Front-End & Back-End Developers

Web Developer is needed in Springfield, United States.

We are looking for an experienced freelance front-end and back-end web developer(s) who is motivated to combine the art of design with the art of programming for an upcoming 4-6 month website project — individuals and duo-teams are encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities will include being a part of the planning process to ensure the framework of the website achieves the client’s requested capabilities, good UI/UX practices, and translating the website art design to actual code that will produce visual elements of the application. You will help to bridge the gap between visual design and technical implementation by taking an active role on both sides to help define how the final product looks and works.

This is a Twine Enterprise project. You need to be a Twine Pro to pitch. Click here to learn more.
