Front End Developer with Craft CMS, Tailwind etc,

We’re on the hunt for a talented and ambitious Front-End Web Web Developer to join our team. The successful applicant will likely have 3-5 years experience developing bespoke websites and be comfortable working with modern front end development tools and frameworks.

Need to know

• Salary around £35k, dependent on experience
• UK based, full time, with flexible or hybrid working options
• MacBook with 27" external display, keyboard and mouse

In joining the team at A Digital, you'll be working with long established clients including Windermere Lake Cruises, James Clay and Hawkshead Relish. You'll also be supporting our ambitious plans for growth as we look to extend our client base over the coming months.

About the role

You’ll be joining our busy team and contributing to full project builds, smaller site updates, browser testing and anything else to enable us to meet the high expectations of our clients. You’ll be comfortable working towards project milestones, reporting to our studio manager and collaborating with colleagues and clients to keep projects moving forwards.

Working from bespoke designs produced in tools like Figma, we build high performing and rock solid responsive websites and custom applications. Our stack includes Craft CMS and Laravel with much of our code written from scratch, so experience integrating with server side code and CMS tags is a must.

Ideally you'll have experienced the fast-paced nature of working in an agency, or you might have been freelancing and be on the look out for a new opportunity.

We’ll expect you to be able to

• Write responsive, maintainable and performant code with HTML, ECMAScript and CSS3 (we use Tailwind.css on all new builds, but older sites can be using different variations of CSS)
• Accurately code page templates from design tools such as Sketch and Figma
• Build responsive websites with a CMS (our preferred platform is Craft CMS)
• Bring your own ideas and creative problem solving to projects
• Maintain and support our existing sites
• Test and debug errors to ensure cross-browser compatibility
• Be an excellent communicator both internally with our team and our clients
• Estimate and manage your own time, as well as take the initiative to share new ideas
• Work with Git and deploy code from repos
• Have a solid grasp of web standards and accessibility

Additional Skills

Any of the following skills would be a bonus.

• Knowledge of Tailwind.css
• Experience with Craft CMS and Twig templating (or at least, the desire to learn it)
• Familiarity with PHP or similar backend technologies
• A solid grasp of build tools and package managers (such as Webpack, Gulp, Composer)
• Experience with other platforms including ExpressionEngine, WordPress or Shopify (although we never build on WordPress, we occasionally inherit WordPress sites and migrate them to Craft CMS).
