Drupal Developer freelance telecommute job

We are a busy web design & SEO company looking for a freelance Drupal website developer to work in an ongoing role creating high quality Drupal websites. This is a telecommute / work from home vacancy for someone with strong Drupal web development skills. We have 2 positions – one for a fluent French speaker and one for a fluent English speaker.

We currently have more work than we can physically deal with and we anticipate the work increasing over time. We’re therefore looking for someone who can start soon.

Essential Drupal web development skills include:

  • An extensive understanding of the Drupal CMS.
  • Good communication skills, a team player with a creative and open approach who can follow a detailed brief. Someone with high standards who strives for excellence.
  • Installing and configuring the Ubercart ecommerce modules in Drupal
  • Good CSS skills (if theming isn't your strong point, that's OK, as we have themers already in the company).
  • Good understanding of HTML.
  • Good PHP and MySQL.
  • Great understanding of a wide range of Drupal modules for complex websites, such as e-commerce stores, property portals, discussion forums.
  • Good knowledge of configuring permissions for interactive websites.
  • Understanding of Drupal CCK (Content Construction Kit) and Views
  • Basic on-site SEO skills (writing and structuring a website for search engines). Training in this can be provided if required.
  • Being able to accurately state how long a project will take when provided with a detailed spec.
  • Fluent English OR French (we have both English and French clients and while a bilingual web developer would be a bonus, we anticipate offering a telecommuting vacancy to 2 candidates, one French and one English).
  • An understanding of best practice in Drupal (e.g. using Blocks, not putting things in templates, etc.)

NB, If your first language is French, please write to us in French, not English.

Desirable skills include:

Having any of the following skills would be a bonus:

  • Knowledge of other web design packages (including Dreamweaver and OS Commerce).
  • Flash animation.
  • Custom Drupal module development.

We are happy to hear from candidates anywhere in the world, however if you're in the European time zone, then this would be a bonus.

This is a freelance role and we will provide a detailed project spec at the start of each project and ask you to quote for a given project. We pay all invoices within 2 weeks of receipt. Please include in your covering email / letter details of your anticipated hourly cost that you would use when preparing quotes.

We are looking to find a freelance Drupal web designer / developer on a telecommute / work from home basis who will become a valued member of the 1 Website Designer team.

The Vacancy

We (www.1websitedesigner.com) are looking for a long term working relationship with someone where initially we will liase with the clients and pass instructions on to you, however after we have worked together for a relatively short period of time, we would anticipate you dealing directly with clients.

The nature of website design is that it is highly varied, however we would anticipate this vacancy including a fair amount of Drupal programming, installing and configuring Ubercart and some work on larger projects involving more complex website configuration. If you are talented with SEO, (particularly French SEO), it’s also likely to involve on-site SEO work. (We already have something in place for off-site SEO).

This is a telecommute / work from home opportunity, with no travel required. As a freelance Drupal website designer, you will simply need your own computer (either a PC or a Mac) and a reliable internet connection. We are based in London UK and Languedoc-Roussillon, South France and have an international team of web designers and developers.

Websites could be for any industry, including but not limited to:

  • Artists
  • Web Design
  • Sports
  • Holidays and travel
  • Charities
  • Transport

Job Applications

Please list at least 2 Drupal websites you have designed or worked on in your application, including your specific role in their development. If you have created websites using Ubercart and/or have good SEO skills, please mention this explicitly.

If you are French speaking, you are very welcome to apply for the job in French. We would welcome a candidate who speaks fluent French and basic English. If English is your first language, please apply to the Drupal web design vacancy in English.

Please email vacancies@1websitedesigner.com with a resume and covering letter to apply for this freelance position.

In your covering letter, please let us know:

  • The date you are available to start.
  • How many years experience you have in Drupal.

  • At least 2 different Drupal websites you've worked on and your specific role in their creation.
  • Your current salary and how much you would charge per hour (in Euros, USD or GBP)
