WordPress/Kadence Developer + Automation Support I manage a growing portfolio of WordPress websites and am looking for a reliable, detail-oriented developer for ongoing part-time support. The immediate priority is completing and improving an existing mortgage website built with WordPress, Gutenberg, and Kadence. This is not a full website rebuild. I need someone comfortable working within an existing installation, identifying problems, improving the site, and documenting the work completed. Initial work will include: Reviewing the existing WordPress installation before making changes Confirming backups and recovery procedures Auditing active plugins and identifying unnecessary or duplicate functionality Working with Gutenberg and Kadence Standardizing global colors, fonts, buttons, and spacing Repairing/improving headers, navigation, and footers Completing existing page layouts and homepage sections Improving responsive behavior across desktop, tablet, and mobile Configuring and testing forms and lead capture Supporting GA4 and Google Search Console setup Following technical SEO best practices Improving website performance and troubleshooting issues Documenting significant changes Automation Opportunities As the initial websites are completed, I also plan to develop automation workflows connecting WordPress with third-party services and AI tools. Future work may include: Zapier/Make workflows API and webhook integrations OpenAI/AI integrations Video and transcript-to-blog automation Automated WordPress draft creation Form and lead-routing automation Google Workspace and CRM integrations HTML/CSS/JavaScript scripting Occasional PHP customization Automation experience is highly desirable, but strong WordPress troubleshooting and development skills are the immediate priority. Development Approach I prefer lightweight, maintainable WordPress websites. I do not want unnecessary plugins, duplicate functionality, excessive page builders, or recurring paid software added when existing functionality can accomplish the job. Paid plugins, major architectural changes, theme replacements, or significant changes to the existing technology stack require approval first. All work is managed through clearly defined tasks with priorities, estimated hours, dependencies, and acceptance criteria. The workflow is: Ready → In Progress → QA Review → Done Good communication, documentation, attention to detail, responsive design, security, performance, and technical SEO are important. Paid Trial & Ongoing Work I plan to begin with a small paid 2–3 hour trial before assigning ongoing work. The right developer may receive continued work across multiple websites and future automation projects. When applying, please include: 2–3 WordPress websites you personally worked on and what you did Your experience with Gutenberg and Kadence An example of an existing WordPress website you inherited and improved Your experience with Zapier, Make, APIs, webhooks, or AI integrations Your hourly rate and availability Please begin your proposal with “JMG Developer” so I know you read the complete project description. What I’ll look for in each engagement: • Updated site files safely deployed on the live server, with a brief changelog. • Design or layout tweaks rendering correctly in all modern browsers and devices. • Performance and security checks showing no critical issues. • Zapier scenario(s) documented, tested end-to-end, and handed off so I can tweak them later. If you’re comfortable with WordPress development, API integration, workflow automation, and the usual front-end stack, this should be a smooth ongoing collaboration.

JMG Developer I take over aging WordPress sites for small businesses on a regular basis. Full audit, Core Web Vitals, database queries, caching, image pipelines, security hardening, SEO restructure. Did exactly this for a Santa Barbara consulting lab recently. About 2 weeks from audit to launched fixes. Your mortgage site sounds like the same shape of work. I've worked with Gutenberg extensively and I'm comfortable with Kadence's block system. The workflow you described, review first, confirm backups, audit plugins before touching anything, is exactly how I approach inherited installs. Too many devs jump in and start changing things without understanding what's already there. Your automation roadmap is where this gets interesting. I've built Zapier and Make workflows connecting WordPress to CRMs, form routing to Google Workspace, and webhook-triggered draft creation. I've also shipped custom OpenAI API integrations for content pipelines on a production site. So the jump from fixing the existing site to building those workflows out is natural. For the trial I'd start with the plugin audit and backup verification since those protect everything that comes after. Want to do a quick walkthrough of the site's current state so I can scope the first few tasks?

JMG Developer I work a lot with existing WordPress installs where the goal is to improve what is already there rather than rebuild it, so this is a strong fit. I’m comfortable with Gutenberg, Kadence, plugin audits, responsive fixes, form testing, performance work, and clean documentation/changelogs. I can also support the later automation side with Zapier, Make, webhooks, APIs, and AI integrations as the sites progress. Happy to start with the 2–3 hour paid trial and work through clearly defined tasks and QA.

Hi! Ongoing WordPress/Kadence upkeep is right in my lane - I work in Gutenberg + Kadence daily and like the reliable, detail-oriented, part-time setup you're describing. I'd start by finishing and tightening the mortgage site (layout, speed, any broken blocks), then run a simple recurring checklist across the wider portfolio: updates, backups, uptime, GA4/Search Console, console errors, and small content/design fixes as they come. For the automation side I can wire up the repetitive bits (form-to-CRM, scheduled reports, third-party syncs) so you stop doing them by hand. I follow the review-before-changes and approval-first workflow you described. Could you share the mortgage site URL and which tasks are most urgent this week? I can point out 2-3 quick wins before you award. Available to start now.

JMG Developer This looks like the kind of long-term WordPress support role where careful review and structured execution matter most. I’m comfortable stepping into existing WordPress websites, auditing plugins and setup first, then improving Kadence/Gutenberg layouts, navigation, styling systems, responsive behavior, forms, and performance without overcomplicating the stack. I can also help as you move into automation workflows involving webhooks, APIs, AI tools, and WordPress integrations. Starting with a 2–3 hour paid trial makes sense, and I can follow your task and QA workflow closely.
