Wordpress Consultant (Paid Test Task)

Occasional WordPress Support (WPEngine + Elementor), Ongoing, Ad-hoc Initial Paid Test Task + Ongoing Work As Needed We're a small SaaS company looking for a reliable WordPress freelancer to handle occasional updates and maintenance on our marketing website. This is not a full-time or high-volume role. We want someone capable and careful whom we can call on as needed, rather than reposting each time something comes up. The site runs on WPEngine and is built with Elementor, with some custom shortcodes and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) in use. Typical tasks: Content and copy edits to existing pages Building new pages and templates that match our existing design Updating UTM and tracking links WordPress, plugin, and theme security updates Occasional fixes to custom shortcodes or page elements General site hygiene and small improvements We work to sensible discipline: changes tested in WPEngine staging before going live, backups taken before significant updates, and clear handover notes on what was changed. What we're looking for: Solid WordPress experience, comfortable with Elementor and WPEngine Able to read and safely edit custom code (PHP shortcodes, basic JS/CSS) when needed Careful, communicative, and good with staging and backups Reliable response times for occasional requests Good written English We'll start with one small paid test task, for the fixed price quoted in this advert. If that goes well, we'd like to set up an ongoing ad hoc arrangement, with either a small monthly minimum or agreed response time if that suits both sides. In your response please tell us your hourly rate, your relevant experience with WPEngine and Elementor, and your typical availability for small ad hoc jobs. Test Task Brief Change default seat value in custom pricing shortcode Our marketing site has several pricing tables, one per customer group, each rendered by a custom shortcode in the form [pricing name="gallery"] (other values include "shipper", etc.). Each table includes a Seats dropdown that calculates banded pricing. The task: change the dropdown's default value from 1 to 5, so it loads at 5 seats on page load, across all customer-group tables. Notes: The shortcode is not defined in any plugin or in our ACF screens (those only handle the feature matrix). It's presumably registered in the theme functions.php, a custom plugin, or a template, with the calculator logic likely in custom JavaScript. Locating add_shortcode('pricing', …) is the starting point. The site is on WPEngine with a staging environment available. Please make and test the change in staging first, and confirm it works correctly across all customer-group tables before anything goes live. Please take a backup before making changes and send us a brief note of what you changed and where. This is to be treated as a paid test, with the on-going job then available pending agreement on rate and availability.
