Job Description

Website Designer

Our client is a small but fast-growing digital agency helping ambitious SMEs scale through smart, data-led marketing. Their work spans paid media, SEO, website design and development, email marketing, content, creative and digital strategy, with a clear focus on delivering measurable commercial results for their clients.

Their close-knit core team is made up of experienced marketers across strategy, performance, creative and client services, supported by a trusted network of specialist partners. Collaboration, accountability and performance are at the heart of how they work. They are proactive, transparent and deeply invested in every client they work with.

Our client is looking for a talented Website Designer to join their growing team in a broad, hands-on creative role. This is primarily a design-led position. They need someone with a strong creative eye who understands how to turn a client brief, brand and commercial objective into a well-structured, engaging and easy-to-use website.

You will take projects through the complete website design process, including discovery, sitemap and user journey planning, wireframing and UI design, working closely with developers to bring your designs to life, and supporting testing and launch. You should be confident designing in Figma, with a strong understanding of WordPress, Elementor and WooCommerce, so that you can design with these platforms' capabilities and constraints in mind. Familiarity with Shopify would also be valuable, particularly for ecommerce projects, as the client generally leans towards Shopify builds due to the stability and built-in features of the platform.

The role requires someone who understands that good website design is not only about how a page looks. You will need to consider user experience, accessibility, mobile responsiveness, conversion rate optimisation, performance, SEO requirements and the wider commercial purpose of each website.

Alongside website projects, you will use your design skills to support the wider agency with creative requirements such as paid social advertising, organic social media graphics, email designs, presentation materials, brochures, reports, signage and other digital or print collateral.

You will work closely with the Directors, Client Services team, SEO team, Performance Marketing team, developers, content specialists and clients. Depending on the project, you may contribute during client meetings, present design concepts, explain your recommendations and respond constructively to feedback.

This role is suited to someone who enjoys variety, wants ownership of their work and is equally comfortable thinking creatively and considering the practicalities of how a design will be built. It offers the opportunity to help shape the agency's website offering, improve internal processes and become an important part of the team as their web and creative workload grows.
