Frontend Developer Next.js & WordPress £45,000 Birmingham If you enjoy building slick, modern websites without being chained to legacy codebases or endless ticket queues, keep reading. We’re working with a small but mighty Birmingham digital agency that consistently punches above its weight. Their sites are sharp, fast, and handcrafted — no page builders, no shortcuts. This is proper development: custom WordPress builds, headless CMS setups, and sleek Next.js front-ends with smart UX baked in. They’re after a developer who’s confident in both WordPress and Next.js, writes clean code, and doesn’t need a hand-holding project manager breathing down their neck. What you’ll be doing: * Building bespoke websites with custom WordPress themes and plugins * Shipping polished React/Next.js front-ends for high-traffic sites * Collaborating closely with designers and other devs to refine ideas and deliver stunning work * Occasionally tinkering with PHP or DNS/config when things go sideways * Helping shape their dev process, tools, and workflow — your voice will count You’ll need to know: * WordPress (themes, templates, plugins — not just the dashboard) * React & Next.js * HTML5, SCSS, JavaScript (ES6), Tailwind (or similar) * Gulp/Webpack, Twig, GraphQL * Git, and ideally some cPanel or WHM experience * A keen eye for accessibility, performance, and SEO You’ll fit right in if you: * Have worked in a digital agency or fast-paced studio before * Take pride in writing clean, readable code * Enjoy collaborating with designers to make mockups pixel-perfect * Don’t wait for a 10-page brief before getting started * Are happy to speak up, suggest improvements, and experiment with new tools
