WordPress Developer for Local-Business Websites — Ongoing, $500–$750 Per Site (SEO-Ready Builds)

We’re a full-service digital marketing agency and we build a steady stream of local-business websites for our clients. We’re looking for a reliable developer (or small dev team) to build these sites on an on-call, per-project basis — one site at a time, as they come up. This is not a one-off: done well, this is ongoing, repeat work for the right person. Important — this is NOT an SEO or content role. We handle all SEO, content, and optimization in-house. Your job is to build a clean, fast, well-structured website that is set up and ready for our SEO team to take over, populate, and optimize. What each build includes • A complete WordPress website: home, about, contact, service pages, and location/city pages, plus a blog structure. • A repeatable template system so we can scale service and location pages quickly (e.g., “[Service]” and “[Service] in [City]” pages). • Clean, SEO-friendly structure: proper heading hierarchy (one H1, logical H2/H3s), editable title & meta fields (Yoast or RankMath), schema-ready markup, image alt fields, and a sensible URL and menu structure. • Fast, mobile-responsive, cross-browser tested, with good Core Web Vitals. • Contact forms, click-to-call, Google Maps embed, and placement ready for our tracking (GA4 / pixels). • A clean handoff: admin access and a short “where everything is” note so our team can drop in content without hunting. Budget & terms • $500–$750 per website, depending on size and number of pages — quoted up front, per site. • Ongoing need: multiple sites per month as our client base grows. Reliable partners get first pick of every new build. You’re a great fit if you • Have built local-business / service-area websites before (please show examples). • Work fast, communicate clearly, and hit predictable turnaround times. • Can build reusable templates for location and service pages. • Take pride in a clean, well-organized build that’s easy for another team to take over. To apply, please tell us • Share 2–3 examples of local-business or service websites you’ve built. • Your typical turnaround for a ~10–15 page site. • Your price per site (within $500–$750) and exactly what’s included. • Your stack — WordPress plus which page builder (Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, etc.)? • Have you built templated location/service pages before? Briefly, how do you approach it? Please start your reply with the word “BUILD” so we know you read the whole post.
