UX / UI Designer needed

[TheTokenGeek]

If you have read my previous news post you will be aware that we are now looking to recruit a part-time User Experience / User Interface (UX/UI) Designer. This is integral to getting the redesign of the site correct and we need a professional to come onboard as soon as possible to help us!

 

We've received a heck of a lot of feedback from the survey we ran and on top of that lots of members have been sending me personal messages about what they'd like to see changed on the sites. From the information I've received, I know that you are all very interested in being a part of this process. The Nexus community is one of the best (if not the best) online community I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of and the devotion to the site is incredible. Because we know there's a lot of people who feel passionately about this redesign process we thought we would post this position here first to see if we have any takers.

 

Obviously we'd much rather work with a professional UX/UI designer who is already a part of this community. Someone from within the community will be much more attached to the project and have a deeper understanding of the requirements of the site as opposed to someone who's never used this site before.

 

If you're a professional UX/UI designer and you're interested in working with us then please take a look at the below job posting.

 

User Experience / User Interaction Designer

 

We here at Nexus Mods are looking for a passionate and like minded individual to work with our small but very fun team to do lots of amazing things including talking about cats and beards, taking the piss out of the Nexus Mod Manager programmers and chatting about random rubbish on Skype. Oh, and we would also like you to be able to do some UX/UI stuff, too!

 

This position is offered on a part-time, freelance contract basis. Fees can be discussed on a per-applicant basis, but this is, of course, a paying role as we're looking for a professional.

 

Ideally we're looking for someone who has at least 2 years previous proven experience or who has a very strong portfolio from University, college or similar.

 

We're looking for someone to:

 

• Research and understand interaction design trends (those cool sliders, drop downs and things that make the site flow).
  
• Analyze data given from the Nexus Mods community; including, but not limited to Surveys, Feedback Forms, Forums and PM's.
  
• Consult closely with Robin and I regarding necessary functionality.
  
• Have top notch design skills, attention to detail and an aptitude to do things off your own back.
  
• Be able to create visual representations of sites using wireframes, process flows and visual design composites.
  
• Have very strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
  

It would be great, but not essential, if you lived in or around (or can travel to) the South East of England, to make it easier to converse face to face.

 

The position will report directly to Robin and I.

 

If you feel that you have the necessary qualifications, ability and drive then we would love to hear from you.  Please email me at [email protected] and provide details of why you think you would be awesome for the role, a link to any portfolio you may have and also your Curriculum Vitae / Resume.

 

Robin and I look forward to hearing from you.

Good luck with the recruitment. I'll tweet it out!

Oh man. I'm a graphic designer but as far as modern coding goes, I'm out of luck. I used to code very heavily back in the early '00s. Ran quite a few successful websites.

 

I'll be happy to offer what I can though! Maybe work alongside the new designer?

 

I wanna clarify: Regarding user experience, I'd be a great asset. Currently I do social media branding and brand design of course.

 

Hoping for the best :) I have around 15 years of experience

I should probably also mention that I'm extremely oriented in organization and analyzing, digital filing, etc.

Data is a way of life :p

UX professional chiming in -- Just wanted to say I think it's great you guys are doing this. UX is overlooked far too often in this day and age. Keep up the good work, and best of luck!
