Company description
Vanity Geeks is a web design and development studio specializing in high-end, custom real estate websites for agents who want to stand out visually, rank competitively, and convert better. Our work focuses on front-end design, UX, and SEO enhancements built on top of existing platforms, using custom CSS and JavaScript overlays rather than rebuilding systems from scratch.
Role description
This is a remote, project-based Front-End Web Designer role with the potential to grow into full-time.
You will be working within an existing Django-based CMS and admin panel that is consistent across all client websites. The backend, page structure, templates, and inputs are already built and opinionated.
Your role is to design and implement polished front-end experiences inside that system.
Pages are created using predefined fields and templates within the admin panel, with custom HTML injected via content editors and code blocks. Styling and interactivity are handled through shared CSS and JavaScript overlay files that override and enhance the existing site.
You will not be building backend systems, page architectures, or themes from scratch. The work is focused on front-end execution, visual refinement, and UX improvements within a fixed structure.
Most projects share a similar structural framework, but each requires a completely custom visual treatment. The work is primarily redesign-focused, with a strong emphasis on brand expression, front-end precision, SEO best practices, and user experience improvements.
This role is best suited for someone who is comfortable working within constraints and shipping clean, production-ready front-end work efficiently.
Responsibilities
• Design and implement custom front-end layouts using existing CMS inputs
• Write clean, maintainable HTML injected via admin content editors and code blocks
• Customize and extend shared CSS and JavaScript overlay files
• Apply brand systems consistently across pages and components
• Optimize layout, content structure, and UX for SEO and performance
• Work within predefined templates without breaking existing functionality
• Collaborate asynchronously using Trello and Google Workspace
Qualifications
• Strong web design and front-end development skills
• Portfolio demonstrating responsive, production-ready websites
• Excellent HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript skills
• Comfort working inside existing CMS platforms and inherited codebases
• Understanding of SEO fundamentals, content hierarchy, and UX principles
• Familiarity with design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, or Sketch
• Strong communication skills and attention to detail
Bachelor’s degree in Web Design, Graphic Design, or equivalent experience.
Preferred qualifications
• Experience working with Django admin panels or CMS-driven platforms
• Experience with real estate websites and/or IDX systems
• Familiarity with override-based CSS/JS architectures
• Portfolio examples of real estate or content-heavy websites
• Fluent English communication
Compensation & structure
This is a contractor, per-project role with ongoing monthly work. There is an opportunity for full-time employment with consistent performance and reliability.
