What Are You Doing at the Moment?

Working in an agency where there is no room for them to grow, or perhaps you’re running a micro agency or freelance business, looking to work with more people and bigger clients.

The Web Designer Role

We're looking for a Web Designer who can turn briefs into clear, thoughtful Figma designs and then build them in WordPress using clean, custom themes. The role leans towards design, but strong front‑end build skills are essential. You’re confident making UX and layout decisions, comfortable owning work end‑to‑end, and focused on delivering quality rather than firefighting. You've worked in an agency environment, thrive on pace and variety, and can manage your own workload in a fully remote setup. Furthermore, you're curious about your craft, open to feedback, and confident sharing opinions while working well in a small, experienced team. Over time, you're looking to step up – taking on more responsibility, and growing towards a senior or leadership role.

What You’ll Do

• Transform client briefs into polished, thoughtful Figma designs that bring ideas to life.
• Make smart UX and design decisions around layout, hierarchy, and content flow – always with the user in mind.
• Design reusable UI components and build simple, scalable design systems.
• Bring your designs to life by building them in WordPress using custom themes.
• Confidently work with ACF, Gutenberg blocks, and structured content to create flexible, future‑proof sites.
• Craft responsive layouts and subtle interactions that feel smooth and intentional across devices.
• Collaborate closely with the wider team, clearly communicating progress and ideas at every stage.
• Partner with backend developers to ensure your design vision is fully realised in the final build.

Required Experience

You must be based in the UK and able to attend occasional team meetings in Hereford / London.

• Strong Figma skills, with confidence in layouts, components, and user flows.
• A solid grasp of UX fundamentals and a sharp eye for clean, considered interface design.
• Proven experience building custom WordPress themes from the ground up.
• Strong working knowledge of ACF, Gutenberg, and WordPress best practices.
• Excellent HTML and CSS skills, plus a working knowledge of PHP for WordPress theming.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership, and see tasks through from start to finish.

Nice To Have

• Experience working in a digital or creative agency environment.
• Comfortable presenting work or talking through design decisions with clients.
• Experience designing and building for a range of sectors, brands, or audiences.

What We Offer

• Fully remote working with a sustainable work‑life balance.
• Varied, meaningful work across two agencies and a wide range of sectors.
• A powerful Mac, large 2nd display, keyboard, mouse and dock, and the software you need to do your job properly.
• An optional, all‑expenses‑paid annual team retreat in Portugal.
• A calm, straightforward working culture focused on doing good work.
