Overview
We are seeking a skilled and experienced WordPress Developer to finalize, optimize, and troubleshoot our delivery service website.

A crucial task is resolving technical issues related to a recent .com domain name change, assisting with sitemap creation, and submitting the updated sitemap to Google Search Console.
