About the Role
We are seeking a reliable Webflow developer with prior Webflow experience building Webflow websites in accordance with best practices (e.g. thoughtful CSS, design system management), as well as a base level of JavaScript and CSS coding skills to bridge Webflow gaps as they come up.
Our agency is working on a marketing website that is built in Webflow. The website surfaces the profiles of medical professionals with whom the company has a partnership. We have an ongoing need to build new pages (e.g. SEO landing pages) and features (e.g. new search and filter capabilities). We want to work with someone who we can build a long term partnership with - who will assist our team in continuing to build out this Webflow site.
The Webflow-related stack is:
- Data lives in Airtable
- Webflow CMS syncs to Airtable via Whalesync
- We’re using Jetboost for the filtering capabilities
- Jetboost and other technology new technologies are open to being changed if you have a compelling reason to introduce new technology
The lead Webflow designer and developer at Artsci is already working on these pages and will continue to guide and steer additional projects that come along. Ideally you have some design sense so that you are able to own smaller design changes (e.g. layout tweaks, or gaps in Figma mocks for certain breakpoints) without relying on our designer to provide mocks.
Please note: the existing Webflow site is not built with best practices in mind. While we understand that this foundation may lead to occasional issues and surprising regressions, we do want you to take care to QA your work regularly and try to minimize these issues. A good amount of work has been done to update the site to better practices and framework, but issues still sometimes arise from the original build. In the future, we may have a rebuild of the site to a better framework.
Expectations
- To start, about 10h/week of availability. We already have a queue of tasks ready to go.
- Meaningful daily (weekday) or every-other-day progress, with short updates on how things are going flowing through Slack
- Taking holiday/vacation is fine, just please give us at least 1 week heads up for 1-3 days off, and at least 2 weeks heads up for 4+ days off
- Set and meet your own deadlines for completing tasks
- QA your own work after you push something to staging or production, and make sure implementation matches mocks and specs exactly
- When implementing to-spec seems not worthwhile to you, call out what compromises you made before calling something “done”.
- If you aren’t confident in something that may be important (e.g. a technical SEO detail), ask questions. When given a reference (e.g. a link to SEO documentation); read it before asking follow up questions
- Ability to write JavaScript and CSS code to bridge Webflow gaps
- Regressions will always be top priority and urgent to repair. It’s understandable that they happen, but we expect them to be resolved within 24h if they are minor regressions, and urgently (i.e. should be your priority during working hours) if they are having an immediate and obvious business impact.
- (nice to have) Some design skills so we don’t need a designer involved for small changes
What to Expect
We will be accepting applications for a few days. When we see an application we’re excited about, we’ll move quickly to get on a short phone call and then start working with you, ideally around next week.
We’re looking forward to reading your application!
