Compensation is commensurate with experience, but we do believe in paying our people well, as we want to retain excellent staff.

We’re looking for somebody who can help maintain our web site. We’re a (funded) startup based in Saratoga. The web site is in place and good enough but will need ongoing polishing, updates (events etc), bug fixing, etc. We have the skills internally to do this but we’d rather focus those efforts on other things; in other words you’ll have knowledgeable requests from us. (Our company develops advanced software development tools.)

We’d like to pay by the hour; we’ll pay market. We expect there to be ongoing work, and occasional bursts of effort.

Expectations of you:

• Completely fluent in English. We don’t want to have to fix your spelling mistakes. Excellent oral and writing skills.
• Local (SF Bay Area) is a plus, but not a deal breaker. We are on Pacific Time so we don’t want you more than a few hours away in time zone.
• No agencies please. We want a one-on-one relationship with a single individual.

Technical requirements:

• Web site is in HTML (!), and CSS (!); PHP, MySQL, some Flash (e.g. video), a couple of custom things. You’ll need some Unix and Apache knowledge. Server is running in Europe and we use some AWS assets as well.
• Basic design skills are a plus (e.g. re-do images in Photoshop).
• Flash programming skills is a plus, we don’t have much planned in this regard but if you have ideas, that’s a plus.
• Basic dynamic web site coding skills (Javascript, e.g. jQuery).
• You have your own computers, software, etc; including ability to sanity test on the major browsers.
• Basic knowledge of SVN is a plus.

Other requirements:

• You’re creative and you can take initiative
• You have a high level of availability (e.g. if there’s a bug we need fixed right away, it won’t take four days for you to respond)
• Ability to DOCUMENT what you do, including detailed time reports (e.g. “worked 6 hours, did the following things: (detailed list)”
• You are not a beginner; you’ve been doing this for a while.
• You’re reasonably detail-oriented. Not too many sloppy mistakes.
• Several years’ experience. New beginners, please.

You’re probably somebody who does this for a number of small companies already. In which case, please include pointers to those web sites, and be prepared to provide reference information.

We're an up-and-coming internet startup (still under the radar), based in RWC, and are in need of a graphic artist/designer who can provide professional polish to our online web-based, client-based, and mobile-based reservation applications. Think southwest.com, hertz.com, opentable.com, and possibly netflix.com, etc.

You will work with clients and our engineering team to:

1) Create look-and-feel mockups/concepts/design guides for skinning of our applications to match our corporate customers' websites.

2) Create a common design language for suite of customer facing applications, working with our usability/information designer and engineering - yielding design/style guides where necessary for engineering to implement, on a project-by-project basis

Given current backlog, we anticipate approx 10hrs/wk for the next month, at a minimum. Possibly more! Impress us, and who knows what can happen!

What we're looking for:

- A professional graphic artist/designer with a solid portfolio
- Someone who understands what the word "deadline" means
- Someone who has a spell-checker, and uses it
- Positive, upbeat attitude
- Creative problem solver, but bounded by practicality
- Ability to speak with creative agencies of our customers (with supervision) and our engineering team
- Indesign, photoshop, pdfs of design guides/mockups
- Adobe Flash/Flex/Fireworks experience, with ability to write CSS a definite plus

Please email a CV, links to examples of your work, any client references, and approximate bill-rate - and we'll talk!

Company Overview

We are an early start-up company developing web-based educational software in the SaaS (cloud) model. We are using a LAMP development platform with Adobe Flash Builder to create a rich Internet application (RIA) with cross-platform capability.

The core application is an electronic flashcard program. It can accommodate any type of data that could be put on a traditional flashcard, but without the limitations. In addition to flat text, it is a fully interactive multimedia application employing whatever tools will enhance the learning experience, such as graphics, video, audio, animation, hyperlinks, and dynamic help text. We sometimes refer to it as “flashcards on steroids”.

The application features an innovative drill algorithm that maximizes retention and minimizes drill time. It has been shown to be effective on subjects as diverse as vocabulary, geography, history, multiplication tables, and trivia.

The range and number of subjects is unlimited. Each subject is managed by an expert in that field who is responsible for the content and structure. Each subject is largely independent with its own particular requirements with respect to data and presentation.

All of the disparate subjects are to be integrated into a common UI/UX that is as consistent as possible while maintaining the distinctive character of each subject. The UI allows each user to choose which subjects they want to study, gives them some control over how the material is presented, and provides some feedback on how they are doing.

The application was originally developed as a single-user, desktop application. That was Version 1. In Version 2, currently under development, we are porting it to a web-based (SaaS) application where all of the code and data reside on our servers. The users only need a userid, a supported browser, and an Internet connection. Version 2 also contains significant additional functionality. Our objective is to Version 2 fully operational as soon as possible so that we can start collecting user data and experience. We will then begin work on Version 3, which will be the first full production release.

Job Overview

We have an engineering prototype of Version 2 running on our server. The UI was designed to test the application and demonstrate functionality. We are looking for an experienced web designer to create a professional, elegant, entertaining, and intuitive UI/UX that will highlight the power of the application.

The web designer will be responsible for the design and implementation of the application UI/UX and for integrating it into the rest of the application. The web designer will be part of the core product design team that includes development engineers, subject editors, and management.

The UI/UX should attract and engage new users, entertain and stimulate existing users, unlock the power of the application, and enhance the learning experience for all users. We are looking for a user experience that is fun, while being tasteful and professional. It needs to appeal to all ages from middle school to adult. The UI will make use of all aspects of a rich Internet application – graphics, audio, video, animation, dynamic help text, hover-over pop-up panels, and anything else that will make the application more interesting. Later releases will incorporate games, puzzles, contests, forums, discussion groups, wikis, and other mechanisms to enhance the learning experience.

We need both higher-level UX design expertise (web design, human factors) and lower-level graphics arts expertise. If we cannot find one person who can do both, preference will be given to applicants with the higher-level design and human factors skills who can identify and manage people who can do the lower-level work.

Responsibilities

The web designer position will encompass the following responsibilities:

• Responsible for the UI/UX design, definition, strategy, documentation, and deliverables.

• Member of the core application development team.

• Ensuring that the UI/UX is implemented, shipped, and maintained as defined by the development team.

• Understanding the philosophy and spirit of the application – its needs, goals, and users.

• Working with the development engineers to Integrate the UI into the existing application structure (Flash Builder).

• Working closely with the subject editors to fully understand the requirements of each subject, advising the subject editors regarding human factors options, and incorporating the results into the overall design.

• Making artistic and human factors decisions and recommendations regarding the appropriate use of graphics, audio, video, animation, and other RIA media and effects.

• Making human factors decisions and recommendations regarding the layout of the screens and the position and interaction of user controls.

• Designing tasteful and appropriate user feedback controls and devices that will increase user interest and satisfaction.

• Designing a UI/UX that is simple and intuitive. An average user should be able to start using the application immediately (or after only simple instruction) and not require help from customer support.

• Creating the graphics for the various pages or identifying and managing subcontractors.

• Researching and assessing competing applications and ensuring that our UI is at least competitive if not superior.

• Maintaining complete and accurate documentation.

• Writing or helping to write user instructions and tutorials.

• Making use of standard design techniques and tools.

• Performing thorough testing to ensure a robust and reliable application.

• Being an informed and vocal advocate for the users with the development team.

• Collaborating with the entire product team to keep the UI/UX closely synchronized with constantly evolving design philosophies.

• Understand educational software and applications and ensuring that our UI/UX conforms to accepted standards and practices.

UI/UX Design Requirements

The UI/UX is to meet or exceed these requirements and objectives:

• A professional UI/UX that is engaging and interesting and that captures and holds the user’s attention.

• A human factors design that is intuitive, natural, and efficient.

• A look and feel that is consistent across all of the subjects, while providing each subject editor with enough customization to make that subject distinctive and serve the needs of the users.

• The ability to use the application either with a mouse, pointing device, or touch screen or from the keyboard alone.

• The ability for the user to assign personalized shortcut keys for some or all functions.

• A UI that is suitable for all ages from middle school (11-12) to adult. A UI for younger children will be developed later.

• A UI that can run on all platforms (Windows, Mac, tablets, handhelds, phones, etc.).
