Dear Hiring Manager,

I am an accomplished, creative web and graphic design professional with 25+ years experience developing and administering optimized WordPress websites and print graphic assets on a wide variety of platforms for long-term clientele. I would like to be considered for the Web Administrator and Developer position that is listed on Indeed.com.

Having been working with WordPress since 2009, I’m skilled in nearly every aspect of WordPress design, production, and management. I utilize a variety of applications (Adobe CC), technologies (PHP, HTML, CSS, jQuery, JavaScript, SQL), software services (Postmark, Mailchimp), custom code, and plugins to deliver highly-effective WordPress website solutions that meet project goals and exceed expectations.

In addition to WordPress development, I am experienced in many of the server-related aspects of website administration including backup, recovery, email, performance, security, and proactive maintenance. I apply my problem solving skills and knowledge of SSH, FTP, CLI, Apache, MySQL, and DNS to effectively manage, troubleshoot, and administer WordPress sites in a variety of hosting and server environments.

All of my technical skills would mean little if I didn’t have the graphic design skills to make them look good too. Skilled using a variety of software tools, including Adobe CC, I have created brand identities, cohesive marketing collateral, advertising, and other assets for print and screen that have deepened brand engagement for my clients in the long-term.

I invite you to view my resume and visit my online portfolio at https://designerChad.info/owv314 to browse through some of my work. I hope you will find that I am a qualified candidate for your Web Admin position and I would be excited for the opportunity to join your team.
