Azure is a rapidly expanding graphic and web design company based in Sunderland, with a reputation for high quality work and excellent customer care. We deal with all aspects of new and established media from brand identity and corporate literature to magazines, websites, video (on and off-line) and animation.

We are a crack team of ten young(ish) professionals – four designers, three developers, sales, admin and accounts, seeking a fourth website developer with a love for and understanding of website creation and an ability to communicate with humans.

Duties will involve meeting clients, listening to their requirements, liaising with the design team throughout the design process, taking existing designs and creating tableless, standards-compliant website layouts using XHTML and CSS, as well as programming in PHP using mySQL queries, the construction of e-commerce, content managed and database-driven websites. This can take place individually, or in the case of larger projects, can involve a longer process as part of a team.

This is a challenging role. It involves working to tight deadlines and producing work of a demonstrably high standard with huge emphasis placed on attention to detail. Understanding of and experience with Javascript and Flash, including Actionscript, is an advantage.

Based in our Sunderland office, this permanent post (subject to a three month probationary period), offers flexible working hours equivalent to 37½ hours a week. Azure believes strongly in an equitable and fair pay structure and offers employees a basic wage plus profit share, which, based on last year’s figures, equates to a starting salary of £16,000 per annum, including optional pension contributions. The basic wage is reviewed annually.
