Yippa is basically a solo operation based in Seattle. I work with nonprofits around the country and I've got way too much work to take on at this moment and have work to get started even over the weekend if someone is available.

But what i'm really looking for is someone to take on some of the overflow that I have. I do work ranging from print, flash banners, email design/coding/testing to website interfaces. You can get an idea of my work at http://yippa.com

The qualifications are this person should be fairly flexible, work quickly and sometimes without much direction. They need to be detail oriented, understand UI design and have a clean aesthetic. Someone that understands the capabilities of JQuery and other frameworks and working with grids is a plus. Anyways, you get the picture. I use Basecamp so being familar with that is a plus. Also using a Mac would be a plus for font/file compatibility.

An example of a project I have now is where I have the homepage and interior page designed, but need a few more pages designed with the look/feel applied.

I'm ready to go when you are, so send over URL's, samples, contact info. Ideally, this person is another freelancer that isn't looking for a full-time job because I'd like to find someone that can be available for more work. I do work with nonprofits and i'm just another freelancer, so cost will definitely play a factor. But you'll hopefully have steady work and doing work for good causes!

Apply: Send an brief introduction, URL's, rate, samples and how to reach you. Like I mentioned above, I've got work that we can start on ASAP. Contact me at hello@yippa.com

[If you don't know how to design a landing page meant for converting customers, then please don't apply. If you don't have examples of such landing  / squeeze pages, then please move along.]

Looking for a killer designer who can create landing pages and website templates meant to convert. The only skill I care about is your design skills. We have coders, developers etc who can turn your design into an actual page...

So, all I want to know is if you understand how to design toward specific audiences, understand web design best practices, and if you are able to work under deadlines.

If so, please send me examples of such designs. If you don't have any examples please don't apply.

We will start out hourly, but would like to eventually work toward a per-page cost to help with our budgeting.

Thanks!
