Webficient: Freelance Designer
(Anywhere) We’re looking to add an ‘on demand’ resource, your hours will vary by frequency and size of project. If you’re looking to supplement your existing client base, this may be a perfect opportunity for you. Your first project will involve redesiging our corporate site, which currently is a glorified Wordpress template (how boring!)
Our budget for the redesign is $3000. We have resources who can implement the XHTML/CSS but if you want the whole enchilada, even better! We’ve already started work on a new IA and copy.
Compensation for future projects will depend on client’s budget. You’ll be able to choose which projects to work on based on interest level and pay. We primarily work with well-funded start-ups and agencies.
Apply: Besides sending a link to your existing online portfolio, feel free to include other sample work.
