• Humble Expert: Confident about own work, open-minded, and ego never gets in the way.
• Conscientious Steward: Owns outcomes, anticipates needs, and uses good judgment to protect our reputation.

A Day in the Life

Web Design responsibilities include consulting on conversion optimization strategy, features, and functionality during the planning stages of each project, designing and revising alongside the client, then continuing to collaborate with the developer to make sure your designs look and work as expected on the site.

You will first familiarize yourself with the brand strategy (either the one developed by Aeolidia’s Brand Strategist, or using the notes provided by the client), then evaluate the assets our clients bring us, and create deliverables that align with the client’s goals and our internal scope documents. You will communicate with each client through written messages in our project management software, on screenshare calls, by video, and in chat.

As a designer for our clients, your work is vital in communicating their story effectively to their customers, and you will work with multiple developers and clients at a time to make sure your designs will help the business owners meet their goals. To achieve this, you will work closely with our ecommerce strategist to ensure your work prepares our clients for success, and will consult with our web developers to ensure your designs can be accomplished within project scope, and to make sure your approved design ends up faithfully recreated on Shopify.
