We're looking for a:
Web & Print Designer/Producer
I like your work. It's got good clean design. Elegant but simple style. Clean layout and navigation. I assume you did it all yourself. Created the graphics, styled it, grabbed some open source applets.
Can you do the same for us? I've got a great job for you if you can.
We're looking for a webmaster/print designer who can take over our web sites, blogs, and print design. You're going to improve the graphics, stabilize our brand look, add new features, and make it more interesting. Then you're going to build something new every month or so. A new blog. A community. A cool mailing.
You won't be working on any old web site. Our blogs are where bloggers go to debate the future of blogging. Our sites provide the spark that starts the conversation.
You'll be the main creative person in the company, implementing a consistent look and feel across our web sites and print material. When we need outside help, you'll supervise external agencies or freelancers. You will be a core part of our team (not the geek in the basement).
The job:
- Web design and production - 50%: Your primary job will be to manage our web sites, blogs, and emails. Get our content online, out the door, looking great, smartly coded. You'll create and edit Web pages, build new sites, and re-style off-the-shelf applications (like blogs and shopping carts).
- Graphic design and production - 30%: Develop a fantastic and consistent brand look and implement it across various media, including print marketing material, reports, PowerPoint, flyers, etc. We value a super-clean, white-spaceful, bold-primary-colorful look. Think Gap/Crate & Barrel/Apple, but with some splashes of color. We work mostly in Adobe Creative Suite.
- Web development - 20%: Maintain our web server, install new programs, test new software. You don't need to be a coder/programmer, but you need to be able to keep things working on a Linux platform. We like to play with open-source tools. Most of the site is driven by Movable Type. The pages are pretty clean CSS (but we like them cleaner). We have fun seeing how far we can take a free piece of software. We're playing with Pligg, Drupal, and Ning.
- If you have a different combination of skills, please do still contact us. We're flexible and will change the job for the right person.
