Web Design by Sheriar Designs: Impeccable Code | Beautiful Design

Yep, you heard it … I’m in search of a protégé to bring into Deluxe Digital Media. I am basically looking for a mini-me … me a few years ago, if you will. (Narcissistic much?)

We at DDM are looking for someone to bring in initially on a freelance basis to work on some of our smaller projects, but if the fit is exceptional it would hopefully lead to a full-time job. You would be working directly with me and I would happily impart any and all of my knowledge on you and hopefully get some or yours back in return. You would also have the extreme pleasure of working with some of my colleagues here – who are brilliant, friendly, and fun.

Who you are

You are passionate about the web and about doing things right. You are or you aspire to be a web standards guru. You love to code but also enjoy having a hand in design, and you have some talent for it. You have submitted to the CSS Zen Garden or you really wish you had. You are creating a career for yourself, not just looking for a job. You are fun to work with. You love to learn and grow in your field and enjoy being challenged.

Required

• You must be local to the San Francisco area and willing to work onsite in Berkeley
• You possess at least strong intermediate skills with XHTML & CSS with a desire to become an expert (if not one already)
• You have an eye for design and some talent for it with a desire to expand that talent
• You are proficient in Dreamweaver and Photoshop

In My Dreams (but not necessary)

• You have strong javascript skills and can help us with scripting tasks
• You can create and/or manipulate vector images in Illustrator
• You have experience with Flash

Ultimately

We are looking for someone who could become part of our team – someone who is driven and would contribute talent, ideas, enthusiasm, and knowledge. This is an incredible place to work. Last week I actually woke up one morning, realized it was Monday, and felt stoked because I got to go back to the office.

If Interested

Please send me an email letting me know why you think you and I would be a good fit for working together. In that email please include a link to your online portfolio. If you don’t have an online portfolio then include a list of 3—5 sites you have worked on and what your role in them was.

Please also let me know what you charge hourly and what your salary requirements would be for a full-time position. Be honest about this. We are not looking to hire the cheapest person. We care about the right fit and we believe in fair compensation.

Thank you and I look forward to scrutinizing your skill set … errr, I mean, getting to know you!
