Job description

If you like designing with purpose – and actually building what you design, this role is for you.

About Us

Voodoochilli and Heritage Creative are two closely connected, design‑led agencies with over 25 years of combined experience. We work across a wide range of sectors, from global brands and public bodies to cultural and heritage organisations. Our clients include AliExpress, the City of London Corporation, Canterbury Cathedral, the Design Museum and Engel & Völkers.

The Role

We’re looking for a Front‑end Designer/Developer who can turn briefs into clear, thoughtful Figma designs and then build them in WordPress using clean, custom themes. The role leans towards design, but strong front‑end build skills are essential. You’ll work fully remotely and will have the autonomy to manage your own workload in a calm, senior‑team environment.

What You’ll Do

• Transform client briefs into polished, thoughtful Figma designs that bring ideas to life.
• Make smart UX and design decisions around layout, hierarchy, and content flow – always with the user in mind.
• Design reusable UI components and build simple, scalable design systems.
• Bring your designs to life by building them in WordPress using custom themes.
• Confidently work with ACF Gutenberg blocks, and structured content to create flexible, future‑proof sites.
• Craft responsive layouts and subtle interactions that feel smooth and intentional across devices.
• Collaborate closely with the wider team, clearly communicating progress and ideas at every stage.
• Partner with backend developers to ensure your design vision is fully realised in the final build.

Required Experience

• Strong Figma skills, with confidence in layouts, components, and user flows.
• A solid grasp of UX fundamentals and a sharp eye for clean, considered interface design.
• Proven experience building custom WordPress themes from the ground up.
• Strong working knowledge of ACF, Gutenberg, and WordPress best practices.
• Excellent HTML and CSS skills, plus a working knowledge of PHP for WordPress theming.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership, and see tasks through from start to finish.

Nice to Have

• Experience working in a digital or creative agency environment.
• Comfortable presenting work or talking through design decisions with clients.
• Experience designing and building for a range of sectors, brands, or audiences.

What We Offer

• Fully remote working with a sustainable work‑life balance.
• Varied, meaningful work across two agencies and a wide range of sectors.
• A powerful Mac, large 2nd display, keyboard, mouse and dock, and the software you need to do your job properly.
• An optional, all‑expenses‑paid annual team retreat in Portugal.
• A calm, straightforward working culture focused on doing good work.

If you’re a Front‑end Designer/Developer who enjoys balancing design thinking with hands‑on build work – and you’re looking for a remote role where quality genuinely comes first – we’d love to hear from you.
