This role involves assembling web pages for a Drupal-to-WordPress migration by using existing custom blocks and design systems. The designer will work with prepared content to build consistent, responsive layouts across multiple WordPress sites.
Our client is migrating multiple web properties from Drupal to WordPress. Our development partner has launched a WordPress multisite infrastructure. Our internal staff have already organized the content - copy and images - for each site. We need someone to sit between those two groups and build the pages:
Taking prepared content and assembling clean, consistent, on-brand layouts using the custom blocks provided. This is a production and layout role rather than a from-scratch visual design role; the design system and block library will already exist.
Key Responsibilities
- Build out pages across multiple WordPress sites using a block-based content editor
- Translate organized content from non-technical staff into polished pages that follow Our client's brand guidelines
- Maintain layout and styling consistency across a high volume of pages and across both sites
- Verify pages render correctly across desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints
- Identify gaps where existing blocks do not cover a layout need and flag to Our client team
- Work directly with Our client stakeholders to review pages, gather feedback, and make revisions
- Track and update progress in a project ticket management tool
Requirements
- Hands-on experience building production pages in the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg, Layout Builder, Elementor, etc), including work with custom or pre- built block libraries
- Strong eye for layout - spacing, typography, visual hierarchy, and responsive behavior
- Demonstrated ability to work with content and media at volume without losing accuracy or consistency
- Comfort working within an established design system rather than creating one
- Self-directed; able to take organized content and move it to a finished page without daily direction
- Great communication skills in English; will be on regular calls with non-technical staff and must be able to explain things plainly
- Comfortable working in the Pacific time zone with substantial daily overlap for review sessions
Nice to Have
- Experience on a Drupal-to-WordPress migration
- Familiarity with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and flexible content layouts
- Experience working alongside an external development agency
- Familiarity with WordPress multisite
- Working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) as applied to page structure
- Basic image optimization and media library management practices
- Experience with Figma or similar for referencing design specs
