*Web Designer (UX/UI) — Gig*
Boutique Video Production Studio — New York
*About the Role*
We're a boutique video production studio based in New York City, specializing in corporate image films, brand documentaries, and event films — primarily for European companies operating in the US market.
We're rebuilding our website, and we need someone who understands that a studio site isn't just a portfolio — it's a sales tool. Every page has a job to do: communicate who we are, build trust with a specific type of client, and move them toward picking up the phone.
We're looking for a Web Designer who leads with structure and ends with craft. Someone who opens a new project by thinking about pages, user flow, and hierarchy — not colors and typefaces. The visual execution matters enormously, but it comes last.
You'll work directly with the founder on a project basis, with potential for ongoing work as we grow. You'll own the design process from sitemap to handoff, working within Wix (or Webflow if you can make a case for it). Copy and video assets will be provided — your job is to make them land.
*Who You Are*
You understand the web as a medium, not a canvas. You think about scroll behaviour, states, responsiveness, and hierarchy the way a developer thinks about logic: it either works or it doesn't.
You're not a graphic designer who builds websites on the side. Web design is your specialism. It's where your thinking lives.
*What You'll Do*
You'll take ownership of the full website project from concept to launch — starting with strategy, not aesthetics. Before a single frame gets designed, you'll need to understand our brand, our clients, and our business goals.
1. Strategy & Concept
• Develop the sitemap, define page hierarchy, and map out the user flow
• Make deliberate structural decisions before moving into design
• Understand what a service-based studio site needs to do commercially, not just visually
2. Design & Build
• Design and build a 5–7 page website in Wix (including Wix Developer tools) or Webflow
• Deliver fully responsive designs for both desktop and mobile — not just scaled-down versions of each other
• Understand scroll behavior, interactive states, and responsiveness as logic problems, not just visual ones
• Apply hierarchy the way a developer thinks: what loads first, what earns attention, what drives action
3. Conversion & SEO
• Build a conversion-focused site that actively moves a visitor toward becoming a client
• Implement proper SEO foundations from day one: meta titles, header structures, and technical configurations
• Structure content and copy placement for both readability and search performance
4. Technical Setup
• Handle hosting setup, domain transfer, and any migrations required
• Deliver a clean handoff so the site is fully live and running from day one
• Manage any technical configurations independently — no handholding needed
*What We're Looking For*
Required:
• 3+ years specializing in web design — not general graphic, brand, or print design
• A genuine process: sitemap ? wireframe ? visual design, every time
• Strong information architecture skills — you can define page structure, navigation logic, and content hierarchy from a brief
• Deep understanding of web UX: conversion logic, scroll behavior, mobile-first thinking, and interactive states
• Expert-level skills in either Wix (including Wix Developer / Velo) or Webflow — tell us which one and show us what you've built with it
• A portfolio of live websites for service-based businesses or creative studios that shows process, not just final output
• Clear, proactive communicator in English — you flag problems early and ask the right questions
*How to Apply*
Send us the following:
• Your portfolio — live websites only. We're not interested in Dribbble shots, unsolicited redesigns, or graphic design work. Show us websites you actually shipped.
• 1–2 case studies that walk us through your process: how you structured the site, the thinking behind the page hierarchy, and how the final design connects back to the brief. The thinking matters as much as the output. Bonus points if any of them are for a creative studio, production company, or service-based business.
• A short introduction: who you are, what kinds of projects you've worked on, your platform of choice (Wix or Webflow), and your rate for a project like this.
Compensation
• $400–600 flat project fee for the full website (5–7 pages), depending on complexity and experience
• Ongoing retainer available for post-launch support, updates, and maintenance — billed hourly at a rate we agree on upfront
We're looking for the best fit, not the cheapest option. If your work is strong and your process is solid, we're open to discussing rate.
