WordPress Developer (Cape Town)

Our company is looking for a WordPress developer, with the following criteria:

A WordPress developer who can create bespoke themes from scratch using minimal plugins. Please note that page builder plugins do not qualify.

Skills involved, at least at intermediate level of knowledge:

• WordPress CMS and WordPress API
• JavaScript and JQuery
• PHP
• CSS
• HTML
• The developer must be able to accurately follow designs and create intended functionality.

If you’re interested in this opportunity, please send your CV along with the following task submission.

We would like to assess your approach and skills through a small test project. Please build a custom WordPress theme based on the provided XD design (link below), adhering strictly to the following requirements:

Project Guidelines

• Build the design as a zipped-up custom WordPress theme.
• Use a minimalist development approach.
• Make use of the ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) plugin for custom field creation. Please include the custom fields as an export.
• The theme must be bespoke — write all code yourself.
• Important: Please note that the use of page builders (e.g., Elementor, WPBakery), AI-generated code, or pre-built themes is strictly not allowed. We are looking for clean, bespoke code built from the ground up.
• Ensure the build matches the design exactly, including layout, spacing, and styling.
• Include page content as an XML export that can be imported via the WordPress admin.
• Use your own CSS class naming, based on your interpretation of the layout and structure.
