Senior Web Designer and Developer

Job Summary

Plain Media LLC is a business consulting service and creative agency in Salt Lake City, Utah. We work one on one implementing robust digital systems for small businesses. We set up VOIPs, CRMs, Marketing Campaigns, Develop Websites, Handle Media Buying, and offer Executive Admin & Lead Answering Services.

We are hiring a senior web developer to help us build client marketing sites, copywrite, and create graphics.

You’ll work directly with one of our marketing consultants that has been working one-on-one with the client. You will never have to work with the client. You always work with a consultant who understands web development & marketing and can get you the information that you need.

What we typically do is we decide on hosting, CMS or no CMS, and how we’re building it. Then we’ll design the home page, service page template, area service page template, amongst a couple other key pages, and land on copy direction after we’ve completed keyword research and finished URL mapping. For clients with an existing site we treat it on a case-by-case basis. We tend to recommend a new build (with proper redirects)

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Build fast, clean marketing sites in WordPress or a modern JS framework (React, Astro, Next)
• Plan site structure and URL mapping BEFORE a single page gets built
• Collaborate and write/optimize on-page copy: titles, metas, H1s, service pages, FAQs
• Handle local SEO fundamentals: service area pages, NAP consistency, schema markup
• Do keyword research and turn it into a real page map
• Use CSS animation to guide attention, not to decorate
• Build content-heavy, skimmable pages that answer the questions real customers actually ask
• Set up tracking and security: GA4, Search Console, GTM, Meta Pixel, reCAPTCHA / Cloudflare Turnstile
• Integrate CRM, build lead magnets and email marketing integrations.

• Landing pages and detailed GTM

• Custom tools, Mega Menus, and WOW elements.

MUST HAVE
- Senior-level front end: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- WordPress AND at least one modern JS framework (React, Astro, or Next)
- Strong CSS animation skills
- On-page SEO and local SEO experience you can prove with live URLs & performance metrics
- Copywriting in excellent written English - headlines, service pages, CTAs that convert, PROPER HTML structure
- A real understanding of consumer psychology: why people hesitate, what makes them trust a local business, what makes them pick up the phone and how we design based on those emotions. This is the piece we care about most. Anyone can build a page. We need someone who knows why a page works and how to accomplish the sites goal.

NICE TO HAVE
- Advanced digital marketing experience for local businesses
- Ahrefs, Semrush, or BrightLocal experience
- CRM integration, landing pages, lead magnets
- Custom embeddable widgets and calculators
- A CMS setup that lets non-technical clients edit their own content
- RankMath SEO Pro experience

ABOUT AI
You are welcome to use AI to build and we encourage it! We use Claude Code on most of our projects. But AI only multiplies what you already know. If you do not have a foundational grasp of proper site structure, a eye for creative and buyer psychology on your own, the output shows it immediately - and we will notice. We have a chief developer that monitors output, chat history, security & integrity and work closely with you to align on direction.

THE DETAILS
- Project Based
- Hourly rate depending on skill, PLUS per-project bonuses tied to results
- Paid on time, every time
- Hours and pay grow as our client load grows
