Are you a freelance WordPress developer who is an expert at both web design and development, and that can create highly functional and aesthetically beautiful WordPress sites with Elementor?
Buddy Web Design & Development (www.buddywdd.com) is a growing and entrepreneurial website design and development company headquartered in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area, but with team members working remotely across the US.
Buddy has built a portfolio of clients across the country, and is currently seeking a talented and experienced WordPress and front-end designer and developer who would be able to help take on occasional project work as Buddy’s workload grows. This work can be done remotely and part time, according to a schedule of your choosing, provided development milestones are met, and that you are available to join occasional project calls with clients, as needed per the project.
For this role, Buddy is searching for an independent contractor who can spearhead the design and development of functional, elegant, and easy-to-use WordPress websites. Commonly, Buddy develops marketing and e-commerce websites for small to mid-sized businesses, most often using WordPress and Elementor, custom HTML and CSS, plugins and related tools. Fluency in PHP and creating custom themes is not required, but can be helpful. Ditto with JavaScript and other related languages.
An ideal person for this opportunity will have experience working in a freelance and independent contractor capacity, coupled with expertise in designing and developing exceptional WordPress websites using Elementor. An ideal candidate will bring high attention to detail and best practices, a high degree of professionalism and integrity, coupled with a comfort in working in an evolving, entrepreneurial environment that can have ambiguity at times.
For examples of our work, please check out our portfolio at www.buddywdd.com. If you are able to design and develop elegant and functional websites such as the ones highlighted, this role might be a great mutual fit.

Application Question(s):
- This is an independent contractor role with occasional project opportunities, not a full-time salaried role. Is this okay with you?
- Do you do freelance work as your full-time or primary job? If not, how many hours per week do you typically work on freelance projects?
- What WordPress page builder(s) or theme(s) do you use primarily?
- Please provide a link to your online portfolio, and/or some of the WordPress websites you have designed and developed.
- For full transparency, let’s talk money so we can see if we’re in the same ballpark : ) A typical project with Buddy might be something like designing and building a basic brochure-style site in WordPress with around 6 pages of basic content, like a home page, about, services, and contact page, with text and images all provided by the client. You will be responsible for designing and building the site, testing, optimizing, and launching it. No need to use PHP, instead we’d most likely look to you to build the site in WordPress with Elementor. Let’s assume the client has hosting already with WP Engine, and there’s no ongoing maintenance after launch. Just ballpark, what price range would you want to charge Buddy as a subcontractor for something like this? Please provide your best guess for the total cost (i.e. not hourly).
Experience:
- WordPress design and development: 3 years (Required)
Work Location: Remote
