Web Developer to Migrate Website - Volunteer

Help the Seven Dials Trust future-proof its website by migrating from Joomla to WordPress. We need an experienced volunteer to lead the migration and create a secure, accessible and easy-to-manage site.

What difference will you make?

Our website is an important way for the Seven Dials Trust to share information about the area’s history, heritage and our work with residents, visitors, researchers and the wider public. However, our current Joomla website is becoming increasingly difficult for us to maintain and update.

Moving to WordPress will give us a more flexible and widely supported platform, reducing our reliance on specialist technical knowledge and making it easier to keep the website secure, accessible and up to date in the years ahead.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for someone with good practical experience of WordPress and Joomla, ideally with experience of migrating an existing website from one platform to another.

Most importantly, we need someone who can help us create a website that is sustainable and easy for the Trust and future volunteers to manage. An interest in heritage, community organisations or local history would be welcome, but is not essential.
