Website Designer
We are looking for a talented website designer to join our team.
You will mostly be designing new websites for our clients. They range from small business sites to ecommerce, to municipal, and everything in between. See our portfolio for some examples. We also provide template-based sites for smaller businesses so you will also be involved in designing new themes.
We're open to the tools that you'd use to design website whether it's Photoshop, XD, Figma, Sketch, or something else. Our focus is on your work, not the tools you use.
Ideally you will also have some experience with HTML and CSS. Javascript is a plus. We feel that a good designer is familiar with the medium they are designing for (browsers) can can actually build a website. You don't have to be a super-star front-end developer, but you should at least be able to build something that works.

If you're passionate about the web and enjoy the challenges of developing websites, then we'd like you to join our team.
Apply
You will be responsible for developing interfaces for client websites. A typical day would have you working on new HTML/CSS/Javascript layouts for websites. We utilize NPM, gulp, and build scripts in our daily work so experience with Node.js, npm, gulp and PostCSS is desired.
You will also be part of building out new websites with content provided by our clients as well as making updates and improvements to existing client websites. Because most of our clients use our CMS, you'll be using it a lot to build and edit their websites.
Experience with developing responsive websites is a must as all of the sites that we build are mobile-friendly and utilize responsive design techniques.
You should also have experience with Javascript, jQuery and jQuery plugins. However, being able to write your own Javascript code without relying upon jQuery is ideal. Not every project has it, but some projects require a lot of custom Javascript.
We use a custom framework called Cacao for almost all of our websites. It's based on Suit CSS and enables us to have a consistent starting point for new websites.
Design experience is a bonus. Our approach to design is to "design in the browser". If this fits with you definitely let us know.
Tell us about you.
