$3.5–5k/month | Full-time | Remote | EST overlap required

Hi there! 

I’m Aimee from Hawthorn Creative, and here is a short intro video to find out a little bit more about what we’re looking for.

I’m excited to tell you about who we are. We’re a creative marketing agency working across industries like hospitality, healthcare, wine & spirits, and real estate. Over the years, we’ve had the chance to work with some incredible brands, and we pride ourselves on delivering beautiful, functional websites that really capture each client’s identity.

We’re a close-knit and friendly team. Collaboration and communication are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re always looking for smart, proactive people who share our love for creating top-notch digital experiences. If you’re passionate about both design and development, and want to work on diverse and exciting projects, you’ll feel right at home with us.

We’re looking for a WordPress Web Designer & Developer who can combine creativity with technical expertise. You’ll be someone who can both design stunning, on-brand websites and then build them in WordPress - efficiently, precisely, and with a keen eye for detail.

Your responsibilities will include:

🎨 Design original, high-end websites in Adobe XD or Figma that reflect each client’s unique brand.

This is a full-time role, and you’ll need to overlap at least half of the US East Coast working day (8:30 AM – 5:30 PM EST).

⭐ Advanced developer skills (animations, integrations, customizations)
⭐ Experience connecting third-party platforms like Calendly, HubSpot, Mailchimp, or Live Chat

The ideal candidate is efficient, proactive, and communicates clearly.

You’re a self-starter who thrives in a team setting, always meets deadlines, and is eager to suggest improvements. You’re accountable, curious, and constantly looking to grow your skills while delivering excellent work.
