Job ID: 40471575

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

Freelance WordPress (Elementor) Website Maintenance & Optimization Specialist (Ongoing)

We’re looking for a dependable freelance WordPress specialist to manage ongoing website maintenance, updates, and performance optimization.

This is not a one-time build—we need someone who can actively support and improve a live site that’s tied directly to marketing, events, and enrollment.

About the Role
You’ll be responsible for keeping our WordPress site fast, functional, and conversion-focused. This includes everything from quick content updates to troubleshooting issues and improving performance.

We move quickly, so responsiveness and the ability to execute without a lot of back-and-forth is key.

Core Responsibilities

Manage and update WordPress site (Elementor-based)
Build and update landing pages for events, auditions, and announcements
Ensure mobile optimization and responsiveness across all devices
Monitor and improve page speed and site performance
Troubleshoot and resolve issues (forms, payments, broken pages, plugins)
Manage plugin updates, backups, and general site health
Implement and maintain integrations (forms, email, payments, tracking tools)
Support SEO basics (meta descriptions, page structure, indexing)
Ensure clean, consistent layout aligned with brand (no “template-looking” pages)

Technical Requirements

Strong experience with WordPress + Elementor (required)
Comfortable working within an existing site (not building from scratch)
Experience with hosting environments, DNS, and domain configuration
Familiarity with caching, performance optimization, and Core Web Vitals
Experience troubleshooting plugin conflicts and site errors
Understanding of form tools, payment integrations, and event pages

Nice to Have (But Valuable)

Experience integrating or working alongside studio management systems (e.g., Studio Pro or similar)
Familiarity with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager
Conversion optimization mindset (not just design—what actually drives sign-ups)
Ability to recommend improvements, not just execute tasks

Working Style

Quick turnaround on updates (same-day or next-day when needed)
Proactive—flags issues and suggests improvements without being asked
Clear, direct communication
Comfortable in a fast-moving, pre-launch/growth environment

Engagement Details

Ongoing freelance role (hourly or monthly retainer)
Flexible workload with spikes around events, announcements, and launches
Long-term opportunity as site and business scale
