Next.js & WordPress Developer

Next.js & WordPress Developer

£40,000-£45,000

If you enjoy building slick, modern websites without being chained to legacy codebases or endless ticket queues, keep reading.

We're working with a small-but-mighty digital agency in Birmingham that punches well above its weight. Their builds are sharp, fast, and not cobbled together with page builders and duct tape. This is proper dev work - custom themes, headless CMS, Next.js front-ends, and smart UX baked into everything.

They're looking for a developer who knows their way around both WordPress and Next.js and React enjoys clean front-end code, and doesn't need to be micromanaged every 10 minutes.

What you'll actually be doing:

• Building bespoke websites using WordPress (custom themes, not off-the-shelf fluff)
• Shipping polished React/Next.js front-ends for high-traffic sites
• Working in a collaborative dev & design team where your input actually matters
• Occasionally dipping into PHP or the odd DNS/config job when things go sideways
• Helping shape how they work - tooling, process, tech choices - not just following SOPs

Tech you should already be friendly with:

• WordPress (proper dev - themes/templates/plugins, not just the admin dashboard)
• Next.js - essential
• React- essential
• HTML5, SCSS, JavaScript (ES6+), Tailwind (or similar)
• Gulp/Webpack, Twig, GraphQL are desirable
• Git (of course), and bonus points if you've touched cPanel or WHM
• An eye for accessibility, performance, and SEO

You'll fit right in if:

• You've worked in a digital agency or fast-paced studio before
• You take pride in your craft and care about clean, readable code
• You don't need a brief 10 pages long to get cracking
• You enjoy working with designers to make sure the final build actually looks like the mockup
• You're not afraid to speak up, suggest improvements, or try new tools

Sound good?

Pop over your CV and portfolio (ideally with a couple of live examples), and I'll happily talk you through the agency, their work, and what they're like to work with.

(And no, they're not one of those "fun" agencies with a beer fridge and burnout culture - just solid people doing great work.)
