OPPORTUNITY
Modern Animal is seeking a Website Development Intern to support a major initiative: rebuilding a large number of existing WordPress websites into the Wix platform. This is an excellent opportunity for a student or emerging professional with an interest in website development, design, and digital storytelling.
You will work closely with our team to transition well-established sites into fresh, easy-to-navigate Wix designs. Content, images, and structural templates are already in place-your job will be to thoughtfully migrate, format, and polish the pages so that each site is elevated in design and clarity.
We will pay a flat rate of $400 per completed site, with an estimated 15 hours of work per site.
This is a remote contractor role with a flexible schedule.
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES
- Rebuild existing websites from WordPress to Wix using provided templates and site assets
- Lightly edit existing content to improve readability and presentation

- Comfortable with project management tools like Asana (or willing to learn)

COMPENSATION:
- Flat Rate: $400 per site completed (paid as 1099 contractor)
- Estimated time per site: the majority of websites will take ~15 hours (with a minority taking as little as 10 or as much as 20 hours.)
- Monthly earnings potential: If you complete 3 websites per week, you can earn up to $4,800 per month. If you are willing to work extra hard by completing 4 websites per week, you can earn up to $6,400 per month. Of course, this also depends on the client's speed in providing materials and approving deliverables.
- Project duration: With a start date of August 18, 2025, and a pace of 3 websites per week, the project is expected to conclude by December 13, 2025.
