Build Responsive Website for a Media Agency

We're a post-production studio serving media houses, production companies, and content agencies across North America. We're hiring a designer-developer to design and build our marketing site from scratch. The site's job is to convert North American production teams into booked discovery calls with us. **What we're looking for is a point of view.** We've seen the templated agency-site look dark background, big headline, three service cards, testimonial slider, done. That's not what we want. We want a site that feels like it was designed for a post-production studio specifically, not adapted from a generic template. Bring us a visual direction that reflects what we actually do. **Scope:** - Design: single-page marketing site, from concept to final Figma file - Two rounds of design revisions included - Development: hand-coded HTML/CSS/JS (no page builders, no Wix, no WordPress themes) - Fully responsive, mobile-first - Animations and micro-interactions where they earn their place - One embedded portfolio video section (we'll send the video during the build) - Contact form or booking integration (we currently use Calendly) - Basic Google Analytics 4 or Plausible setup - Deploy to Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or Vercel — your recommendation - DNS cutover from our existing site with **zero disruption to our email records** (SPF/DKIM/DMARC must not be touched — we run outbound campaigns from this domain, so this is a hard requirement) - 301 redirects from legacy URLs on the current site - Handoff docs so we can update copy without calling you **What we already have to work from:** - Brand: logo, primary brand color, tagline - Positioning: post-production on flat monthly retainer for North American media houses - Copy and content: we can supply, or you can draft and we'll refine - Client roster, verified reviews, and case-study material available **About the fit:** - Strong vanilla HTML/CSS/JS - we don't need a React SPA for a marketing page - Real portfolio of design-forward marketing sites (not just dashboards or e-commerce) - Can articulate design decisions, not just execute - Comfortable with DNS and static-site deployment - Available for a weekly call in overlapping business hours **To apply, please:** 1. Start your proposal with the word "**sequence**" so we know you read this post 2. Share links to two or three live marketing sites you designed *and* developed not templates you customized, not designs someone else built 3. In one sentence, tell us the visual direction you'd explore for a post-production studio and why 4. In one sentence, tell us how you'd handle the DNS cutover without disrupting our email deliverability 5. Give us a fixed-price quote, a delivery window, and what's included in your two revision rounds We'll ignore generic proposals. Specific and opinionated beats polished and generic every time.
