Job description
We're looking for a Front-end Designer/Developer who can turn briefs into clear, thoughtful Figma designs and then build them in WordPress using clean, custom themes. The role leans towards design, but strong front-end build skills are essential.

- Confidently work with ACF, Gutenberg blocks, and structured content to create flexible, future-proof sites
- Craft responsive layouts and subtle interactions that feel smooth and intentional across devices
- Collaborate closely with the wider team, clearly communicating progress and ideas at every stage
- Partner with backend developers to ensure your design vision is fully realised in the final build, * Varied, meaningful work across two agencies and a wide range of sectors
- A powerful Mac, large 2nd display, keyboard, mouse and dock, and the software you need to do your job properly
- Varied, meaningful work across two agencies and many sectors
- An optional, all-expenses-paid annual team retreat in Portugal
- A calm, straightforward working culture focused on doing good work
If you're a Front-end Designer/Developer who enjoys balancing design thinking with hands-on build work - and you're looking for a remote role where quality genuinely comes first - we'd love to hear from you., Aside from a sensible fee model, custom technology and a direct unhindered path to candidates we don't sell candidates and we don't sell jobs: we facilitate relationships and champion the process of 'organic hiring' to help create stronger and longer-lasting engagements.
Requirements
Your Skills/Experience: Experienced in Figma. An interest in UX/UI. Front end Wordpress experience. Agency experience is a bonus., * Strong Figma skills, with confidence in layouts, components, and user flows
