Part-Time Website Developer & SEO Specialist

This is not a one-time freelance project. We have an ongoing portfolio of websites, vacation rentals, businesses, and undeveloped domains that need to be built, improved, optimized, and maintained.
What You'll Do

• Build and improve websites using Squarespace, Hostinger, WordPress, and other best-of-class no-code/low-code tools
• Maintain our company and related business websites
• Build and improve vacation-rental websites, including booking links, maps, forms, email capture, and social profiles
• Develop unused domains into content-focused websites
• Build landing pages for future Meta and Google advertising
• Handle technical and on-page SEO
• Optimize site structure, metadata, internal linking, page speed, mobile performance, and indexing
• Manage domains, DNS, redirects, SSL, subdomains, and hosting
• Maintain GA4, Google Search Console, Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, and conversion tracking
• Troubleshoot website and integration problems
• Provide a short website/SEO performance report once per month

Our team will help create content. This is not a copywriting position.
Who We're Looking For
You should have strong experience with website development, responsive design, SEO, domains/DNS, analytics, and troubleshooting.
You must be able to work independently. We want to give you an objective and have you determine how to accomplish it.
Our philosophy is:
Build it well. Keep it simple. Make it fast and maintainable. Get it launched. Move on to the next priority.
We prefer no-code/low-code solutions and do not want unnecessary custom development.
Good visual judgment is also important. You should be able to create clean, professional websites without needing detailed design instructions.
We encourage the intelligent use of AI tools to work faster and more efficiently.
