Website Developer

  • Full-time

Company Description

KWSM is a full service digital marketing agency made up of journalists. We specialize in website development & SEO, social media strategy & management, content creation, PR & influencer marketing, and digital advertising. Clients hire us to create integrated digital marketing strategies to generate leads or sales. Half our clients are B2B and half are B2C.

We have offices in Orange County, CA, San Diego, CA, Atlanta, GA and Las Vegas, NV.

Job Description

We are looking for a front-end developer to create new websites and refresh existing websites for our clients. We are a digital marketing agency that believes that digital tactics work best when we can drive traffic to a highly-functional hub. There is no reason for a company to invest in a digital strategy if their website is outdated. You will work with our Digital Marketing Strategists to create an outstanding online presence for each of our clients, ensuring that their website and other digital channels are working together.

We're looking for someone who truly wants to be part of a team. We're building something amazing, and need your ideas and talent to continue to take our 10-year-old agency to the next level. 

You will need to be very familiar and experienced with Wordpress development, Google web tools, have a thorough understanding of website hosting management and DNS settings. The ability to work on non-Wordpress sites is also expected. Throw in some graphic design skills, and we would be pretty excited about you.

We are looking for someone thorough and detail-oriented. We expect our web developers to have some basic design capabilities in addition to the ability to build out a website or edit code. You must be able to listen to a client's goals and ideas, and create a website that exceeds their expectations.

We value efficiency and the ability to juggle several projects at once. At any given time, we are working with several clients simultaneously, and each one of them needs to be treated as a priority. You must be able to prioritize a to-do list and meet deadlines without fail.

This isn't the kind of gig where you can work through a couple of rounds of changes, and be finished with the site. We will continue to tweak a website until the client is thrilled - or a landing page until our ads are converting. We're looking for someone who is loyal, patient, and cares deeply about giving clients exactly what they want and need.

The right developer for our team will have a solid understanding of search engine optimization, how social media and websites work together, and best practices for online marketing. We design great looking sites - that also must work to boost our clients' visibility and generate leads or sales. 

This is a full-time, salaried position with benefits.

Qualifications

The right person for this job will be...

 

Creative.

If creating exceptional websites was easy, anyone could do it. If you have big ideas, are willing to take risks, and want a job where you can be innovative and try new things, KWSM could be a very good fit.

 

Communicative.

We tell stories for a living. That involves engaging and communicating with an audience online, but it also requires the ability to communicate well with our clients, and each other. We’re a small company, and you will have a lot of opportunity to add your feedback. We need someone who wants to be heard.

 

Uncommonly Organized.

Can you take a lengthy ‘to do’ list and prioritize what’s important? Can you multi-task when necessary, while continuing to perform well? Can you thrive in a bustling and interactive environment, and still get your work done? If so, you’ll fit right in!

 

Team-oriented.

We have a very collaborative office, and want to work with people who want to be part of a team. If you’re the kind of person who likes the door to their office closed, you probably won’t be happy here. (Our offices don’t actually have doors.)

 

Passionate.

We want to work with people who are passionate. About what doesn’t really matter. If you have the ability to get excited about something and throw yourself into it, you will fit in well here.
