basic web development. This role sits at the intersection of web engineering,
AI-assisted content production, and digital marketing execution. You will own

pages to booking integrations, CRM connectors, and performance-optimised web
assets.

    all four Elaris branches

  • Manage themes, plugins, page builders (Elementor / Divi),

2.
Landing Page Development

3.
AI-Assisted Development and Content Production


  • Use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, etc.) to
    accelerate HTML, CSS, and PHP code generation

  • Generate and optimise AI images using tools such as
    Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, or DALL-E for landing pages, banners, and
    promotional assets

  • Stay current with AI tooling that can reduce production
    time and improve output quality

  • Ability to prompt-engineer effectively for both code and
    visual generation tasks


4.
PHP Development and Custom Functionality


  • Write and maintain custom PHP scripts for WordPress
    functionality

  • Integrate and maintain APIs including Meta
    (Facebook/Instagram), Google Ads, WhatsApp Business, CRM platforms, and booking

  • Support the WhatsApp AI booking agent (Layla) with any
    web-layer integrations via respond.io

  • Maintain data flow integrity between WordPress, CRM, and
    reporting dashboards


6.
UI/UX Design and Visual Execution


  • Apply UI/UX principles to all web assets - wireframing,
    layout hierarchy, typography, and colour consistency aligned with the Elaris
    brand

  • Use tools such as Figma or Adobe XD to prototype pages
    before development

  • Ensure all designs meet luxury brand standards
    appropriate for a premium salon audience in Dubai

    alignment for paid and organic campaigns
