About Us

We exist to amplify the work of people who are passionate about what they do -- because when we help them tell their story clearly and design with intention, they grow. And that growth creates jobs, serves more people, and fuels human flourishing.

We build, maintain, and grow websites that deliver for clients who genuinely care about the work they're doing. We're a small, mission-driven team looking for a Web Designer / Developer who can blend creativity with technical know-how to bring purposeful design to life online.

About the Role

We're hiring a

Web Designer / Developer

-- someone who's equally comfortable thinking through the look and feel of a website and making it work beautifully in a browser.

You'll take creative ownership of client websites, from designing page layouts and visual assets in Adobe tools to developing them into functional, high-performing sites in HTML, WordPress, and other CMS platforms.

You don't need to be a backend expert (yet), but you should be eager to learn. If you can build strong front-end experiences and are interested in understanding what happens under the hood, you'll fit right in.

Important Note: This is an In-Office Role

We believe great collaboration happens when we're in the same room. The energy, quick problem-solving, and spontaneous creativity that comes from being together is hard to replicate over Zoom. That's why this role is based entirely in our Sugarcreek, OH office, and it's built for someone who enjoys the dynamics of a healthy, creative team working shoulder to shoulder.

Working Environment

Our team is made up of individuals who strive to build their lives around the teachings of Scripture. While we welcome all applicants, this position requires someone who is comfortable and respectful working closely with a team that values faith as a central part of both life and work.

What We're Looking For

Strong visual design skills and a solid understanding of UX/UI principles Proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud (especially Photoshop, Dreamweaver, XD) Experience designing and developing websites in WordPress (or similar CMS) Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and responsive design Familiarity with JavaScript and basic troubleshooting skills Curiosity and willingness to learn backend concepts or CMS integrations A collaborative spirit -- someone who enjoys problem-solving as part of a team A respectful approach to working in a faith-centered, Scripture-oriented environment

Bonus Points For

Experience with DNS. Email Setup, Domains, or hosting environments Familiarity with Shopify, BigCommerce or other modern CMS tools Understanding of SEO and site optimization best practices A creative eye for motion, animation, or micro-interactions A portfolio that shows both design range and front-end skill

Why This Role Matters

Our clients rely on us to make their websites not just beautiful, but effective -- places where story, design, and performance work together to build trust and drive growth. Your role connects all of those pieces, helping clients communicate clearly and confidently in the digital space.
