Design Jobs on the Wall

Web Designer

Viget Labs is a full-service web consulting and development firm headquartered in Falls Church, VA with an office in Durham, NC. We've been at it since 1999 and have earned a solid reputation as a rare firm that does both great design and development work when building award-winning web sites. We work with early-stage web start-ups (e.g, Squidoo, Odeo, Loladex, and a few we can't talk about yet), as well as mature businesses (e.g., National Geographic, Choice Hotels) and non-profits (e.g., PBS, EarthEcho).

Our Web Designers:

• Are multi-faceted creatures who walk the line between design aesthetics and the user experience while ALWAYS considering accessibility, usability, and web standards.


• Seamlessly interact with developers to ensure proper implementation.


• Are not boring. (In fact, they’re ridiculously talented AND sociable.)


• Create awe-inspiring designs for web sites, email campaigns, and web apps.


• Don’t regurgitate old designs and “tweak” them to make a “new” design.


• Masterfully translate functional requirements and wireframes into simple UIs.


• See endless possibilities on a blank canvas and don’t need much design direction to create functional masterpieces.


• Are wizards in HTML, XHTML, and CSS; they demonstrate exceptional coding quality and scalable CSS/HTML.


• Don’t pee their pants when giving presentations to clients.


• Are proficient with Photoshop and other design software and preferably have experience with Flash, ActionScripting, JavaScript; libraries such as Scriptaculous, Protype, or JQuery; and/or server-side code such as PHP or Ruby on Rails.


• To be considered to work at Viget Labs, you should exhibit these characteristics too.

You must also:

• Have at least three years of professional, post-collegiate experience under your belt.


• Have a BFA, MFA or equivalent work experience.
