Cornershop Creative is seeking an awesome, U.S.-based WordPress designer to join our 30-person distributed team.
The core responsibility for this position will be designing and building custom functionality on existing customer WordPress-based websites.
We are looking for a great designer with demonstrable WordPress skills and experience. This position will be responsible for interpreting client requirements and turning them into beautiful websites by creating wireframes and design mockups; installing and configuring WordPress themes and plugins; using visual builders to implement designs and populate content; optimizing web pages for performance and efficiency; and maintaining brand consistency across entire sites.
Our ideal candidate is a hard-working, curious self-starter comfortable working independently with little supervision, but also able to work as part of a team that includes developers, designers, and content strategists. They will also be comfortable meeting with clients to understand design preferences and present design assets. Since we're a permanently distributed shop (not just during the pandemic), you’ll get to work from home! Cool, right?
Desired Skills/Knowledge
- Excellent user experience and web design skills (if you can’t make things look pretty, this isn’t the job for you)
- Experience creating wireframes and design mockups in Figma
- Experience building beautiful, content-rich pages in Gutenberg, Elementor, and/or other page builders
- Basic understanding of the WordPress theme layer: template files and hierarchy, hooks, WP_Query, and so on
- Strong knowledge of HTML5 markup and CSS
- Ability to write CSS for cross-browser, responsive design (not just by using Bootstrap)
- Experience with CSS preprocessors & libraries (particularly SASS)
- Understanding of basic JavaScript, particularly jQuery and/or the Node.js ecosystem
- Familiarity with current (and evolving) best practices in front-end dev regarding semantics, performance, cross-browser consistency, accessibility, speed optimization, etc.
- Ability to laugh at our stupid jokes (and the occasional good one)
- Familiarity with command line tools like git, gulp and wp-cli
- Won’t lose your s#!% if you occasionally get feedback like “can we make the logo bigger?” or “change the padding by 1px,” which may happen despite our best efforts
- Willingness to work in a fast-paced environment and work across multiple clients (we keep pretty busy!)
- Ability to “put yourself in someone else’s shoes” to consider the client’s (and client’s users’) needs
- Remembering to un-mute yourself before talking on conference calls
- Being passionate about progressive causes
