Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:31:22 -0400 White Stone Marketing: Senior Web Designer, Developer and CSS Guru No need to move work from anywhere! [New Window]
Location: Colorado Springs URL: http://www.whitestonemarketing.comABOUT US AND THE JOB:Wanted: Absolutely Awesome Web DesignerWe’re looking for a full time (work from home or your office) web designer but you’ve got to be awesome! Quite frankly, we dont care where you work, when you work or even what you wear to work just dont turn on your web cam if youre not dressed ;-)Web Designers are a dime a dozen. Great web designers are rare and we’re looking for one to join our team.The best candidate for the job would possess the following personality, skills, experience and wizardry.PERSONALITY:Have a firm grasp on the English language. Don’t make me learn your language — I have enough trouble with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.Be awesome at what you do and know it. Confidence with a little arrogance is a nice mix. If you’re humble, we’ll make an exception but don’t make a habit out of it. Humble people arent generally experts.Must be able to follow detailed specifications — even when I ramble.Must be smart enough to tell me when there’s a better way than what’s on the specifications.Must be wise enough to tell me when I’m in a good mood.Must be easy to work with and do your own beta testing. Finding errors is your job. Trust me, you don’t want me to find the errors for you.SKILLS:Use industry standard tools (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Flash, etc.). If you’ve got something better, make your argument.Know HTML, CSS, JavaScript (and jQuery), Flash, specs, standards, code validation and cross-browser/platform issues inside out.Have a working knowledge of using video in Flash, hosting video, YouTube, etc.Know how to use a spell checker. We’ve had these fun little tools for several decades so if you’re still misspelling words it means you’re lazy. I’m not fond of lazy people so if you are one those people — trick me into thinking you’re not by using a spell checker.Must be very organized and write clean orderly code commented where necessary.Have access to a Windows machine for cross-platform/browser issues. We know you love your Mac but 9 out of 10 people viewing our web sites dont use them.EXPERIENCE:Be able to provide plenty of references related to this type of work. We know you coded a site for your dad’s Star Wars memorabilia collection — anyone else?Have sample online projects you can show me (other than your dad’s).Have a resume so we can see your work history.You can never sub-contract out work to other people. We want to work with one person or one team in the same location. If youre not an expert why are you still reading this?WIZARDRY:Because sites are now comprised of CSS mixed with Flash, Video and JavaScript interconnected with blogs, FaceBook, Twitter, YouTube and now we have to throw smart phones into the discussion, it can get out of hand. Wizardry is simply the ability to understand how all of these pieces of the puzzle work together in a design and to then create these designs.We need a guru on our team!MORE ABOUT US AND THE JOB:For the last fifteen years, weve set the standard for design in our industry. Were now looking to up the game and begin building the next generation of designs. In order to do so, we need not only a talented web designer but also someone who has an understanding of social media, SEO, YouTube, WordPress, etc. Basically, if youre young enough to understand how all the pieces of the Web 2.0 puzzle fit together and can design excellent sites around this model, youre what were looking for.Were generally booked out a year in advance so theres never a shortage of work. We handle most of the client interaction allowing you to do what you do best.Most of our team have been working together for years. What were looking for is someone to take ownership of our design department. More specifically, we have a design coordinator who handles the project management we need the other part handled the real work.If you really read this far you get bonus points. If you take the time to write us a personal response — you get more.If you’re good, we want to know who you are and why you think youre perfect for the job. Send us your web site, email and telephone and if you’re what we’re looking for, we’ll contact you.To apply: Email: jobs@whitestonemarketing.com
