WordPress + Elementor Web Designer

# WordPress + Elementor Web Designer (Conversion-Focused, Trades / Local Service) — Part-Time, Long-Term

**Read this whole post before applying. Applications that skip the steps at the bottom will be ignored.**

## About the role

We run two established Australian trade businesses: an electrical services company and a security installation company (CCTV, alarms, intercoms, access control). Both are licensed, insured, and well-reviewed, and both need to convert website visitors and Google Ads clicks into phone calls and form leads.

We are looking for a WordPress and Elementor designer to work with us **long-term on an ongoing retainer**. One designer will handle both brands. You will not be building pretty portfolio sites. You will be building lead machines that load fast, look clean, and convert.

You will work directly with the business owner and the SEO and Google Ads specialist. Clear briefs and fast feedback are part of how we operate.

## What you will do

- Design and build conversion-focused pages in WordPress with Elementor
- Build landing pages for Google Ads campaigns that improve conversions and Quality Score
- Create and improve service pages and suburb pages for local SEO
- Keep everything mobile-first, since most of our traffic is on phones
- Optimise page speed and Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP)
- Place calls to action, click-to-call, forms, and trust signals where they convert
- Test forms, links, and tracking before anything goes live
- Keep both brands visually consistent using the brand kits we provide

## What we are looking for (must-have)

- 5+ years building WordPress sites with Elementor, with **live examples you can show us**
- Real conversion-focused design: CTA placement, trust signals, clean section flow, mobile-first
- Strong page speed discipline (image compression, lightweight builds, no slider bloat)
- Solid understanding of local SEO page structure (service pages, city or suburb pages, headings, internal links, FAQs)
- Clear written English and reliable with deadlines
- Comfortable following clear briefs and working section by section with an owner, SEO, and Ads specialist

## Big bonus (this moves you to the top of the pile)

- Experience with **trades or home service businesses**: electricians, plumbers, HVAC, security, locksmiths, builders
- Experience building **Google Ads landing pages** and understanding message match and Quality Score
- Core Web Vitals and performance tuning experience
- GA4 and Google Tag Manager, or comfort embedding tracking and testing it
- Comfortable using AI tools to work faster (CSS snippets, troubleshooting, drafts) and validating the output before publishing
- Basic HTML and CSS for small adjustments without leaning on plugins

## Tools you will use

WordPress, Elementor Pro, a lightweight theme (Hello or Astra), GA4, GTM, PageSpeed Insights, and a form and tracking setup we will share. Figma or Canva for mockups is a plus.

## Schedule and pay

- Part-time, ongoing retainer with consistent weekly work
- Timezone overlap with Sydney, Australia is required (we are 2 to 3 hours ahead of Philippine time, so this is an easy overlap)
- Probationary rate for the first 30 to 60 days, then an increase based on performance and speed
- Paid regularly via Wise or Payoneer
- No upfront or advance payments. A short **paid test** is required for final candidates before we commit.

This is a long-term role for the right person. We would rather train and keep one reliable designer than churn through many.

## How to apply

Start your message with the word **VOLTAGE** so we know you read the full post. Applications without it will not be opened.

Then send:

1. **2 to 3 live Elementor sites you built** (links, not screenshots). Trades or local service examples preferred.

3. Short answers to these:
- What are the top 5 things you do to keep an Elementor site fast?
- What is different about a landing page built for Google Ads versus a normal service page?
- Have you built service or suburb pages for local SEO before? Give one example.
- Are you comfortable embedding forms and checking that tracking fires correctly?
4. A 1 to 2 minute Loom or video intro is preferred but not required.

We reply to applicants who follow these steps. We look forward to seeing your work.
