About the Role

We're looking for a Webflow Website Designer who combines design sensibility with technical know-how to plan, build, and launch top-tier websites. You'll own projects from concept to launch, collaborating with clients to define architecture, style, and user experience. This full-time position is based in the Chicago area with remote or hybrid flexibility, perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment where design meets strategy and technology.

Responsibilities

• Build responsive, accessible, and conversion-focused websites in Webflow using best-practice class naming, structure, and reusable components
• Own projects end-to-end: create sitemaps and wireframes, present design directions to clients, and translate feedback into production-ready builds
• Manage DNS configurations, domain connections, and site launches with confidence—handling redirects, version control, and ensuring no disruption to connected services
• Implement Webflow Interactions and Animations that enhance user experience and match brand tone
• Execute SEO fundamentals including meta tags, alt text, canonical URLs, and integration with tools like Google Search Console and SEMrush
• Set up integrations via Zapier, Make, or direct API hooks to connect forms, CRMs, and automation tools
• Manage ongoing site updates, troubleshoot issues, monitor performance metrics, and provide consultative guidance on UX and technical best practices
• Document build structures, component systems, and launch notes for internal handoffs and long-term maintenance

Requirements

• 3–5 years of professional experience designing and building websites
• Proficiency in Webflow including CMS, Interactions, Class Systems, and Launch Workflow
• Experience mapping information architecture, creating wireframes, and building client-ready site maps
• Understanding of DNS, domain management, and how to safely update or troubleshoot records
• Working knowledge of SEO tools and fundamentals
• Experience with automation/integration tools like Zapier or Make
• Excellent design sensibility with proven experience producing high-quality, on-brand visuals and strong communication and client collaboration skills

Nice to Have

• Experience in an agency environment managing multiple client projects
• Familiarity with other no-code platforms such as WIX, Squarespace, or WordPress
• Experience with Google Tag Manager, Analytics, or conversion tracking
• Understanding of A/B testing or personalization tools
