Designer + Next.js developer for a manufacturing SaaS site with motion (Payload CMS)

We're a software startup building AI tools for manufacturers. We need someone to design and build our marketing website from the ground up. That means brand visuals, motion, and a working site. The site aims at plant leaders and floor engineers. We'll supply the copy. You bring the look, the motion, and the build. The stack is fixed Next.js for the front end Payload as the CMS Please only apply if you've shipped with both. We want the marketing team to edit pages without touching code, so a clean Payload setup matters. Pages Six pages: Home Industry Product Use cases About us Case study What you'll deliver A small brand kit: colour palette, type choices, logo usage, and core visual elements Page designs for all six pages Motion and interactive design: scroll effects, hover states, transitions, and a few signature moments that make the site feel alive without slowing it down A responsive build on Next.js, wired to Payload Reusable components and blocks so we can add or edit pages later Handoff: repo access and a short guide on how to run and edit the site What we're looking for Strong visual design. Clean, modern, and credible for a technical B2B audience. No clutter, no consumer-app gloss. Real motion and interaction skill. Show us sites where movement guides the eye and adds meaning, not decoration. Proven Next.js and Payload work. Send links or repos. You care about performance and SEO basics: fast loads, proper meta setup, semantic structure, clean image handling. Your motion stays smooth on mid-range hardware. You can take a brand from near-zero and give it a clear, consistent look. You work well from a brief and flag problems early. Nice to have Past work for B2B SaaS, industrial, or manufacturing clients Early-stage startup experience Comfort with motion tools and libraries (Framer Motion, GSAP, or similar)
