Website Developer

About the Role

We're looking for a skilled Website Developer to build the new version of the Applica website. This is a project-based contractor role (~1 month) with potential for ongoing hourly-based support after the initial launch.

You'll be working directly with a technical person from our team who will review your work, answer questions, and provide feedback throughout the project.

Tech Stack:

• Astro
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS
• KeyStatic CMS

Key Tasks:

• Develop the Applica website from scratch based on ready-to-implement Figma designs (~10-15 pages)
• Deliver pixel-perfect implementation matching the designs exactly
• Implement all transitions and animations as specified in the designs
• Build fully responsive layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile screens
• Create templated pages as CMS entities so new pages can be added via CMS without development (KeyStatic CMS integration already exists as a reference)
• Implement standard landing page elements: forms, pop-ups, newsletter subscription forms
• Integrate analytics tracking (e.g., Google Analytics, PostHog)
• Write clean, readable, and maintainable code with solid architecture
• Collaborate with our technical person for code reviews and feedback

Note: CMS content creation and Zapier integrations are not part of the scope (handled by our team), but collaborative input is welcome.

Skills and Experience

Must have:

• 1+ year of commercial experience in website development
• Astro (or React with willingness to learn Astro quickly)
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS
• KeyStatic CMS (or similar headless CMS experience)
• Git (feature branches, pull requests, merging – we follow Git flow with CI/CD deploying to staging and production)
• Familiarity with Figma for design-to-code workflows
• Extensive experience with Claude Code and Figma MCP for AI-assisted development
• Portfolio with examples of your work (GitHub repositories and/or live websites)

Nice to have:

• Vercel deployment experience

What We Offer:

• Fully remote project-based collaboration with clear scope and deliverables
• Direct communication via Slack with a dedicated technical point of contact
• Flexible sync calls as needed to clarify requirements and discuss progress
• Potential for ongoing support work (hourly-based) after the website launch – adding new pages, features, and iterations

This Role is For You If You:

• Can deliver high-quality, pixel-perfect websites from Figma designs
• Are comfortable working independently while staying in sync with the team
• Leverage AI tools to work efficiently without compromising quality
• Take pride in writing clean, maintainable code
