Ongoing WordPress Developer Needed (PHP Updates, Plugin Conflicts, UI Fixes)

Hi, I read through your post and looked at the scope. You're not after a one-time fix. You need someone who can keep multiple client sites stable, move fast when something breaks, and actually match designs instead of approximating them. The PHP/plugin conflict work you described is the kind of thing that quietly eats a week if someone doesn't know where to look. I've done this exact pattern dozens of times: staging environment, version compatibility audit, selective plugin updates, fallback plan if something doesn't hold, then UI adjustments once the foundation is solid. Here's how I'd handle the immediate need: 1. Audit the current environment. Document PHP version, active plugins, theme dependencies. Identify conflicts before touching anything. 2. Set up proper staging. Clone the live site, run the PHP update there first, test every plugin and critical page flow. 3. Resolve conflicts methodically. Update compatible plugins, replace or patch incompatible ones, test forms/checkout/any user-facing functionality. 4. Deploy safely. Push changes to production during low-traffic hours with rollback ready. Monitor for 24-48 hours post-launch. 5. UI changes. Match the provided designs exactly. I work primarily in Figma and translate layouts pixel-accurately, whether it's a builder theme or custom. I've been doing WordPress development for 13+ years, and I currently work as an ongoing contractor for a few agencies in similar setups. One of those relationships started exactly like this: PHP update, plugin cleanup, small UI fixes, then steady work across their client base. Recent projects that map to what you're describing: Ongoing WordPress contractor role for Laura B at $85/hr, handling site maintenance, updates, and design implementation across multiple properties Digital marketing site rebuild for Blue Pencil that included RTL Arabic support, custom design matching, and long-term maintenance Lead-gen site build for Mark Greene, full WordPress setup with form integration and pixel-accurate design work I'm available to start immediately and can work 30+ hours/week. Hourly at $85/hr works for me, and I'm open to discussing a retainer once we establish rhythm. One question: do you have staging environments already set up for the client sites, or is that something you'd want me to handle as part of the workflow? Trust, Tai
