We're looking for a bad-ass visual designer to join our team of talented folks in a beautiful NYC downtown office.

• You have a good understanding of type, color and space, and can design exceptionally well for the web (you should be ridiculously skilled with Photoshop).
• You understand that design is beyond just making things look pretty.
• You care as much about the visual aesthetics as you do about usability. You make design decision with the user in mind.
• You take pride in doing great work, and you care about the details (that is, you deliver pixel-perfect work).
• You have a different, fresh and interesting perspective to share with us on designing marketing sites, applications, and usability.
• You have done some great work and can send us links to your portfolio and sites you've done.
• (Big Plus) You can chop up a Photoshop comp and turn it into something "live" with good, clean, standard-compliant XHTML and CSS.
• You want to be part of a small, growing company that is making an impact on the workflow and efficiency of small business.
• You're authorized to work in the United States.

Who we are:

• We encourage experimentation, and your crazy ideas might not be so crazy here.
• We are committed to supporting small business, from writing our own articles about issues facing small businesses, to giving away our software to new start-ups. We want everyone to succeed.

Our offer:

Work that is inspiring, challenging, and fun. And we'll pay you for it.

This is a contract-to-hire position, in our downtown New York City office. If we like each other, we'll hire you full time. Please apply only if you are authorized to work in the United States.
