L2 (LuxuryLab) is a think tank for prestige brands. Through events and original research, we bring together the top thought leaders in marketing, new media, and technology to help luxury and prestige brands navigate the digital age.
We are seeking an uber-talented website designer/developer to build us a chic, cutting-edge site that also integrates all of our social media efforts. The right candidate MUST be located in New York City. We will not respond if you are elsewhere—we require face-to-face, in-person meetings and brainstorming sessions.
Our current site, which needs an overhaul, is here: www.L2thinktank.com
Some of the tasks for our redesign and relaunch will include the following:
1. Work with us to develop ideas for and then design and build our site
2. Build a limited content management tool so our team can easily edit certain areas of the site
3. Build and integrated event-registration and ecommerce technology similar to EventBrite
4. Build landing pages as needed to collect contacts in the database file
5. Customize Facebook page and build out with innovative content solutions
6. Maintain the site as needed
Required skills
1. Solid design experience (provide examples of design work)
2. Expert in HTML/CSS
3. Expert in DHTML, Javascript and Javascript libraries such as JQuery, YUI, Prototype
4. Solid knowledge of server-side scripting (most likely PHP or Ruby on Rails)
5. Plus for knowledge of PHP libraries (Zend)
Though our budget is somewhat limited, we can promote your work at our events—all of which sell out and attract executives and managers from the top luxury and media brands.
