About Square Waves

Square Waves is a fast-growing digital agency partnering with leading B2B companies across manufacturing, construction, professional services, and technology. We design, build, and launch digital ecosystems that modernize operations and accelerate growth.

We’re a team of creative problem-solvers who care about high-quality work, smart systems, and real results. If you thrive in a fast-moving environment where design meets strategy and technology, this is the place to grow.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Webflow Website Designer who combines design sensibility with technical know-how to plan, build, and launch top-tier websites.

You’ll own projects from concept to launch, collaborating with clients to define architecture, style, and user experience. From initial mockups and information architecture to SEO strategy, CMS structure, and launch details like redirects, you’ll create websites that are both visually refined and technically robust.

Key Responsibilities

Web Design & Development

• Build responsive, accessible, and conversion-focused websites in Webflow using best-practice class naming and structure.
• Create sitemaps and wireframes in collaboration with clients and internal stakeholders.
• Present design directions and visual style options to clients and adapt based on feedback.
• Translate designs into production-ready Webflow builds using strong attention to detail, consistent class structure, and reusable components.
• Implement Webflow Interactions and Animations that enhance user experience and match brand tone.

Technical Execution

• Manage DNS configurations confidently — connect domains, swap records, troubleshoot site launches — while ensuring no disruption to other services like email.
• Handle launches, redirects, and version control; ensure proper setup of 301 redirects and basic SEO structure.
• Implement basic SEO/AEO fundamentals: meta tags, alt text, indexing, canonical URLs, and integrate with tools like Google Search Console, SE Ranking, or SEMrush.
• Set up basic integrations via Zapier, Make, or direct API hooks (e.g., form submissions to CRMs, automation tools).

Collaboration & Feedback

• Work closely with clients and internal teams through every phase: discovery, design, development, and post-launch.
• Interpret client feedback and translate it into actionable design/development updates.
• Provide consultative input — explaining when a request may not be the best UX or technical choice.
• Document build structures, component systems, and launch notes for internal handoffs and long-term maintenance.

Maintenance & Optimization

• Manage ongoing site updates, content changes, and post-launch optimization requests.
• Troubleshoot issues in Webflow or connected systems.
• Monitor basic site performance metrics and recommend improvements.

Required Skills & Experience

• 3–5 years of professional experience designing and building websites.
• Proficiency in Webflow (CMS, Interactions, Class Systems, and Launch Workflow).
• Experience mapping information architecture, creating wireframes, and building client-ready site maps.
• Understanding of DNS, domain management, and how to safely update or troubleshoot records.
• Working knowledge of SEO tools and fundamentals.
• Experience with automation/integration tools like Zapier or Make.
• Familiarity with connecting Webflow forms and sites to CRMs or marketing systems.
• Excellent design sensibility, with proven experience producing high-quality, on-brand visuals.
• Strong communication and client collaboration skills.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience in an agency environment managing multiple client projects.
• Familiarity with other no-code platforms (WIX, Squarespace, WordPress).
• Experience with Google Tag Manager, Analytics, or conversion tracking.
• Understanding of A/B testing or personalization tools.
• Light knowledge of HTML/CSS for troubleshooting edge cases.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Work with an ambitious, talented team building digital experiences that make an impact.
• Opportunity to grow - we’re scaling quickly and encourage ownership.
• Remote flexibility with hybrid options in the Chicago area.
• Competitive salary, unlimited PTO, and full benefits.
