Senior Web Designer

Key Areas of Responsibility

• Translate abstract client goals and brand guidelines into intuitive sitemaps, wireframes, and user flows.
• Design high-fidelity website mockups and interactive prototypes in Figma, establishing the visual language for digital projects.
• Apply modern UI/UX principles to ensure websites are user-friendly, accessible (WCAG standards), and responsive across all screen sizes.
• Create web design systems, including button styles, typography hierarchies, page sections, and component libraries, to ensure consistency across pages.
• Present design concepts to internal teams and clients, articulating the rationale behind layout and usability decisions.
• Take approved designs and build them pixel-perfectly within WordPress using the Elementor page builder (or similar frameworks).
• Manage the technical setup of pages, including installing necessary plugins, configuring forms, and integrating third-party tools (CRMs, donation platforms).
• Collaborate with back-end developers on complex functionality, providing them with clear design assets and specifications.
• Conduct thorough Quality Assurance (QA) testing across browsers and devices to ensure the site functions flawlessly before launch.
• Execute ongoing website updates, landing page creation, and content refreshes for existing clients.
• Troubleshoot visual bugs, broken links, or layout shifts that occur after browser or plugin updates.
• Optimize images and assets for web performance to ensure fast load times and strong Core Web Vitals scores.

• Experience integrating marketing tools (forms, tracking pixels, CRMs) into web pages.

Soft Skills

• Ability to balance aesthetic beauty with the functional realities of site performance and loading speed.
• Determination to figure out why a layout is breaking or a plugin is conflicting without needing immediate developer intervention.
