We're a UK digital marketing agency. Our in-house team handles day-to-day website work: pages, content, plugin and PHP updates, speed fixes. We need an experienced WordPress developer we can call on when the site is down or a fix needs server-level access. What we'd call you for: - The site is down or showing a white screen, and we can't get into wp-admin - Work inside the hosting account: server files (SFTP), the database, cache and DNS - Restoring a backup, or cleaning up after a hack or malware - Being accountable and reachable when something breaks Our setup: WordPress on managed hosting, Gutenberg with Spectra, WP Rocket, Gravity Forms linked to Zapier, Yoast, PHP 8.4. What we need from you: - 5+ years of hands-on WordPress, including hosting and server-side fixes - Your response times for (1) site down and (2) non-urgent fixes. We're after about 2 hours for site-down issues in UK working hours, and 1-2 working days for the rest - Your hourly rate - Availability in UK hours How it works: hourly and as needed. We'll start with a small paid test job, and we're building a shortlist of two developers. To apply: tell us about a time you brought a WordPress site back from being down, and include your response times and rate.
