UX Web Designer

Description

BoxCrush®, a digital marketing and website design agency based in Indianapolis, IN, is seeking an experienced UX Web Designer with an outstanding portfolio and 3+ years of experience to join our team. The right candidate will be excited about the opportunity to build a website’s user experience strategy from the ground up and ready to dive into and test existing websites while looking for opportunities to introduce incremental improvements over time. You will work with a team of digital marketing specialists, developers, and content writers and work directly with clients to arrive at a big-picture solution.

BoxCrush provides customized website solutions for B2B and B2C clients. The UX Web Designer will have to understand how users are arriving to the website (whether from BoxCrush’s organic SEO efforts or through advanced digital marketing and social media campaigns), what the goals are for a user’s journey through a client’s website (and to help develop those goals), describe, plan and wireframe all necessary custom functionality, study what users are doing, and understand how to visually guide users to the conversion goal areas of a website.

Applicants should have advanced graphic design skills as described below. The UX Web Designer will be expected to participate in the development cycle that entails meeting directly with clients, designing a website from scratch, producing a mockup, designing a finished website, and using those resources to communicate with the client for approval. Once approved, those resources will need to be clearly communicated by the UX Web Designer to the Development team for coding. The applicant will then review the website application for quality assurance.
