I’m looking for a contract web designer to work with me on a number of different projects, starting as soon as possible.
I have enough work to keep you busy for the next three or four months, at least, perhaps three days per week.
And, if it all works out, there is likely more work available after that.
You are the perfect person if …
- You have empathy for users and know what it takes to make a website feel obvious
- You have a good understanding of web conventions, and a bias for following these rather than reinventing the wheel on every project
- You can quickly create a rough design, without fussing about making every pixel perfect
- You have the ability to add a touch of brilliance to an existing design or outline
- You understand what can be easily achieved in HTML & CSS (you don’t have to be a technical person, but you should at least have sympathy for and be able to communicate clearly with those who are)
- You’re comfortable having other people critique your work and push you towards an even better solution
- You don’t take yourself too seriously
- You can manage your own time, and have a strong sense of initiative
- You have enthusiasm and motivation to burn
I can offer a good mixture of interesting work, from new ideas to existing successful sites which require some re-work.
This will be a relaxed arrangement – I expect to spend some time with you each week, but most of the time you will be free to work where and when you prefer.
I’ll measure you based on what you produce rather than how long it takes you.
To apply please send me an email with:
- Your details
- Examples of your work – show me something you’ve created that you think is remarkable
- A list of your three favourite websites (excluding Trade Me and Google) – tell me specifically what you like about each of them
- Your preferred rate
- Anything else that demonstrates how you are smart and get things done
My email address is on the right
I hope this is an exciting opportunity for somebody reading this.
If not you, then perhaps you know somebody who might be interested that you can send this to? (thanks in advance for the referral)
I’ll look forward to hearing from you.
I assume this is a NZ only offer if you want to spend time with people each week.
Pick me Pick me!!!
@Craig:
I was purposely vague about location . I would prefer somebody in Wellington, as these things tend to be easier when you can sit beside each other. But, I’m open to a number of possible arrangements.
@Lance
As per the post, please submit some examples of your previous work.
Crayon drawings will be fine. ;-)
How about a felt tip sales page? (note – all of the colouring is WITHIN the lines).

Ben – I see you found my website….
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. Clearly Lance has ingenuity, but a complete fool may be overplaying it :-)
