Website Designer/Front-end Developer Job Role

We are looking for a candidate with strong web design and front-end development skills to join our talented web team.

We need a great all-rounder with commercial experience of producing websites that not only look great - but have been built with quality user experience and search engine optimisation in mind.

You will be involved in various internal and client projects, so you will have excellent time management, organisation and communication skills. Strong customer skills are also essential - including the ability to explain your ideas and feedback to a client where required.

This is a great opportunity for a motivated, passionate and committed web designer to be a part of a fun and dynamic team.

What will you be doing?

The preferred candidate will have the mixed skill-set of not only being able to integrate well in a team, but also able to work alone and handle (except where there is an involved development requirement) a single small-medium sized project on your own. Your role will include requirement gathering and quoting, wireframes and design, through to website build and sign-off.

You will ideally have strong capabilities in responsive web design using Adobe XD or similar paired with the ability to critique clients existing or proposed solutions and offer ideas based on their project needs.

As well as up to date HTML & CSS skills, the ideal candidate will have experience in working with current content management systems. We currently use Joomla and WordPress for a lot of our CMS work, and whilst experience in these systems is not essential, it is desirable.

We place emphasis on finding the right candidate with the necessary core design and front end development skills.
