Squarespace Web Designer for a 2-Part Project

Other Jobs To Apply

We need someone who can make beautiful websites on Squarespace, using existing templates, tools, and plug-ins.

We are a board game company, launching in 2027 on Kickstarter.

This is a 2-phase project.

Phase 1: We need a basic site (either 1 page or 2-3 pages) with a creative landing page that will include our logo, a "coming soon" message, and a sign-up form for our newsletter. This needs to happen ASAP. Open to the logo being animated. We need creative ideas for ways to make this feel FUN, COOL, and EXCITING. Not just a basic site slapped together. But something that feels unique and special. We might also have a couple of secondary pages that may or may not be linked in the top navigation.)

Phase 2: We will add more pages to our site within a few months that includes our team, some other resources, and more. (Still to come on what this.)

We need someone who is creative and clever. Right now, we do not have a lot of visual assets to lean on, and we don't want to use lame stock "game" art. So we need a creative way to visualize a "coming soon."

To apply, share 2-3 Squarespace sites you've designed. Also share with me your clever idea for how to do a starter 1-pager with just a logo, tagline, and sign-up form. We only have one chance to build excitement for our brand, and so it needs to be right! Also tell me how quickly you could have a site up and running.

BONUS POINTS if you can bring in motion or animation to the logo and onto the site. Tell me if you can do this and share an example.

If you have other design skills, great. We might need someone for Kickstarter and other design work. But right now, a Squarespace site is our start!

*Note, this was posted previously, so if you saw it before, please apply again.
