About Us

We’re a team of over 55 passionate marketers nestled in sunny San Diego. We are walking distance from local hangouts, bars, and the famed Liberty Station. While many companies simply check the required boxes when it comes to culture, a well-balanced team and positive office culture has been the core of our success from the start. We are a social team at heart, and have embraced a hybrid work model where team members come in at least two days a week. This allows us to work from home and have flexibility, without altogether forgoing the excitement and moments of collaboration and inspiration you can only get from in-person time. Not to mention, we also genuinely enjoy spending time together and socializing.

​

Awards and Recognition

We celebrate new ideas and prioritize a culture of trust and respect where team members can grow and take risks. Each quarter we host events under our four cultural pillars; health & wellness, personal & professional development, social good, and social. We are proud to have been named one of San Diego Business Journal’s Best Places to Work in 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023, made the Inc 5000 Regionals Fastest Growing Companies 2021, 2022 and 2024, made the San Diego Business Journal’s Fastest Growing Private Companies list in 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023, made the Inc Best Workplaces list in 2024 and made the Inc. 5000 for the last 5 years (2019-2024)!

Job Description

Front End Web Designer

The Front End Web Designer will be responsible for creative content management design and ongoing maintenance, building client marketing websites that drive leads and convert leads to customers. This role is development-focused and requires foundational understanding of CSS, HTML and Javascript. We are looking for an experienced Webflow designer interested in executing front end website projects, directly applying their creativity to websites during the build process. A strong eye for design, organized workflow, and ability to multi-task is essential.

​

Essential Functions

Designing & Building Websites:

You will be designing & building your own websites as well as building custom websites mocked by our Design team in Figma. Using the Webflow content management system, you will create unique, aesthetically exciting websites that reflect the clients’ brand while adhering to our high quality standards.

​

Ongoing Maintenance:

Our client relationships don’t end when the website launches. Our clients will submit post-launch update requests that you will vet for clarity and scope, make recommendations on, and ultimately execute.

​

Creative Direction:

Conceptualizing page layouts, animations and user interactions are critical to successful website projects. You will provide clients with suggested color palettes, typography pairings, and high-level page layouts prior to full build-out.

​

Quality Assurance:

You ensure that your own work and that of your peers is branded appropriately for each client, accurate, and high-quality. From reviewing appropriate padding, alignment and animation execution to testing mobile device responsiveness, you will always strive for an aesthetic that is fresh and effective.

​

Marketing Strategy:

You will make recommendations on design, conversion opportunities, and user experience to make the most of a client’s marketing package. You will participate in client kick-off calls and speak directly with the end client. You think critically and make judgments in the best interest of the website visitor.

​

Core Competencies

• Intuitive Communication:

You will interface directly with clients at specific touch points and will be responsible for communicating clearly and effectively, both with clients and internal teams. You must be personable, professional, and responsive. You will need to know when to ask the right questions and be prepared to get answers to our front line sales and account management teams quickly and accurately.

​

• Obsessive Attention to Detail:

Front End Web Designers must recognize when spacing isn’t quite right or an extra digit exists in a phone number. You will share accountability for the accuracy and quality of our company’s work. Attention to detail is crucial, so please include the title of your favorite movie or book at the beginning of your email or application.

​

• Expert Organization and Project Management:

If someone asks you to describe yourself and you wouldn't say "organized," you need not apply. Front End Web Designers must be organized and able to multitask many projects at once, hitting your deliverable deadlines at various stages of the project lifecycle. A honed sense of urgency in order to prioritize your workload is paramount to success at our agency.

​

• Keen Analytical Skills:

We measure everything we do by its ROI. You will need a basic understanding of marketing metrics and KPIs, along with the ability to dissect and solve problems through data. Working on and with the web team, you will need to be able to recognize when an approach isn’t working and make suggestions to improve our processes and procedures in order to gain back efficiencies that ultimately benefit our clients’ website projects.

​

• “Big Picture” Thinking and Knowledge of Digital Marketing:

Every digital marketing service we offer ties into the next. When a client makes a request to update their website, how will that affect their SEO or PPC campaigns? We need someone who can see the connections and make good choices for both the client and the agency as a whole.

​

• Resourceful and Confident Self-Starter:

Once you learn the ropes, we’ll expect you to own your projects to keep them moving forward. You will need to take the initiative to make decisions and recommendations, and to follow up with Account Managers to progress projects and hit our monthly projections. You will solve problems every single day, so we need someone with a solutions-oriented mind.

​

• Takes Pride In Work:

We need someone who takes any project, big or small, and puts everything they have into it. Mistakes are okay. Sloppiness is not.

​

Personality Musts

Our perfect fit is someone who is a problem solver who understands the difference between “yes, and…” and “yes, but…”. You should be a hungry, scrappy personality with a positive attitude and aims to deliver. Working in the client service industry can mean going the extra mile, and we need someone who is always willing to rise to the occasion for our clients and strives to put forward beautiful work that exceeds client expectations. Someone who is detailed and organized, driven and displays vigor and comes ready to play every day. Confidence, self-discipline, and a congenial, curious mind are things we love and admire.

​

Minimum Qualifications

• 1+ years designing websites in the Webflow content management system
• Familiarity with other content management systems (CMS) such as WordPress, SquareSpace, Duda or Wix.
• Foundational understanding of HTML, CSS and Javascript and how they work together
• A passion for helping clients and small businesses succeed
