SB Recruitment are partnering exclusively with a well established, founder led, successful business to appoint a Web Developer into their growing team.
With a loyal customer base and a clear mandate from leadership to modernise their digital presence, this is a hands on role with real ownership from day one.
The successful candidate will take responsibility for upgrading and maintaining a portfolio of existing websites, working closely with the business's SEO specialist to build out customer tracking and drive measurable improvements in site performance.
The Role...
Reporting into the IT Manager, you will take ownership of five existing WordPress and WooCommerce websites, currently in need of a full upgrade.
This starts as a project to bring each site up to modern standards, transitioning into an ongoing maintenance role once the upgrade work is complete.
You will work alongside the SEO specialist to track customer data and build the reporting infrastructure to support it.
What You'll Own...
Website upgrades — audit and rebuild five existing WordPress and WooCommerce sites, improving speed, structure and usability
Custom development — build and maintain custom themes and plugins, not limited to page builder templates
Payment and integrations — implement and maintain payment gateways and third party API integrations within WooCommerce
Performance, accessibility and SEO — apply front end best practice across all sites, and work with the SEO specialist to support organic visibility




Customer data tracking — build and maintain the tracking infrastructure needed to capture and report on customer behaviour
Release management — manage a controlled staging to production process using Git, protecting site stability with every deployment
Ongoing maintenance — once upgrades are complete, take ownership of day to day site health, updates and support
What You'll Bring...
Solid commercial experience building and maintaining WordPress and WooCommerce sites
Robust PHP, plus HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with genuine custom theme and plugin development experience
Experience integrating payment gateways and third party APIs into WooCommerce
A solid grasp of front end performance, accessibility and SEO fundamentals
Comfortable working with Git and a controlled release process
Graduate level through to 2 plus years experience, ideal for someone ready to take real ownership early in their career
Delivery Priorities...
Audit all five existing websites and prioritise the upgrade roadmap
Begin the rebuild of the highest priority sites, working to modern performance and accessibility standards
Establish a proper staging to production workflow if one is not already in place
Work with the SEO specialist to scope and build out customer tracking
Why This Role...
This is a rare opportunity to take full ownership of a website portfolio from day one, with a clear project scope and a direct path into an ongoing role once the upgrade work lands.
If you are seeking a business that is genuinely investing in its digital presence, and the chance to build something properly rather than patch it, this is the role for you.
