Web Designer Wanted – Suffolk

We’re looking for a talented web designer to join our great team.

Introduction

We’re proud of our client work. We’re just as proud of the team that makes it happen. Working at our great offices in Woodbridge, Suffolk means working in a collaborative and creative environment with other talented and inspirational people.

We would love to be able to simply say “Just show us that you live, breathe and play with web design”, but here is a realistic full job specification…

About the position

We need a Web Designer to join our team of talented people. As a real self-starter and a keen all-rounder you will be expected to work either as part of a larger team on major projects, or on smaller projects where you may be given the opportunity to take design ownership working alongside the rest of our creative and talented team.

You’ll need to have experience in designing & building commercial websites, enthusiasm and an aptitude for learning more.

We are not expecting you to be at the top of your game just yet – perhaps with our help you’ll get there in a year’s time! – but you’ll have enough experience and be keen enough to be passionate about getting there.

Maybe you feel like you’ve been a freelancing a for a while and you want a great team to bounce ideas off, or you feel like a cog in an agency machine, not really being stretched and are looking to jump to an agile company in a great location?

Interestingly enough, we try to only take on designers with not only a passion for design, UI and web technologies, but with a keen appreciation for account management too.

- Cross browser fixes

- CSS (Less, SASS)
- Communicating ideas and design both visually,on the phone and in meetings.  

You’ll gain extra brownie points for:

Being creatively minded..
- Having produced timelines and project plans
- Ongoing goals
- Keeping abreast of the latest XHTML/CSS/WAI standards and Web 2.0 developments on the front-end side of things.

Increasing your knowledge of design and also to learn further from our team how to take on a project from the initial enquiry, first meeting with the client through wire-framing and onto design and build and beyond, on-time and on budget!

Package

We take good care of our staff, and salary expectations are based upon experience and are also performance related.

Basically; you’ll get paid money (£££ dependant on experience), flexible holiday allowance, and be able to work in a nice place with great people and plenty of scope to be as creative as you wish.

…and finally, why work at V4?

As if this job specification was not a fantastic career opportunity already, we also guarantee you won’t be a faceless team member either. You’ll be actively involved in building relationships with our clients, helping work out their needs with senior team members and playing an active role in client meetings and helping shape our company.

The difference between V4 and many other agencies is that team members are fully involved with the client, clients are invited to communicate direct with those that matter, the V4 team – they ARE V4.

Simply put, there is no better experience to broaden your design horizons and climb the digital ladder than through client contact, and this is exactly what we offer as part of your position’s daily responsibilities.

Our unique approach to digital is effective and it works for a diverse range of clients including AXA Insurance, Alpro Soya , Ormiston Children’s Charity, Badfire Digital and many more.
