Wanted: Part Time Web Designer

If you love gadgets, games, technology, celebrity gossip and babies, and have experience as a web designer, we could have the perfect job for you. Gizmodo AU’s publisher, Allure Media, is looking for a part time web designer to work across our range of sites. Full details below: About the role

Are you a web design whiz? We’re on the hunt for a great designer to make our sites and advertisers look great.

You’ll:
• Design and implement fireplaces and panoramas for our clients (* see below of this ad for details);
• Improve the look and user experience of our existing websites;
• Design new sections and websites; and
• Propose new advertising executions that achieve advertiser objectives while maintaining a great user experience.

The ideal candidate will have experience with:
• Branding, site layouts and structures, and “web 2.0” design fundamentals;
• Photoshop and Flash (ActionScript experience a plus);
• HTML and CSS (you must be able to code without the aid of a WYSIWYG editor)
… and will have a proven portfolio of previous work with a passion for internet media.

It’s a bonus if you:
• Have experience with Illustrator;
• Have knowledge of any other web languages;
• Have worked with publishers, editors, account managers, advertisers or media agencies in the past;
• Understand web standards, accessibility and cross-browser compatibility; and
• Understand current web technologies and trends.

This is a 2-3 day/week role in our inner Sydney office, with potential to grow to full time. You might be freelancing or studying at the moment but like the idea of a steady, regular gig.
