Job Description
The Front End Web Designer will be responsible for creative content management design and ongoing website maintenance, building clean, professional and modern law firm websites and landing pages that convert visitors into leads. This role is design-focused and requires no coding experience, however foundational understanding of CSS and HTML is a plus. We are looking for a creative designer interested in executing front end web projects, directly applying their creativity to websites during the build process. A strong eye for design, organized workflow, and ability to multi-task is essential. In addition, this role will manage all website projects from beginning to end, coordinating with the copywriting, SEO and Design departments to bring all web designs across the finish line.
Essential Functions
- Designing & Building Websites and Landing Pages: You will be designing & building templated websites as well as custom websites in Webflow. Using Webflow’s visual drag and drop content management system, you will create unique, aesthetically exciting websites that reflect the clients’ brand while adhering to our high quality standards.
- Ongoing Hosting & Maintenance: Our client relationships don’t end when the website launches. Our clients will submit post-launch update requests that you will vet for clarity and scope, make recommendations on, and ultimately execute. Additionally, clients may need assistance with hosting or domain issues that this role will be responsible for troubleshooting.
- Creative Direction: Conceptualizing page layouts, animations and user interactions are critical to successful website projects. You will provide clients with suggested color palettes, typography pairings, and high-level page layouts prior to full build-out.
- Quality Assurance: You ensure that your own work and that of your peers is branded appropriately for each client, accurate, and high-quality. From reviewing appropriate padding, alignment and animation execution to testing mobile device responsiveness, you will always strive for an aesthetic that is fresh and effective.
- Marketing Strategy: You will make recommendations on design, conversion opportunities, and user experience to make the most of a client’s marketing package. You will participate in client kick-off calls and speak directly with the end client. You think critically and make judgments in the best interest of the website visitor.
Core Competencies
- Intuitive Communication: You will interface directly with clients at specific touch points and will be responsible for communicating clearly and effectively, both with clients and internal teams. You must be personable, professional, and responsive. You will need to know when to ask the right questions and be prepared to get answers to our front line sales and account management teams quickly and accurately.
- Obsessive Attention to Detail: Front End Web Designers must recognize when spacing isn’t quite right or an extra digit exists in a phone number. You will share accountability for the accuracy and quality of our company’s work. Attention to detail is crucial, so please include the title of your favorite movie or book at the beginning of your email or application.
- Expert Organization and Project Management: If someone asks you to describe yourself and you wouldn't say "organized," you need not apply. Front End Web Designers must be organized and able to multitask many projects at once, hitting your deliverable deadlines at various stages of the project lifecycle. A honed sense of urgency in order to prioritize your workload is paramount to success at our agency.
- Keen Analytical Skills: We measure everything we do by its ROI. You will need a basic understanding of marketing metrics and KPIs, along with the ability to dissect and solve problems through data. Working on and with the web team, you will need to be able to recognize when an approach isn’t working and make suggestions to improve our processes and procedures in order to gain back efficiencies that ultimately benefit our clients’ website projects.
- “Big Picture” Thinking and Knowledge of Digital Marketing: Every digital marketing service we offer ties into the next. When a client makes a request to update their website, how will that affect their SEO or PPC campaigns? We need someone who can see the connections and make good choices for both the client and the agency as a whole.
- Resourceful and Confident Self-Starter: Once you learn the ropes, we’ll expect you to own your projects to keep them moving forward. You will need to take the initiative to make decisions and recommendations, and to follow up with Account Managers to progress projects and hit our monthly projections. You will solve problems every single day, so we need someone with a solutions-oriented mind.
- Takes Pride In Work: We need someone who takes any project, big or small, and puts everything they have into it. Mistakes are okay. Sloppiness is not.
Personality Musts
Our perfect fit is someone who is a problem solver who understands the difference between “yes, and…” and “yes, but…”. You should be a hungry, scrappy personality with a positive attitude and aims to deliver. Working in the client service industry can mean going the extra mile, and we need someone who is always willing to rise to the occasion for our clients and strives to put forward beautiful work that exceeds client expectations. Someone who is detailed and organized, driven and displays vigor and comes ready to play every day. Confidence, self-discipline, and a congenial, curious mind are things we love and admire.
