More About The Role

We're a SaaS platform that empowers thousands of businesses to create high-performing websites, and we're expanding our content program to deliver even greater value to our members. As a remote Web Designer, you’ll help us craft beautiful high-performing website templates and reusable block patterns tailored to the real estate investor market.

Working hands-on within our WordPress CMS and proprietary tools, you'll develop content that serves as the foundation for our members' websites while continuously optimizing for performance outcomes across: conversion rate, Core Web Vitals, and SEO ranking.

You'll design for specific user types – like motivated sellers, land buyers, and cash home buyers – and craft layouts that build trust fast and drive action. That means empathizing with site visitors and understanding how our customers want to show up online. This role is primarily about designing visual systems that drive results, not building custom code or plugins.

In this contract role, you’ll work closely with our product and engineering teams to create responsive templates that are easy to launch and personalize, and rooted in conversion best practices while facilitating product feedback on how we can grow our platform to be the best content tools in the industry.

While you don't need to be a front-end developer, the ideal candidate has a sharp eye for layout, typography, and mobile-first design while working within a visual editor—and can speak confidently about HTML and CSS structure to help us make smart platform decisions.

  • Work with Customer Experience & Professional Services teams to translate customer needs into content system updates
  • Define content standards for usability, mobile responsiveness, and performance optimization across all templates
  • Monitor content performance metrics and identify optimization opportunities
  • Stay current with conversion optimization, Core Web Vitals, SEO, and WordPress FSE trends
  • Test and iterate on content variations to improve member performance outcomes
  • Document content creation processes and best practices for scalable operations

Requirements

  • Strong verbal and written English communication skills, with the ability to participate in virtual meetings and communicate clearly with both internal peers and customers
  • Effective communicator across Slack, Loom, async tools, and video calls
  • Strong eye for layout, hierarchy, whitespace, and modern UI/UX design
  • Experienced in building pages with visual content editors—WordPress Block Editor
  • Experience optimizing webpage content for performance:
    • Conversion (e.g. forms and phone calls)
    • Core Web Vitals scores (Pagespeed)
    • SEO
    • Accessibility
  • Working knowledge of HTML & CSS
  • Experience using Figma (or similar) for design mockups and handoffs
  • Fluent in color theory and typography
  • Understands how to design with a specific audience in mind
