Squarespace Website Designer (Part-Time, Long-Term)

Job Overview: Website Designer (Part-Time, Long-Term)
$5–$8/hour | 20 hours/week | Work Remotely

We’re looking for a skilled and experienced Website Designer to build and manage professional, visually appealing, and user-friendly websites — primarily on Squarespace. This is a part-time (20 hours/week) role with the potential for long-term collaboration and growth.

You’ll start by helping to create a site for a personal brand, then expand into building landing pages and niche services for an established business that’s been around for over 20 years. If you have a sharp eye for design, strong Squarespace experience, and are comfortable working directly with the business owner to bring content to life — this is the role for you!

Who You Are:
-Experienced – You’ve been building and designing Squarespace sites for at least 2–3 years, ideally for U.S.-based small business owners.
-Design-Focused – You know what looks good and can translate content into polished, engaging pages without relying solely on templates.
-Independent but Collaborative – You can take direction and run with it but are also comfortable working directly with the business owner to align on content and goals.
-Versatile – While Squarespace is the main focus, familiarity with Shopify and social media design is a bonus.
-Organized and Detail-Oriented – You can handle multiple projects and stay on top of deadlines without needing micromanagement.

What You'll Do:
-Design & Develop: Build and maintain Squarespace websites, starting with a personal brand project and expanding into landing pages for niche services.
-Content Integration: Work with the owner to translate ideas and content into effective, visually appealing pages.
-Visual Design: Use tools like Canva (or similar) to create graphics for the website, landing pages, and marketing materials like downloadable guides or social media assets.
-SEO & Performance: Ensure pages are fast, optimized, and easy to navigate.
-E-Commerce Support: Occasionally help with Shopify updates and product listings.
-(Future Possibility): Depending on fit and interest, there may be opportunities to assist with social media content and graphics down the road — but the core focus is website design.

Requirements:
-Squarespace Expertise: At least 2–3 years of experience building Squarespace sites.
-Design Skills: Strong understanding of design principles, layout, and aesthetics.
-Technical Skills: Basic understanding of HTML/CSS is a bonus but not required.
-Communication: Ability to work independently while collaborating directly with the owner.
-Experience with U.S. Clients: Experience working with small business owners is a plus.
-Availability: Work on your own schedule but be available for quick check-ins between 12 PM – 5 PM (Mountain Time) a few times per week.

What We Offer:
-Part-Time & Long-Term: 20 hours/week of consistent work with potential for growth.
-Competitive Pay: $5–$8/hour based on experience.
-Flexible Schedule: Work when you want — just be available for check-ins during MST afternoons.
-Creative Collaboration: Direct input and feedback from the owner — your ideas will shape the brand’s identity.
-Growth Potential: If it’s a good fit, there’s room to expand into more hours and additional responsibilities over time.

If you’re ready to create websites that look great and perform even better, we’d love to hear from you!
