Website Maintenance Developer (Webflow, Wordpress, Custom)

Avengr is a small web design and digital marketing studio based in Franklin, Tennessee. We build mostly in Webflow, and we look after about 25 client websites on monthly care plans. We're hiring a developer to own the day-to-day side of that: keeping those sites live, updated, and fast, so the rest of the team can stay focused on new builds. The right person has built plenty of sites and has a good eye, but is a developer at heart and actually likes the check-ins, cleanups, and troubleshooting. You stay on top of recurring tasks without being reminded, you catch things that could be better and say so, and you make sure everyone on the team knows what's going on. What you'll own The daily request queue: content updates, CMS items, blog posts, image swaps, team bios, etc. Monthly care plan checks on every site: platform and plugin updates, form tests, broken links, image optimization, backups, PageSpeed Troubleshooting when something breaks: critical errors, plugin conflicts, forms that stop delivering, DNS issues, slow pages Uptime monitoring, backups, and host transfers Technical SEO and AI search (AEO) fixes from Ahrefs and HubSpot audits Recommendations when you spot something that could perform better A clear write-up and time entry on every task in Asana or BugHerd, so our project manager can report to the client In a given week that means Webflow, WordPress (SiteGround, WP Engine), Cloudflare, GitHub, Vercel, Google Tag Manager, GA4, Search Console, form tools like Basin and Mailgun, and a long tail of others.
