[Hiring] Freelance Web Developer, CMS Support & Troubleshooting @Allied Global Marketing

Role Description

Allied Global Marketing is seeking an experienced freelance web developer to take on occasional website updates, technical issues, and troubleshooting requests for a portfolio of small client and agency websites. The volume of work is expected to be limited and sporadic, making this opportunity best suited for an independent developer with an existing freelance practice.

This is not a fixed-shift or full-time position. Work will be assigned on an as-needed basis, and the contractor will invoice Allied for completed work.

• Deploy website files or updates to a hosting environment
• Restore or revert a website to an earlier working version when appropriate
• Work with Git or another version-control system to review website history and changes
• Coordinate with Allied as needed when an issue requires additional context
• Document completed work, decisions, and any recommended follow-up
• Escalate issues that cannot be safely resolved within the agreed scope or timeframe
• Support small website enhancements, migrations, hosting updates, or other development projects as opportunities arise

Qualifications

• Professional experience supporting and troubleshooting live websites
• Strong working knowledge of HTML and CSS
• Experience working with WordPress
• Familiarity with website hosting, domains, redirects, and file deployment
• Experience using Git or another version-control platform

• Experience with FTP or SFTP
• Experience supporting websites built by other developers
• Experience restoring previous versions of websites or rolling back problematic updates
• Experience working with creative, marketing, or digital agencies
• Experience supporting multiple small websites across different platforms

Engagement Details

• This is an independent contractor opportunity, engaged on a project-by-project basis
• There is no guaranteed minimum number of hours
• The contractor determines where, when, and how the work is performed, subject to the deliverables and deadlines agreed for each assignment
• The contractor will use their own equipment
