About Full Spectrum Marketing (FSM):

Chase the Afterglow With Us

We are driven by honing a craft and delivering work that is worthy of the win—first for our clients, and ultimately for ourselves. This means we work hard every day in the spirit of chasing the afterglow—that feeling of rest and celebration that comes after a job well done. This driving force becomes our reality through discipline and attention to our core values.

Position Summary

FSM is seeking a WordPress Developer to join our in-house web team. We utilize visual frameworks to empower our clients for future updates, but our internal development process is code-centric. This role is responsible for developing, customizing, and maintaining high-performance websites, ensuring they are optimized for performance, accessibility, and user experience.

You will be responsible for translating high-fidelity Figma designs into responsive websites while adhering to modern front-end best practices and agency coding standards.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Build and maintain WordPress websites using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, using the Divi framework (or a similar framework) as a structural starting point.
• Implement clean, semantic CSS through child theme stylesheets. You avoid fragile, auto-generated builder classes in favor of descriptive, reusable naming conventions.
• Extend WordPress capabilities by developing custom PHP shortcodes and functions, ensuring all logic is properly documented and follows security best practices.
• Precisely translate Figma designs into functional websites, maintaining design integrity and responsiveness across all breakpoints.
• Maintain website health by optimizing for Core Web Vitals, code minification, and efficient asset loading.
• Ensure all web builds meet WCAG accessibility standards.
• Manage and troubleshoot websites within high-performance, Nginx-based WordPress hosting environments, utilizing browser developer tools and server logs for debugging.

Required Experience & Skills

• Strong foundation in HTML5, CSS3 (Flexbox/Grid), JavaScript, and PHP.
• 2–5+ years of experience in WordPress development, including child theme customization.
• Experience with visual builders is helpful, but you must be comfortable writing custom code to overcome builder limitations. Experience with custom theme development is a plus.
• Proven ability to work from Figma or similar design tools to ensure high-fidelity design implementation.
• Commitment to writing clean, well-documented, and maintainable code following industry and agency-specific naming conventions.
• A commitment to continuous learning in a fast-evolving field.

Work Schedule & Location

This is a Hybrid role. Candidates must be within driving distance of our office in Downtown Akron, OH.
