Web designer/developer

dxw is looking for a designer who can do front-end coding.

You’ll be working on a variety of projects, including work for central government and work on products that we're developing. We’re currently working on a product for cloud-based WordPress hosting that we think will be very exciting. And we’re doing some very cool projects for central government that we’d love to tell you all about.

We do lots of work with WordPress, so WP experience is a strong plus. Ideally, you'll be pretty comfortable working with themes and plugins and will have put together a few WordPress sites already. 

You’ll need to have a keen visual sense, a good grasp of usability and designing for the web, and a strong desire to make beautiful, useful things.

You’ll also need a good working knowledge of HTML and CSS, and the ability to take on coding tasks as needed, with support from developers when required. 

The successful applicant will probably have a good working knowledge of most of:

• Adobe Illustrator and/or Photoshop
• HTML/CSS/Javascript
• Basic PHP
• Basic Ruby
• WordPress/BuddyPress
• User-centred design and usability

The successful applicant will be:

• Proactive and able to work independently
• A proponent of agile methodologies
• Able to respond quickly to changing requirements and to JFDI when necessary
• Keen to learn and improve

Initially, we’re looking for someone to work three days a week in our offices in London, with a good chance that the role will become full time at some point in the future. Salary from £35,000pa pro rata, dependent on experience.

When you apply, please tell us a little bit about yourself and link us to your portfolio, or some examples of your work. Applications without a portfolio or examples of previous design work will not be accepted. It doesn't need to be commercial. Just something that shows us what you can do.
