Dear Hiring Manager,

I would like to be considered for the WordPress web designer position.

I am an accomplished web and graphic design professional with 25+ years experience producing strategic web and graphic assets on a wide variety of platforms for long-term clientele. Through my expertise in design, production, management, SEO, website marketing, and best practices I have helped many of them reach their ultimate business goals: retirement.

As many of my long term clients transition into a new phase of their lives, it is now my desire to put my skills to work for one company. I am a dedicated, creative and analytical thinker and aim to help achieve company goals and quickly grow into additional responsibilities.

I have extensive experience using web and graphic technologies to delivery effective communications on-brand and on-time. I enjoy developing technology solutions to increase business efficiency, streamline processes, and sometimes just make tasks easier to accomplish. Problem solving and troubleshooting are definitely my cup of tea, and I always welcome a challenge.

My love affair with WordPress began in 2009 when I decided to transition my efforts from the continued development of my own CMS to WordPress. Skilled in nearly every aspect of WordPress production, I utilize a variety of plugins, themes, custom code, and other software services to deliver effective WordPress websites that meet scope and exceed expectations.

I invite you to view my resume and visit my online portfolio at https://designerchad.info/ec44 to browse through some of my work. You’ll find that I am acutely qualified for the Web Designer position and I would be excited for the opportunity to join your team.

Sincerely,

Chadwick Anderson
