We are proud to be working in partnership with a well-established and growing wholesale organisation with over 40 years of success supplying products to major UK and European retailers. Following a recent relocation to a new headquarters in Shropshire, our client is continuing to expand their product ranges, international reach, and digital presence.
As part of their continued growth, they are now seeking an experienced and hands-on Website Developer to join them on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This is a key project-based role where you will take full ownership of building two brand-new websites from the ground up.
The Role:
This is a unique opportunity to lead the full development of two distinct websites:
- A B2B-focused site showcasing wholesale offerings and supporting retailer engagement
- A B2C eCommerce website designed to drive online sales and enhance customer experience
You will be responsible for both front-end development and the underlying structure, ensuring both sites are scalable, user-friendly, and easy to maintain moving forward. This role will suit someone who enjoys working autonomously, shaping digital platforms from concept through to launch.
Working closely with internal stakeholders, including Product Development and Design, you will translate business requirements into functional, high-performing websites that align with the company’s brand and growth strategy.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and launch two new websites (B2B and B2C) from concept to completion
- Build responsive, user-friendly front-end interfaces with strong UX/UI principles
- Develop and implement the back-end structure to support functionality, scalability, and ease of maintenance
- Set up and configure CMS platforms to allow internal teams to update content easily
- Integrate eCommerce functionality including product listings, payments, and order processing
- Ensure both websites are optimised for performance, SEO, and mobile use
- Collaborate with internal teams to gather requirements and translate them into technical solutions
- Work alongside the Graphic Designer to ensure consistent branding and visual identity
- Conduct testing, debugging, and performance optimisation
- Provide documentation and training to internal users for ongoing website management
- Recommend tools, platforms, and technologies to support long-term success
Key Skills & Experience
- Proven experience in website development, ideally delivering full website builds from scratch
- Strong front-end development skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
- Experience with modern frameworks/libraries (e.g. React, Vue, or similar) is advantageous
- Experience with CMS platforms (e.g. WordPress, Shopify, or similar)
- Strong understanding of eCommerce platforms and integrations
- Knowledge of UX/UI best practices and responsive design
- Experience with SEO principles and website performance optimisation
- Ability to build scalable, maintainable back-end structures
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to liaise with non-technical stakeholders
Additional Requirements
- Own transport is essential due to the rural location
- The role is fully office based; therefore the client is looking for someone based locally
- Comfortable working in a fully office-based environment
- Ability to manage a project independently and take full ownership of delivery
- Experience working in a B2B and/or wholesale environment is advantageous
What We Offer
- Opportunity to lead and deliver a high-impact digital transformation project
- Autonomy to shape and build two key business platforms from the ground up
- Working within a stable, growing, and well-established organisation
- A collaborative environment with real input into business development
- Potential for future opportunities beyond the initial contract
