WordPress Consultant Needed for Website Audit & Long-Term Maintenance Strategy

Seeking an experienced WordPress developer/consultant to audit our existing website, evaluate our current Gutenberg implementation, and recommend the best long-term approach for improving maintainability for our internal marketing team. The initial engagement will focus on assessment and recommendations, with the potential for implementation in a second phase. Experience with WordPress, Gutenberg, Elementor, PHP, and technical SEO is preferred. Our priority is making the website easier to manage internally while preserving its existing SEO performance and overall look and feel. More About the Project: We recently transitioned away from a marketing agency that managed our WordPress website. While the site performs well, it is now built in a way that makes it difficult for our internal marketing team to independently create and expand pages. Our goal is to regain ownership of our website so that our marketing team can confidently manage content going forward without relying on developers for routine updates. This project will begin as an audit and consultation. Depending on the findings, we'd like to continue working together on implementation. Phase 1 (Initial Engagement) We are looking for someone to: Review our existing WordPress website and overall architecture Assess our current Gutenberg implementation Identify any custom themes, templates, or plugins affecting maintainability Review technical SEO considerations and identify any risks Recommend the best long-term solution for balancing ease of editing, performance, and SEO Provide a written assessment and recommended next steps Initially, we are looking for recommendations rather than immediate development work.
