KC Web Specialists

Wanted - - Permanent-Part Time Web Developer. Not looking for a high end Web programmer with years of coding and database experience. This job could go full-time.

I’m looking for a Dreamweaver/WordPress guru.

Work from home. Starting pay $19 to $20 an hour.

The “Exact” job specific qualifications are listed below.  Please do not reply to this posting if you do not meet these qualifications 100%. I will train in weak areas but you have to prove you’ve done it. I don’t need a copy of your resume. These requirements are very specific. I don’t want to waste your time in an interview, or mine, if you don’t meet the qualifications, so please read them carefully before responding.

1.     Extensive experience with Dreamweaver, using Dreamweaver’s .dwt Template functionality, CSS, DIV tags, HTML code view, and setting up FTP connections in Dreamweaver. (Building these two sites in Dreamweaver would be a piece of cake for you http://www.bulldogexteriors.com/    http://www.wheelrepairus.com/ 

2.    WordPress experience beyond just using the Dashboard. For example, can you modify the existing .CSS file from the editor because there’s nowhere else in the Dashboard to change the H3 tag color? Can you add a background image to an existing DIV tag, but there’s nowhere in the Dashboard except in the editor to do this. If I asked you to add a phone number to the top of this site http://www.mmbexclusive.com/ and there was no easy place in the Dashboard to do it, you would still be able to do it by modifying the header.php file through WordPress. Each WordPress Theme presents its own editing challenges and you should be able to, given some experienced suggestions, comfortably dig around and get the changes done.

3.     Extensive experience with either Fireworks or Photoshop for simple image manipulation and image/text combinations.

4.     Proven experience transferring domains and hosting from one domain or hosting company to another.

5.    The job is a work from home position, but you must be available by phone during the day Monday thru Saturday.

6.     Ability to talk with clients on the phone or through email. Make rare local (Kansas City) trips to client offices, if need be, to pickup files, images, notes, drawings, etc.

7.     Is a self-directed person once given a project. (This is a specific trait that comes with time after you learn how our company processes work. But I want to feel comfortable that you are someone that doesn’t habitually wait around for someone else to tell you what to do next. Basically you seek out on your own what’s necessary to complete a job.)

8.     Ability to manage multiple Web site projects at the same time. At any given time you will have around 3 to 5 projects on your plate, and you will need to meticulously be able to manage what is going on with each project.

9.     You must have CS4 or CS5 Dreamweaver, and Fireworks or Photoshop installed on your computer.

10.  Ability to finish a complete website, like this, http://www.bulldogexteriors.com/, for a client in 10 to 15 hours. (This is not a job for a graphic artist who’s used to spending 40 to 80 hours per Website. We crank them out quickly, professionally and exactly to the needs of an individual business in a very short period of time.)

My company has been around for almost 5 years and has a reputation in town for being trustworthy, fun, dependable, responsive and quality driven. I’m looking for a key team player that works well in a sometimes hectic environment. At least though you can be hectic at home J

Do not call! Do not send me a copy of your resume! 

Please respond, in email format, to each of the requirements above, and why you feel you would be a good fit for this position.  The work is there for someone who wants it.
