Website Demo Builder
Do you consider yourself a no-nonsense person who just likes to get stuff done? Are you particularly interested in online marketing and how a website can be structured to make a business more successful (for example, have you re-read Donald Miller’s StoryBrand)? Do you have a keen sense — an “eye” for — what makes a design feel polished and complete? If you’re nodding your head right now, read on, my friend!
We’re hiring a Website Demo Builder on a freelance contract (1099) basis for up to 30 hours per week. The schedule is flexible and all work is remote.
Who is Jottful?
Jottful is reimagining the way small businesses market themselves online — starting with their websites. We’re a U.S.-based early-stage software company with an all-remote workforce.
What is this position all about?
The Website Demo Builder uses Jottful’s proprietary software to assemble 1-3 page demonstration websites that help our prospective customers achieve their business goals. You will accomplish this by building websites that:
- Include the business’s branding elements (e.g., logo and colors)
- Incorporate marketing best practices (e.g., a clear information hierarchy)
- Are easy to navigate
- Are visually compelling
To design each sample website, you’ll be provided:
- Access to Jottful’s proprietary software
- All the text you’ll need for the website
- A basic, first-draft layout of the website elements
- A built-in library of stock photos and icons to choose from
This is not a traditional website “designer” role (for example, you won’t be doing concept sketching). Rather, you’ll start with most of the elements you need and you’ll assemble it all into a website that will be effective for the business. You’ll focus especially on information hierarchy and design polish.
Your client will be Jottful’s sales representatives, who will showcase your demo design for prospective customers.
