Ridge Media is a marketing, web development, and media production agency based in Greenville, South Carolina. We build and maintain websites for clients in hospitality, healthcare, nonprofit, education, and B2B. We’re looking for a
remote Website Developer to work with us on a
contract basis, turning approved designs and copy into well-built WordPress sites, launching them cleanly, and keeping them running smoothly afterward.
What you’ll do:
- Build new client websites in WordPress using the Breakdance builder, working from approved designs, brand guidelines, and copy
- Rebuild and migrate existing client sites, carrying over content, page structure, and URLs without losing search visibility
- Structure every site to be SEO and AEO/GEO ready from launch, including heading hierarchy, metadata, schema, redirects, and page speed
- Build mobile-friendly, accessible layouts and reusable page templates
- Set up forms, integrations, and conversion-focused page elements
- Handle ongoing maintenance for sites on our hosting plans: plugin and core updates, security, backups, restores, and monitoring
- Make content edits and small improvements requested by clients and account leads
- Manage sites and DNS in our hosting environment (cPanel/WHM and WP Toolkit), including launches, domain pointing, SSL, and email records like SPF and DKIM
- Work with our account team on scope, timelines, and revisions, and flag anything that’s blocked early
What we’re looking for:
- Solid WordPress experience.
- Working knowledge of HTML and CSS, plus enough PHP and JavaScript to customize beyond what the builder offers
- An understanding of technical SEO and how sites get surfaced in AI search and answer engines
- Comfort with hosting fundamentals: cPanel/WHM, DNS records, SSL, migrations, and backups
- A sharp eye for matching a design closely and catching layout issues across devices
- Clear written communication with our team and, at times, with clients
- The ability to manage multiple client sites at once without dropping details
- A practical approach: clean builds, maintainable structure, and sites clients can actually use
- Website design experience, including creating layouts and page designs from brand guidelines when a project calls for it, is a plus
- A portfolio that shows both design and development work
This position is about building websites that look like the brand, work well on every device, and stay healthy long after launch. If you like the details of building and caring for real client sites, we’d love to hear from you.
