Web Designer (Full-Time, W-2)

About You

You're the kind of designer who can't walk past a storefront, billboard, or website without analyzing the typography, color palette, and layout hierarchy.

You've studied how brands like Anthropologie, Madewell, Glossier, and Magnolia make people feel something and you’re obsessed with creating that same emotional pull through thoughtful, conversion-driven design.

You’re not just here to make things pretty. You design experiences that feel like a trusted conversation. You’re inspired by what’s trending, but you know how to make a client’s brand feel unique, never cookie-cutter.

You obsess over details, but you don’t get stuck in them. You probably have a Pinterest board full of modern serif fonts, perfect buttons, and photography that makes people want to click “add to cart.” You’ve either worked with eCommerce brands or followed enough of them to know what good looks like and what feels off.

Most importantly: You’re not interested in being a cog in a wheel. You’d rather work on a scrappy, fast-moving team where your ideas actually shape the work. You take the work seriously — not yourself. You’re the kind of person who can give and take feedback with a smile, share memes between milestones, and dive deep when it’s go-time. We’re a fun, supportive, no-drama crew, and we want someone who fits right in.

Bonus points if:

You know why brand ≠ logo — and love helping clients figure that out
You follow people like Charli Marie, Dan Mall, Ran Segall, or Josh Comeau
You’ve designed for ecom brands or Shopify storefronts before
You’ve ever said, “this font is giving the wrong vibe” and knew exactly what you meant
You’ve ever thought a little less of someone because they’ve never watched The Office or Parks and Rec

About Capital Commerce

We're Capital Commerce, and we're not your typical "we help everyone with everything" agency. We have one focus: helping successful brick-and-mortar retailers ($1M+ revenue) translate their in-store success into online sales without losing what makes them special in-store.

While other agencies are throwing spaghetti at the wall with generic strategies, we've cracked the code on retail-to-online transformation. Our 12-week Momentum program doesn't just build websites - it creates integrated growth engines that feel like natural extensions of their physical stores.

Why this matters: When we succeed, independent retailers hire more people, serve more customers, and keep small towns thriving. It's marketing with actual meaning behind it.

Our culture: We work hard, celebrate wins, send way too many GIFs, and genuinely care about our clients' success. We're growing fast but we're not jerks about it. We believe in systems over hustle, results over hours, and that the best marketing feels helpful, not salesy.

Job Summary

We’re looking for a Web Designer who thrives in a collaborative, fast-moving environment and is excited to build conversion-focused websites and branding for independent retail brands. You’ll play a key role in shaping the digital presence of our clients—from early discovery and brand identity to final Shopify site design and handoff.

This isn’t your typical agency role. You’ll be part of a specialized, mission-driven team with a focus on quality, efficiency, and support. You’ll also contribute to Capital Commerce’s internal marketing efforts through digital design work, lead magnets, and visuals that support our own brand presence and client pipeline.

If you’re organized, coachable, client-conscious, and ready to grow alongside a collaborative team—you might be a perfect fit.

Core Responsibilities

Design and develop mockups for client Shopify websites (home, collection, and product pages) using Sketch
Collaborate with the team to build out the client’s Brand Identity Blueprint (color palette, fonts, brand visuals) in Canva
Contribute to early-stage discovery sessions around brand voice, visuals, values, and ideal customer
Apply conversion best practices to design layouts that support eCommerce growth
Revise designs based on client and internal feedback in a professional, timely manner
Work closely with developers and our client success team to ensure site designs align with key strategies and client goals

Occasionally collaborate on team initiatives or troubleshoot urgent client needs

Day-to-Day Activities

Join weekly internal project check-ins and client kickoff meetings
Manage deadlines for multiple clients at various stages of design
Use Sketch and Canva to create new designs or revise based on feedback
Stay in communication with the team (Slack, Basecamp, Loom, Zoom) to keep projects moving forward smoothly
Track and update your deliverables in Basecamp to stay aligned with the team and timelines

How This Role Fits Into the Organization

Design is essential to our delivery. As our designer, you’ll work closely with our creative team, marketing coach, and developers to ensure each client has a brand and website that reflects their story and brings their unique brand experience online. Your ability to think from the client’s perspective, collaborate with teammates, and contribute across departments makes you a key pillar in our growing agency.

Basic understanding of eCommerce design best practices
Comfortable managing multiple projects and hitting deadlines consistently

Excellent time management — proactive with timelines and deliverables

Receptive to feedback — revises designs without ego and seeks continuous improvement

Prior work with retail brands or DTC websites
Advanced Sketch and Canva proficiency
Professional understanding of email design, ad creative, and/or marketing funnels
