WordPress Developer to Convert Figma to Theme
Skills Required
Description
Turning a Figma design into a fully functional WordPress theme requires both precision and creativity. This role is for a developer who understands how to bridge design intent with clean, high-performing code. You’ll take carefully designed mockups and transform them into responsive, pixel-perfect WordPress themes that not only look great but load fast and function seamlessly.
You’ll be working on a live, ongoing project where the focus is on long-term maintainability. Each layout will be optimized for performance, SEO, and user experience. Every pixel and animation should reflect attention to detail, ensuring that the final site mirrors the design as closely as possible.
A strong understanding of WordPress theme development and PHP structure is essential. You’ll build from scratch or extend existing frameworks as needed, ensuring all templates, hooks, and functions follow WordPress standards. Customization and modular design are key to maintaining scalability.
You should also be able to collaborate with designers to clarify UI details and with SEO specialists to ensure code structure supports ranking performance. Page speed, accessibility, and mobile optimization are non-negotiable for this project.
Each deliverable should be tested across browsers and devices, ensuring the same quality across Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. You’ll also handle minor integration with plugins, making sure they’re lightweight and compatible with the theme ...
