Who We AreWe are two closely connected agencies - Voodoochilli and Heritage Creative - with over 25 years of combined experience. We work across a wide range of sectors, from global brands and public bodies to cultural and heritage organisations. Our two-agency model means the work is varied, and you won't be confined to a single niche. We are fully remote, highly experienced, and intentionally boutique. We prioritise quality, trust, and clear thinking over noise, hierarchy, or process for its own sake. Our clients include AliExpress, the City of London Corporation, Canterbury Cathedral, The Design Museum, Engel & Völkers, alongside many small and medium-sized organisations across the UK and internationally.
The Web Designer RoleWe're looking for a Web Designer 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. You should be confident making UX and layout decisions, comfortable owning work end-to-end, and focused on delivering quality rather than firefighting. You've worked in an agency environment, thrive on pace and variety, and can manage your own workload in a fully remote setup. Over time, you're looking to step up - taking on more responsibility and growing towards a senior or leadership role.
What You'll Do
Transform client briefs into polished, thoughtful Figma designs that bring ideas to life
Make smart UX and design decisions around layout, hierarchy, and content flow - always with the user in mind
Design reusable UI components and build simple, scalable design systems
Bring your designs to life by building them in WordPress using custom themes
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
Required experience
You must be based in the UK and able to attend occasional team meetings in Hereford / London
Strong Figma skills, with confidence in layouts, components, and user flows
A solid grasp of UX fundamentals and a sharp eye for clean, considered interface design
Proven experience building custom WordPress themes from the ground up
Strong working knowledge of ACF, Gutenberg, and WordPress best practices
Excellent HTML and CSS skills, plus a working knowledge of PHP for WordPress theming
Ability to work independently, take ownership, and see tasks through from start to finish
Nice to have
Experience working in a digital or creative agency environment
Comfortable presenting work or talking through design decisions with clients
Experience designing and building for a range of sectors, brands, or audiences
What we offer
Fully remote working with a sustainable work-life balance
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
An optional, all-expenses-paid annual team retreat in Portugal
A calm, straightforward working culture focused on doing good work
If you're a Web Designer 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.
