CMS Developer / Web Developer (Independent Contractor)

At Huzzle, we connect exceptional talents with top opportunities at leading companies across the UK, US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Our clients include startups, digital agencies, and tech platforms in industries such as SaaS, MarTech, FinTech, and EdTech.

The Role

We’re looking for a hands-on CMS Developer / Web Developer with professional experience building, customizing, maintaining, and troubleshooting websites.

You should have strong practical experience with at least one of WordPress, Shopify, or Wix. Experience across multiple platforms is a plus, but not required.

This role is ideal for a developer who combines strong CMS expertise with solid HTML/CSS and JavaScript skills, understands responsive web development and SEO fundamentals, and can independently diagnose and resolve website issues.

• Troubleshoot broken layouts, plugins, apps, integrations, forms, and other website issues.
• Implement website improvements focused on performance, page speed, usability, and reliability.
• Apply technical and on-page SEO best practices.
• Integrate third-party tools, analytics platforms, forms, marketing tools, and other web services.
• Collaborate with designers, marketers, and other team members to turn concepts into functional webpages.
• Maintain website content and functionality while ensuring a consistent, high-quality user experience.
• Identify technical issues proactively and recommend practical solutions.
• Manage multiple web development tasks independently while meeting deadlines.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional CMS or web development experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with at least one of:

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with website performance and page-speed optimization.
• Understanding of technical and on-page SEO fundamentals.
• Experience converting designs or wireframes into functional webpages.
• Familiarity with third-party integrations, forms, analytics, and marketing tools.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently.
• Strong professional English communication skills.
• Comfortable working remotely with distributed teams.

Nice to Have:
