Web Master / WordPress support

Hi there, Nick here from Design Hero!

I’m looking for a long-term partnership with a multi-talented web master to manage, maintain and create websites for Design Hero.

— About Design Hero (a.k.a Nick)
I’m a very easy person to work with,
I’m highly flexible on deadlines, deliverables and working times,
I’m always there to provide feedback, a helping hand or do a bit of teaching if necessary
I work successfully with many freelancers in this way
I vet my clients just as carefully as I do my freelancers.
I make sure my freelancers have enough time, budget and latitude to achieve a good outcome.

Design Hero is not interested in producing cookie cutter websites, or just customizing the colours and content of an “off the shelf” theme.

I’ve had a lot of timewasters in my search for a web design partner, including people mispresenting their skill level, or showing portfolios that aren’t wholly their own.
So I’m not usually such a hardass, but in the interest of not wasting each other’s time, I’ll say you should be confident you meet ALL the requirements below,
and be sure to provide specific answers to ALL the vetting questions ????

— List of Essential requirements

Any partner Design Hero works with must be fully confident in ALL the below…

• I’m looking to work directly with ONE individual to establish a strong line of communication and working flow, not an agency.
• MUST have a minimum of 2 hours per day within 9am-5pm UK time. (doesn’t need to be every day)
• MUST be totally fluent in English reading, writing, speaking and listening.
• Be able to take initiative on the design of the website based on provided examples
• Using Elementor ( we use elementor for all our websites so must be very proficient.)
• Using Elementor Site Settings to design on a site-wide level
• Using Elementor theme builder to build websites from scratch, including headers, footers, page templates and loops
• Using plugins such as – Advanced Custom Fields, Custom Post Types, Anywhere • Elementor and Ele Custom Skin
• Using Woocommerce
• Knowledge of CSS isn’t strictly essential, but would sure be useful!
• Driving a project forward on your own initiative.

— List of Additional requirements

It would be handy if you can also help with the following:

• server / Cpanel management
• setting up domain DNS
• website migrations
• setting up emails SMTP settings, MX records etc.

— Typical things I’ll ask you to do

• set up a website from a preinstall
• migrate a website
• set up email addresses and test
• debug WordPress errors
• Make changes to text and content on websites (built on WordPress / Elementor / Woocommerce )
• debug email issues
• set up domain DNS records
• set up websites via Cpanel

Phew, that’s a lot I know! ???????? But if this sounds like you, then read on!

— Vetting Q’s

• How do you get ideas for each website, are there any particular sites you use for inspiration?
• Please provide a video recording such as a Loom of your portfolio, or support services you have provided
• How much would you charge per hour?

— How it works

We would try a few smaller one-off jobs first,
Then if we’re a good fit we can agree on a fixed monthly retainer for flexible ongoing work.

— If this sounds like you

The key is it has to be a win-win for both of us!
if you’re confident you meet all the above can you send me your response to the vetting Qs above via a video recording
