Description

Esvelte Digital Ltd is a small digital development studio based in Sheffield, UK. We've been designing and building websites and web applications for small to medium sized companies for the last eight years or so.

We have an opening for a front end web designer / developer who we would be looking to initially contract for 3 months with a view to extending that contract.

We're looking for someone who can...

  • Mock-up web UIs using tools such as Adobe Fireworks/Photoshop (or sometimes work directly in the browser)
  • Create clean, semantic HTML5/CSS3 versions of those designs, with splashes of jQuery for interaction.

About you...

  • You should have an excellent online portfolio of work that demonstrates your skills.
  • Ideally, you will have worked in either an agency environment or as a freelancer with your own end-clients.
  • As this will likely be a telecommuting role (although desk space is an option), you will need to have excellent written and verbal communication skills (your timezone will therefore have to be GMT or at least close to GMT)
  • You should have experience with one or more CSS frameworks such as Twitter Bootstrap etc.
  • You should have pixel-perfect attention to detail ;)
  • You should have a keen interest in keeping up with the latest web tech trends and probably spend more time than you should reading tech/design blogs!

Secondary skills...

It would be beneficial if you also had experience with;

  • GIT version control
  • ExpressionEngine
  • LESS dynamic CSS language

And even more amazing (but not essential) would be knowledge of:

  • Client-side templating, such as ICanHaz.js / Underscore.js etc.
  • Backbone.js or equivalent Javascript framework
  • JSON / XML
  • SEO or at least an understanding of the important role semantic code plays in this arena.
  • PHP/CodeIgniter/Laravel/MySQL and ExpressionEngine add-on development
  • Apple Macs (but if you're a Windows/Linux user we won't hold it against you ;-)

If you're interested in working with us or would like to know more, please email  and we can schedule an informal chat with you.
