentals and performance optimization tools (e.g., Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights)

Familiarity with page builders like Elementor or Gutenberg (especially for content team handoff)
