Lightboard seeks a web developer specializing in Webflow and WordPress. The developer works with an art director and account manager to delight our customers with crisp, responsive websites and beautiful-everywhere email templates. This is a contract position, 10-40hrs per week.
About Lightboard
We are a no-nonsense design service that delivers quality craftsmanship to established brands like 3M, Autodesk, and GitHub, as well as innovative younger companies like BloomReach, ExtraHop, and FullContact.
We believe the traditional agency model is fundamentally broken. Our clients don't need a full-service creative agencies—they've already developed their strategy and need high-quality design to bring it to life, quickly and efficiently.
And that's what Lightboard does.
About the Position
Our customers are increasingly switching their old WordPress sites to Webflow. We're redesigning the sites as we rebuild them, and we need more help.
In most cases, developers work under the guidance of an art director from approved mockups—but we're particularly interested in candidates with an eye for design. We know that a mockup is never really "finished"—and that things always change once the client sees the design in a browser. The more you can run with a design, the better. Took a stab at designing that last-minute modal the client added? Perfect. We love you.
Most of our customers are B2B companies, and the websites are usually small marketing sites: home page, features page, pricing page, and a few content pages.
We go on to build email templates (usually in a builder like Marketo, Hubspot, or Mailchimp) and sometimes conversion-optimized landing pages in Unbounce or InstaPage. We test our emails in Litmus to ensure they render well across all devices, and check and double-check our websites to ensure we're delivering a best-in-class product to our customers.
