ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Western Protection Alliance provides security, first aid and medical staffing, and labour-dispute services to Canada's mining and remote industrial sectors.
We are looking for a student with practical WordPress experience to help build and launch our redesigned company website.
Our designer has completed the full website design in Figma. You will turn the approved designs into a responsive, functioning WordPress website, connect it to HubSpot and Google Analytics, and then build tools that reduce manual marketing work.
YOUR MAIN PROJECT
Phase 1 — Website launch (first priority)
- Build WordPress pages and reusable templates from finished Figma designs.
- Build a set of province-specific landing pages from one shared template.
- Make all pages work well on desktop, tablet and mobile.
- Connect website and landing-page forms to HubSpot, and test submissions and staff notifications.
- Set up Google Analytics 4 and conversion tracking for form submissions and key actions.
- Fix blog navigation so readers can browse all past posts.
- Preserve existing URLs and set up redirects and basic technical SEO.
- Test in a staging environment, resolve issues and support launch.
- Write simple documentation so WPA staff can maintain the site.
Phase 2 — After launch (remaining hours)
- Automate repetitive HubSpot tasks using HubSpot workflows or its API.
- Build tools to clean up and de-duplicate CRM data.
- If time allows, create simple internal reporting dashboards.
We will agree on the page list, deliverables and milestones before work begins.
WHAT YOU NEED
- Experience building a WordPress website, including a school, personal or freelance project.
- Working knowledge of HTML, CSS and responsive layouts.
- Ability to implement supplied designs accurately.
- Familiarity with WordPress themes, plugins and troubleshooting.
- Clear communication and the ability to complete agreed tasks independently.
Helpful: HubSpot, Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, JavaScript or Python, PHP, or website migrations. You do not need experience with every tool listed.
WORKING ARRANGEMENT
An initial meeting at our Richmond office with our designer and marketing coordinator is preferred. Most development work can then be completed remotely, with scheduled progress reviews.
Scheduling is flexible around classes, provided you can commit approximately 25 hours per week and meet agreed milestones.
WHAT YOU WILL GAIN
- Practical experience building and launching a live business website.
- Direct collaboration with a designer and marketing coordinator.
- Hands-on experience with HubSpot, Google Analytics and marketing automation.
- Completed work that may be included in your portfolio, subject to company approval.
