WordPress Layout Builder / Site Designer (3 Month Project)

Our client is migrating multiple web properties from Drupal to WordPress. Our development partner has launched a WordPress multisite infrastructure. Our internal staff have already organized the content - copy and images - for each site. We need someone to sit between those two groups and build the pages:

Taking prepared content and assembling clean, consistent, on-brand layouts using the custom blocks provided. This is a production and layout role rather than a from-scratch visual design role; the design system and block library will already exist.

Key Responsibilities

• Build out pages across multiple WordPress sites using a block-based content editor
• Translate organized content from non-technical staff into polished pages that follow Our client's brand guidelines
• Maintain layout and styling consistency across a high volume of pages and across both sites
• Verify pages render correctly across desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints
• Identify gaps where existing blocks do not cover a layout need and flag to Our client team
• Work directly with Our client stakeholders to review pages, gather feedback, and make revisions
• Track and update progress in a project ticket management tool

Requirements

• Hands-on experience building production pages in the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg, Layout Builder, Elementor, etc), including work with custom or pre- built block libraries
• Strong eye for layout - spacing, typography, visual hierarchy, and responsive behavior
• Demonstrated ability to work with content and media at volume without losing accuracy or consistency
• Comfort working within an established design system rather than creating one
• Self-directed; able to take organized content and move it to a finished page without daily direction
• Great communication skills in English; will be on regular calls with non-technical staff and must be able to explain things plainly
• Comfortable working in the Pacific time zone with substantial daily overlap for review sessions

Nice to Have

• Experience on a Drupal-to-WordPress migration
• Familiarity with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and flexible content layouts
• Experience working alongside an external development agency
• Familiarity with WordPress multisite
• Working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) as applied to page structure
• Basic image optimization and media library management practices
• Experience with Figma or similar for referencing design specs

Out of Scope for This Role

• Backend or PHP development - owned by Web Dev Studios
• Original brand or visual identity design
• Content writing
