Hiring

**Please realize this is not an entry level position, that I require you have a certain level of knowledge and experience. I’m looking for demonstrated experience building custom WordPress themes.

Skills & competencies required:

+ Strong knowledge of HTML5 markup and CSS3
+ Significant experience with WordPress theming: template hierarchy, hooks, WP_Query, and so on
+ Ability to write CSS for cross-browser, responsive design (not just by using Bootstrap)
+ Solid JavaScript skills (particularly in jQuery)
+ Familiarity with current (and evolving) best practices in front-end dev regarding semantics, performance, cross-browser consistency, etc.
+ Experience with CSS preprocessors & libraries (particularly sass)
+ Familiarity with command line tools like Git, Gulp, and WP-CLI
+ Ability to handle feedback and criticism (I have a very thorough QA process)
+ Ability to review designs and anticipate questions, problems, and issues with responsive/interactive elements that may not have been fully considered
+ Awesome written & oral communication skills

The types of projects you’d be working on include:

+ Custom themes developed with Underscores
+ Heavy use of Custom Post Types, custom fields (ACF repeaters, flexible fields etc..)
+ Creating custom page templates
+ Implementing custom slideshows, carousels, accordions, modals etc….
+ Building custom Google maps
+ Extending plugins such as Gravity forms

Other stuff I’d love if you’re good at, but aren’t requirements:

+ Child theme development using Genesis
+ Building Multilingual sites using WPML

The rate of pay will depend on your experience (you’ll usually be paid by the project)
