Web Developer

Overview

Role Overview: We are seeking a WordPress & WooCommerce Web Developer to support a short-term website migration project for a consulting company based in Ontario, Canada. The company specializes in delivering technological solutions for businesses, including custom website development and WordPress implementations. The immediate project involves migrating a client’s eCommerce website from Shopify to WordPress/WooCommerce.

The core infrastructure and complex integrations with a third-party print vendor have already been implemented. The developer will focus primarily on content migration, page building, and front-end adjustments to recreate the appearance and structure of the client’s previous website. This role is ideal for someone comfortable with WordPress site building, WooCommerce configuration, and front-end web technologies, with minimal planning required as tasks will largely involve transferring and rebuilding existing content.

Scope of Work / Responsibilities

• Assist with migrating website content from the previous Shopify site to a WordPress instance.
• Recreate pages to match the design and layout of the existing website.
• Perform content copying and formatting (cutting content from the existing site and implementing it in WordPress).
• Configure and organize WooCommerce product pages and product variations.
• Implement layout and styling adjustments using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript where necessary.
• Support the CTO with general WordPress site building tasks and adjustments.
• Ensure pages render correctly and maintain consistent styling and usability.
• Communicate any technical questions or clarifications during development.

Qualifications

• Experience working with WordPress and WooCommerce.
• Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Experience building and modifying WordPress pages and layouts.
• Ability to follow instructions and replicate existing website designs.
• Strong attention to detail when migrating content and formatting pages.
• Knowledge of PHP (a plus, as WooCommerce is built on PHP).
• Experience with eCommerce website migrations.
• Familiarity with product variations and WooCommerce product configuration.

Tools & Technologies

• WordPress
• WooCommerce
• HTML / CSS
• JavaScript
• PHP (preferred but not required)

Shifts & Working Hours

  • Developers can work independently but should expect occasional delays in feedback due to timezone differences.
  • Client timezone: Eastern Time (Ontario, Canada)
• Short-term project engagement
  • Initial contract structured as a 30-hour package
  • Unused hours may potentially be applied to future work depending on project arrangements.
• Target Start Date: Urgent hiring
  • Expected start: within 1–2 weeks, possibly early next week depending on candidate availability and interview completion.
