Web Designer & Developer

You’ll own our client websites end-to-end, from initial design through to long-term care:

New website projects

• Design in Figma: translate client briefs into polished, on-brand designs that reflect the client we are working with
• Build in WordPress + Elementor: turn your own designs into fast, well-built, responsive websites
• Manage the project: own timelines, milestones, and quality from kick-off to launch
• Lead client calls, present designs, gather feedback, manage expectations

Ongoing client care

• Own our Website Maintenance client base: you’re their technical point of contact
• Handle monthly maintenance tasks (updates, backups, security, performance - we use WP Umbrella for this)
• Respond to ad-hoc client requests: content changes, small dev tasks, fixes
• Build the kind of ongoing relationships that turn clients into long-term advocates

You’ll work directly with the founders (Tom and Rachel) and have real ownership over the work, the process, and how we evolve our offering. This is a role with breadth: design, build, client relationships, and ongoing care all sit with you.

Do you have experience in WordPress?, * 4-6 years’ experience as a web designer/developer, ideally agency-side

• Genuinely strong designer: Figma is your home and you’ve got the portfolio to prove it
• Confident builder: fluent in WordPress + Elementor, comfortable with HTML/CSS and basic custom work
• Native or near-native English: you’ll be on calls and communicating with UK business owners every week
• Comfortable being client-facing: confident leading meetings, presenting work, handling ongoing client relationships
• Self-managing: you can run multiple projects and maintenance clients without someone holding your hand
• High attention to detail: small mistakes are not part of your output, and you take true pride in your work
• Familiar with SEO basics so sites are built with search in mind
• Comfortable juggling new builds and ongoing client work in the same week
• Shopify experience welcome (we do 1-2 projects a year)
• Eligible to work in the UK
• Able to commute to our Hinckley office

Who this won’t suit

• Designers who don’t want to build
• Developers who don’t want to design
• Anyone who only wants to work on new builds and not look after ongoing clients
• Anyone uncomfortable on client calls
• Anyone looking for a narrow, task-based role
• People with no ambition looking to do the bare minimum

• £32,000-£40,000 depending on experience
• Full-time, office-based in Hinckley
• 20 days holiday + bank holidays
• Direct involvement in shaping how Reason8 grows
• 3-month probation period (extendable by 1 month)

Why this role

You won’t be one designer among ten, taking briefs and outputting wireframes.

You’ll be the web person at Reason8; owning new builds, ongoing client relationships, and the technical standard we’re known for.

If you want breadth, ownership, and a real say in how things are done, this is that role.

Pay: £32,000.00-£40,000.00 per year

Reason8 is a premium web design agency based in Hinckley. We design, build and look after websites for owner-led UK businesses, from local specialists to ambitious national brands and public bodies.

Our work is design-led, our brand is premium, and our clients expect a level of polish most agencies don’t deliver.

We’re growing fast and bringing web design and ongoing client support back in-house. This role is your chance to own it.
