Description
OK, so you have read this kind of job ad about a bazillion times. As such, we will save each other some time and just cut to the chase. We are looking for a freelance developer to convert PSDs into responsive WordPress themes, themes with pixel-level precision.
And who are we? We are a small, boutique web design and development company, specializing in responsive WordPress sites. We work with freelancers to help us not only be able to scale to project needs, but also (and more importantly) to be able to better match designers and/or developers to specific projects where there is a high-quality fit.
In a nutshell, we are looking for someone ultra-reliable, super-sharp, with a keen attention to detail. You know, all of the usual stuff. Bonus points if you have a good sense of humor and take providing exceptional quality and helpful service very seriously.
With regard to this role, we also need someone who this isn’t their first responsive rodeo, and who knows WordPress like the back of their hand. And, it probably goes without saying, we need someone who can do pixel-precise work, getting things right the first time. A lot of time goes into the PSDs and we need themes that capture them completely and accurately. We have clients that are sensitive down to the pixel, so quality and precision really, really count.
Most importantly, though, we need someone that is not only highly communicative, but also rock-solid reliable. We pride ourselves on not only being responsive with our websites, but also with our communication to our clients. This is a service business after all, and we take the service elements of what we do very, very seriously. As such, we need the people who work with us to be cut from the same cloth.
As far as our process goes, we are BIG believers in things like frameworks, (flexible) boilerplate, child themes, and standardized ways of doing things (assuming they do not cut into the custom-quality of the project). Not only does this give consistency for the clients, but should also make building things go faster and faster. It is our opinion that a project completed with exceptional quality, as fast as possible, is a win/win/win.
All work will be project-based, waxing and waning as the work comes in. We have one project in the pipe right now we need help with, with several others pending. As far as compensation goes, standard freelance rules apply (usually 50% down and 50% on client sign-off, often paid the same day).
To apply, please send in 3-5 examples of responsive WordPress sites/themes you have created from PSDs. Back-stories accompanying said examples would be most appreciated, especially challenges you had to overcome, as well as anything that made that project unique. Additionally, please include your standard rate (including normal timeline) for a 3-5 unique PSD responsive site (e.g., your standard brochure-type site), including testing.
We look forward to hearing from you. All the best.
