Role Description

Website Designers at GoLive get to bring bold, personality-packed websites to life alongside our team during our signature Design Sprint workflow. You’ll take the lead on the visual direction for both Restyle Designs and Custom Website Designs and turn client content into stunning, high converting Squarespace sites that feel WOW.

Working with GoLive means you get the BEST parts of being a designer without the burnout. Our streamlined process keeps everything organized, smooth, and FUN so you can focus on designing beautiful things instead of juggling marketing, sales, invoicing, or client follow up. You’ll also get to collaborate with a supportive team instead of designing alone plus work with cool, creative, and sometimes high profile brands you’ll be proud to show off.

Because our sprints move quickly, we ask for your full attention when you're in one. You’ll create original concepts, communicate clearly with clients, show up professionally on calls, and bring your creative A-game from start to finish. When we all show up strong, our clients get the GoLive experience they rave about and YOU get to do your best work inside a process that actually supports you.

Fit and Flexibility
