They Integrated — they will deliver soon, promise

“They” are Hiring a web designer.

They Integrated Inc. is a full service ad agency with a growing interactive division. We are looking for a talented Web Designer who is passionate about bringing great design to life. We have just one rule: create great work and play well with others (ok, that was 2 rules, but we break a lot of rules creating great design).

What do we expect from you? Well, you know your coding and developing stuff inside out. You don’t need to be told what great design looks like, you just have a knack for it. You like to push the envelope and you’re not afraid to speak your mind, but you’re respective of what others have to contribute. Especially clients, because they pay us to produce great work.

For starters, you should have at least 2 years of professional post collegiate experience, or have equivalent interactive web experience.

There’s some other stuff that you should know. It’s a long list, but if you understand most of it we want to chat with you.

Our new Web Designer will work within our They Interactive Studio and will also be expected to:

  • Fully appreciate that web standards, accessibility, and usability are essential to uphold.
  • See endless possibilities on a blank canvas and don’t need much design direction to create functional masterpieces.
  • Create awe-inspiring designs for web sites, email campaigns, and web apps.
  • Clap their hands and scream “YES!” at the thought of turning flat Photoshop design comps into living, breathing web designs that are beautiful, scalable, semantic XHTML, and (table-free) CSS.
  • Be obsessed with following Best Practices in optimizing and replacing images, using unobtrusive JavaScript, and adhering to accessibility guidelines.
  • Have unparalleled attention to detail when xhtml/css'ifying mockups, maintaining the sanctity of the original design.
  • Extrapolate initial design visions to develop the front end of a web site or application.
  • Are wizards in HTML and CSS; demonstrate exceptional coding quality and scalable CSS/HTML. Hand-coding skills are a definite plus, however if you are more comfortable with using WYSIWYG editors (such as Dreamweaver, GoLive) that is fine.
  • Be talented users of JavaScript libraries such as JQuery, Mootools, Scriptaculous, Prototype (Hand-coding JavaScript skills a plus!)
  • Know and enjoy using ExpressionEngine, Wordpress, or any other blogging/CMS software (experience with ExpressionEngine and/or CodeIgniter will get you SUPER nerdlinger points).
  • Generally have experience with server-side code such as PHP/MySQL.
  • Are multi-faceted creatures who walk the line between design aesthetics and the user experience while ALWAYS considering accessibility, usability, and web standards.
  • Seamlessly interact with other designers and developers to ensure proper implementation of websites.
  • Play well with others – and take pride in their communicative and collaborative abilities.
  • Appreciate variety in their work, but remain committed to projects that take weeks of focused effort to complete.
  • Meet deadlines without breaking a sweat (okay, maybe you will sweat a little sometimes).
  • “Get” social media. – You read leading industry related blogs, and surf the web. A lot. You understand how to find blogs or sites relevant to a client’s industry. You’re on Facebook and play with new apps all the time. You know what Delicious, Digg, and ­Twitter are. You understand how social media can help your clients’ marketing efforts.
