Web Design: UI, CSS, & a certain coolness factor.

Stint building UI, blogs, & other...

I find myself in need of some design, css, interface, mocks, html and other stuff. We've decided to bring some of this development inside so I'm casting a web to see if I know anyone who's in the market or a freelancer who may want a gig of a few months. You'll be builiding blogs, UI work, CSS, mocks and demos, possibly some print and collateral, whatever needs doing.

This is an opportunity, not a job. Contractor at first till we both decide if we like each other. This is a perfect opportunity for a younger designer who codes or a coder who knows a little about design to get a toe into a real startup.

Must have:

• Design sense that doesn't suck. The better your design sense, the more I'll like you.
• Familiarity with wordpress & blogging.
• CSS, HTML, & probably some java junk.
• Smarter that you are dumb.
• Ability to get things done.
  

Compensation:

This is a paying gig that will probably last a few months at least. If you're entry level and willing to learn, fine. If you're senior and willing to pull your weight for a while, also fine. I'll pay whatever you're actually worth.

You can email me at jeffbarson at sendside dot com and I'll call you.

Sendside Swag

I've put up a store over on Cafe Press for Sendside Swag and Email 2.0.

(I wanted a coffee mug but all I got was this thong.)

We're reworking a number of things so you may want to grab a mug or some boxers for posterity. It would be like having the Google logo on your underwear with all of the letters the same color. That's got to be worth something on eBay in the future.

In fact, I'll give anyone who buys this thong and emails me a picture of themselves in it a Sendside pro account when go live. (Is that gramatically correct?)

If you send a video, I'll give you two.
