Web Designer
Haystack · Manchester, England, United Kingdom · 1 month ago
About This Role
We're working with a boutique, design-led creative collective that bridges global reach with high-end heritage branding on this exciting opportunity. We are looking for a designer who doesn’t just make things look pretty, but actually understands how to build their vision from the ground up.
If you are a Figma pro who is equally comfortable diving into custom WordPress builds with clean PHP and CSS, this is your chance to work with high-profile clients like the Design Museum and City of London. You’ll join a senior, remote-first team that values technical quality and thoughtful UX over burnout and frantic deadlines.
The Role
Transform complex client briefs into polished, user-centric Figma designs and interactive prototypes. Take full ownership of the front-end build, developing clean custom WordPress themes from scratch. Build scalable design systems and reusable UI components using Gutenberg blocks and ACF (Advanced Custom Fields). Bridge the gap between design and development by writing clean HTML, CSS, and PHP to ensure your vision is executed perfectly. Collaborate with a senior team to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of web projects for diverse sectors including heritage, culture, and global commerce.
What You'll Need
Expert-level proficiency in Figma, including a deep understanding of layouts, components, and user flows. Proven experience building bespoke WordPress themes from the ground up—no off-the-shelf templates here. Strong technical skills in HTML5, CSS3, and PHP specifically for WordPress theming and customisation. Experience with Gutenberg, ACF, and structured content to create flexible, future-proof websites. A sharp eye for UX/UI design and the autonomy to manage your own workload in a fully remote environment.
What's On Offer
Highly competitive salary (£35k-£45k) with a sustainable 4.5-day working week (early finish Fridays!). Fully remote setup with a top-tier hardware package, including a powerful Mac and dual-monitor setup. An incredible annual all-expenses-paid team retreat to Portugal to connect with your colleagues. A calm, senior-led working culture that provides clear scope to grow into a leadership or senior design role.
