Seeking Web Design Support

Seeking a 1099 contractor with the following:

Your own computer and software:

I am seeking someone who can work virtually from their own office. Please be Mac-based and have at least Adobe CS2 at your disposal. You will not need to meet me in person, though we might have phone meetings from time to time. My clients are all over the globe, so it doesn’t matter where you are located. Preference is given to U.S. based candidates, however.

WordPress experience:

You don’t have to be an expert, but familiarity with what WordPress is and does and some experience using it as a content management system is important. Please do not respond to this ad unless you have used WordPress recently. Am willing to train the right person on the details, but you must have at least used the WordPress admin panel.

Web design experience:

Familiarity with CSS and HTML are a must. You don’t have to be an expert, but I will need you to make simple updates on websites that use CSS and HTML.

Graphics creation experience:

The ideal candidate is comfortable creating graphics for web and print in Adobe Photoshop. If you know Dreamweaver, InDesign, and Illustrator, that is a plus. The more you know, the more I’ll be able to use your skills…and the more money you’ll make with me.

You must also:

Be comfortable being paid hourly. Most of our projects will require you to track your time and send me a timesheet. We can start with a few small projects while we’re getting comfortable. I need you to trust me just like I need to trust you to complete projects for clients.

Must be comfortable performing web research tasks. (i.e. image sourcing, research for logo designs, competitive research.)

Must conduct yourself professionally and understand the importance of confidentiality when it comes to client projects.

Major pluses:

SEO experience
PHP coding experience
Advanced WordPress experience

The ideal candidate would be a student or novice designer looking to gain experience. Hours per week cannot be guaranteed, but it will be roughly 3-5 hours per week. Availability is flexible. As long as you complete projects by the due date, I don’t care when you work.

When you respond, please include the following:

• A link to your online portfolio or attach JPGs or PDFs of your work.
• A paragraph detailing your experience in the areas mentioned above.
• The version of Adobe products you have, and your experience with them. Please let me know which programs you know well, somewhat well, and not at all.
• Your preferred hourly rate.
