Web Designer (Full-Time, W-2)

About You

You're the kind of designer who can't walk past a storefront, billboard, or website without analyzing the typography, color palette, and layout hierarchy.

You've studied how brands like Anthropologie, Madewell, Glossier, and Magnolia make people feel something and you re obsessed with creating that same emotional pull through thoughtful, conversion-driven design.

You re not just here to make things pretty. You design experiences that feel like a trusted conversation. You re inspired by what s trending, but you know how to make a client s brand feel unique, never cookie-cutter.

You obsess over details, but you don t get stuck in them. You probably have a Pinterest board full of modern serif fonts, perfect buttons, and photography that makes people want to click  add to cart.  You ve either worked with eCommerce brands or followed enough of them to know what good looks like and what feels off.

Most importantly: You re not interested in being a cog in a wheel. You d rather work on a scrappy, fast-moving team where your ideas actually shape the work. You take the work seriously   not yourself. You re the kind of person who can give and take feedback with a smile, share memes between milestones, and dive deep when it s go-time. We re a fun, supportive, no-drama crew, and we want someone who fits right in.

Bonus points if:

• You know why brand   logo   and love helping clients figure that out

• You follow people like Charli Marie, Dan Mall, Ran Segall, or Josh Comeau

• You ve designed for ecom brands or Shopify storefronts before

• You ve ever said,  this font is giving the wrong vibe  and knew exactly what you meant

• You ve ever thought a little less of someone because they ve never watched The Office or Parks and Rec

About Capital Commerce

We're Capital Commerce, and we're not your typical "we help everyone with everything" agency. We have one focus: helping successful brick-and-mortar retailers ($1M+ revenue) translate their in-store success into online sales without losing what makes them special in-store.

While other agencies are throwing spaghetti at the wall with generic strategies, we've cracked the code on retail-to-online transformation. Our 12-week Momentum program doesn't just build websites - it creates integrated growth engines that feel like natural extensions of their physical stores.

Why this matters: When we succeed, independent retailers hire more people, serve more customers, and keep small towns thriving. It's marketing with actual meaning behind it.

Our culture: We work hard, celebrate wins, send way too many GIFs, and genuinely care about our clients' success. We're growing fast but we're not jerks about it. We believe in systems over hustle, results over hours, and that the best marketing feels helpful, not salesy.

Your ability to think from the client s perspective, collaborate with teammates, and contribute across departments makes you a key pillar in our growing agency.
