Web Designer/Developer - Marketing Strategist

Full-Time

Primarily Virtual | Candidate must be located in central Indiana

At Elevated Marketing Solutions, we help businesses grow by continuously improving their digital presence.

Sometimes that means designing and building a brand-new website.

More often, it means improving an existing website, increasing search visibility, implementing better tracking, solving technical challenges, connecting marketing tools, and helping every part of a client’s digital marketing work together.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys both the creative and technical sides of marketing. Someone who likes figuring things out, isn’t afraid of new technology, and gets excited about solving problems.

If you’re naturally curious and enjoy learning how websites, SEO, AI, analytics, advertising, and marketing technology work together, we’d love to meet you.

About the Role

This role is centered around improving websites and the technology that supports modern marketing. You must understand marketing first and how that related to websites.

You’ll design new websites when needed, but you’ll also spend time improving existing websites, implementing SEO and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), configuring analytics and conversion tracking, integrating marketing platforms, troubleshooting technical issues, and researching new solutions for our clients.

Technology changes constantly. We don’t expect you to know every platform or every tool. We do expect you to enjoy learning, researching, testing, and solving technical challenges.

Responsibilities

Website Design, Development & Continuous Improvement

You will be responsible for:

• Designing and developing WordPress websites, primarily using the Avada theme

• Improving existing websites through ongoing enhancements, redesigns, and optimization

• Creating landing pages for marketing campaigns

• Improving website usability, accessibility, navigation, and conversion paths

• Recommending website improvements based on client goals and performance data

• Maintaining websites through updates, security, backups, and ongoing support

• Troubleshooting website issues, plugin conflicts, hosting concerns, and technical problems

• Testing websites across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices

• Supporting website launches, migrations, and platform updates when needed

SEO, AEO & Website Performance

Every website we manage should support search visibility, AI search, and measurable marketing performance.

You will be responsible for:

• Implementing technical SEO best practices

• Optimizing websites for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

• Structuring websites and content for AI-driven search experiences

• Implementing schema markup and structured data

• Improving Core Web Vitals, page speed, accessibility, and mobile usability

• Monitoring Google Search Console and identifying opportunities for improvement

• Managing Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, key events, and conversion tracking

• Troubleshooting indexing, crawl, redirect, and technical SEO issues

• Reviewing analytics and recommending improvements based on data

Team Collaboration

You’ll collaborate with our strategists and specialists to support:

• Website strategy
• SEO
• Content strategy
• Email marketing
• Paid advertising
• Analytics and reporting
• Conversion optimization
• AI implementation
• Ongoing client growth

Experience

We’re generally looking for candidates with several years of professional experience in website design, development, or technical marketing.

However, experience is only one part of the equation.

If you’ve built great websites, solved challenging technical problems, and can demonstrate a strong ability to learn, adapt, and think strategically, we’d like to hear from you.

The Kind of Person We’re Looking For

The best fit for this role is someone who:

• Enjoys solving technical problems
• Is naturally curious
• Learns new software without being asked
• Pays attention to details
• Takes ownership of their work
• Is resourceful and persistent
• Communicates well with clients and teammates
• Enjoys both creative and technical work
• Is excited about AI and the future of marketing
• Understands that no one knows everything, but the best marketers never stop learning

Preferred Experience

Experience with the following is beneficial:

• WordPress (Avada Theme)
• Technical SEO/AEO
• Google Analytics 4
• Google Tag Manager
• Google Search Console
• Schema markup
• Website performance optimization
• Marketing automation platforms
• CRM integrations
• Website hosting and DNS management

You don’t need experience with every platform on this list. We care far more about your ability to learn than your familiarity with a specific piece of software.

Experience with video editing is a plus. While this isn’t the primary focus of the role, you’ll have opportunities to edit short-form marketing videos, podcasts, tutorials, and social media content. Experience with Descript, Camtasia, or similar video editing software is beneficial.

How to Apply

Please complete the application form on the website.

If you apply through LinkedIn or another job board, you’ll still need to complete our website application.

Attention to detail matters, and following the application instructions is part of our hiring process.

Please include:

• Your resume
• A portfolio of websites you’ve designed, developed, or improved
• Examples of technical challenges you’ve solved
• Examples of improvements you’ve made to existing websites
• A brief explanation of how you stay current with changes in digital marketing, websites, SEO, AI, or marketing technology
