Summary

We are seeking an experienced WordPress developer with deep technical SEO expertise to complete the migration, optimization, and launch of an established family law firm's website. This is not a simple website redesign. We need someone who understands website architecture, Core Web Vitals, technical SEO, and local SEO for professional service businesses. The successful candidate will migrate our existing WordPress website to a new hosting environment/server, ensure a seamless migration with zero downtime, proper redirects, and preservation of all existing SEO value. They will integrate HTML pages into fully functional WordPress pages, update existing pages, and build new ones as necessary. The candidate must optimize every page for maximum SEO performance, ensure the new website is fully responsive, improve website speed, and implement proper schema markup. They will configure XML sitemaps, robots.txt, canonical tags, breadcrumbs, and metadata, verify proper indexing, and submit the website through Google Search Console. Testing thoroughly before launch and resolving any bugs or issues is essential.
