Web Designer / User Experience Designer
We are redesigning and rebuilding our blogs, social networks, and other web sites. We're looking for a talented designer/user experience expert who can:
1. Create a clean, bright, consistent look for our brand and sites
2. Build a sensible user experience and simple navigation to help users find their way through a ton good content
3. Code the design on the right choice of open-source publishing platforms for the job (probably WordPress)
You're going to stabilize our brand look, improve the graphics, add new features, and make it easier to use. 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). You'll look forward to testing different platforms, figuring out which tool is best for the job, skinning it to fit our brand, and hacking it up a bit to be just right. Then you're going to build something new every month or so: A new blog, a community, a cool mailing, or whatever's hot.
The end goal is a unified publishing platform that can support 20 blogs, 10 events, and 10 communities, and supporting content with clarity and simplicity. Look at MarketingProfs, FreelanceSwitch, or the old 9 Rules to get a sense of where we're going.
This is an opportunity to do it like it should be done. No legacy site with bad code to worry about, a team that appreciates great design and experience, where even the admin has read Zeldman. We're doing this right!
