Our focus:
- custom design-oriented websites mainly based on Laravel / Statamic / Vue / Nuxt / Jamstack
- custom e-commerce websites mainly based on Shopify
We don’t work with off the shelf themes and site-builders, big proponents of clean code and modern tech.
Ideal candidate will:
- work closely with our talented designers and bring Figma-based designs to life with high attention to detail
- have backend experience enough to integrate frontend with Laravel/Statamic CMS
- have experience with Vue and Nuxt, but based on strong knowledge of vanilla JS
- have experience with Shopify custom themes and apps integrations
- have good base knowledge of semantic HTML, accessibility best practices
- know accessibility, performance and cross-browser/cross-device best practices
- know modern CSS and pre-processors, BEM methodology
- have knowledge of SEO technical best-practices (Open Graph, JSONLD etc)
- strive to improve, learn and write clean and reusable code

Bonus points:
- WebGL/animation platforms (gsap or similar)

- basic DevOps skills (AWS services)
If you don’t have all the above, but have most of them and ready to learn - feel free to apply!
From our end:
- interesting, creative and challenging projects
- technical project managers, no need to deal with odd client requests directly
- new tech, ability to experiment with things
- (sometimes) decent jokes in our Slack channels
