Toronto Agency Seeks Visual Web Designer
About Us
We're a boutique web marketing, branding, & design agency based in Queen West that works with small businesses in all industries to generate amazing results from the internet. Our client base is expanding quickly to include some really cool international clients and we're looking for design talent to match. Our flagship service, Dentaware.com, designs & markets custom websites that help dentists and dental centres generate new patients online and we will be launching a number of new web brands in this year. We're young, hip, expanding fast, and fun to work with. A good designer will find a great opportunity for learning, growth, and potential project management roles with us.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for talented visual web designers to help us with the increased demand for dental and small business website design.

You'll have your own desk at our great Queen/Spadina office that you can use weekdays from 9am - 6pm.

Laying out, designing, & directing of storyboards for Flash or jQuery animations and writing detailed directions for our animators to bring your concepts to life (you may choose to execute the Flash yourself if you have the experience)
