I’m James, a solo developer running LightningSEO.dev. I build fast, SEO-optimized websites and apps for real clients, and I’ve got a system that’s already getting solid results — now I’m ready to grow with the right people.
I’m looking for motivated developers who are ready to step into the freelance game with me.
⸻
What You’ll Actually Do:
• Apply to freelance gigs, job posts, and project leads as part of a team effort
• Track and organize responses so we can keep things moving
• Shadow me on interviews and client calls — for your experience and mine
• Help with actual delivery when we land jobs (no fake intern tasks here)
• Assist with practical dev work:
• Testing images
• Inputting location/service data
• Making layout and content tweaks
• Adding structured metadata for SEO
The goal is to land work together and deliver it as a team. I’ll teach you the systems I use to move fast, communicate clearly, and build sites that clients are excited about.
⸻
You’ll Fit If You…
• Are post-bootcamp or self-taught with 1–4 years of real coding
• Have an active GitHub that shows full-stack work
• Know your way around HTML, CSS, React, and some backend (Rails preferred, but flexible)
• Are curious about SEO, performance, and building sites that work
• Are reliable, sharp, and interested in growing your freelance/client experience
⸻
Details
• Remote
• Unpaid to start — but once client work starts coming in and you’re contributing, you’ll get paid accordingly
• You’ll learn how to apply strategically, interview with confidence, and deliver clean builds that make a difference
• There’s room to grow into custom apps, larger projects, and ongoing paid work
⸻
To Apply:
Send me:
• A short intro (where you’re at in your dev journey)
• Your GitHub
• One project you’re proud of
• A quick note on why this sounds like the right fit for you
Let’s land some work and build together.
