  • Independent Contractor: Senior Web Designer (WordPress + UX Lead)

    Silver Air Private Jets 3.7company rating

    Senior user experience designer job in Santa Barbara, CA

    Job DescriptionDescriptionWe are seeking a senior web designer and UX lead to redesign and modernize two closely related luxury aviation brands: Silver Air Private Jets and Flight Club. This is a high-impact, executive-facing engagement requiring refined visual judgment, strategic thinking, and expert execution. This is not a template refresh or a cosmetic update. This is a luxury, modern, video-forward digital rebuild executed in WordPress, designed for a high-trust, high-expectation audience. The work demands restraint, editorial clarity, and the ability to elevate an established brand without over-designing it. You will be expected to operate comfortably in an environment where assets evolve in parallel. Strong visual decisions must be made before perfect video or photography exists, with the ability to guide asset requirements while maintaining momentum. Perfection is iterative; judgment and progress matter more than waiting for ideal inputs. This role requires advanced front-end design and development expertise, with intentional use of motion, transitions, and cinematic elements that feel bespoke and understated-never templated or trendy. Interfaces should feel closer to an art gallery than a conventional marketing site. The back end will be WordPress-based, with structured CMS architecture that allows non-technical updates without compromising design integrity. This is not a plug-and-play WordPress role, nor is it an agency-polish engagement. Custom thinking, taste, and execution are essential. Lead capture and CRM integration are critical. HubSpot will be used strictly as a CRM and data layer, not as a hosting or design platform. You must be able to integrate forms, tracking, and attribution cleanly while preserving performance, aesthetics, and user experience. This engagement carries high executive visibility and requires comfort operating under evolving direction. You should be confident collaborating with senior leadership, iterating without defensiveness, and clearly advising on tradeoffs when necessary. This role is designed for upper-echelon talent-professionals who can balance luxury branding, technical fluency, and decisive ownership in a contract environment. What You'll DoDesign & UX Leadership Lead a full redesign of both websites with shared UX logic and distinct visual identities. Establish a timeless, editorial luxury design intended to remain relevant for 3-5 years, not trend cycles. Design video-forward hero experiences using cinematic motion and subtle transitions that feel intentional and restrained. Make strong visual decisions before perfect assets exist, while clearly defining future asset requirements. Execute a mobile-first design approach (majority of traffic is mobile). Create clear information hierarchy that enables fast comprehension for high-intent visitors. Apply restraint and subtraction to convey luxury-clarity over volume. Ensure interfaces feel bespoke and gallery-like, not templated or agency-polished. Lead Capture & CRM Integration Evaluate and redesign the end-to-end lead capture experience across both brands. Recommend and implement the optimal approach (native HubSpot, custom-built, or hybrid), grounded in UX, data integrity, and performance. Integrate cleanly with HubSpot as a CRM and data layer, not as a hosting or design platform. Eliminate duplicate contacts, inconsistent attribution, and unreliable form behavior. Design premium, low-friction form experiences appropriate for a luxury audience. Preserve performance and visual integrity while maintaining accurate tracking and reporting. WordPress Architecture & Implementation Lead custom WordPress theme development (Gutenberg and/or ACF familiarity preferred). Build structured CMS logic that enables safe, non-technical content updates without compromising design. Support database-driven components (fleet listings, modular landing pages, structured content). Prioritize performance optimization, particularly on mobile. Deliver a clean, maintainable backend with no vendor lock-in. Manage a disciplined staging → QA → launch workflow. Provide clear documentation and admin handoff for internal teams. Collaborate with external back-end engineers if required, while maintaining ownership of quality. Collaboration, Ownership & Working Model This is a senior, hands-on partnership with high executive visibility. 1-2 on-site days per week in Santa Barbara during discovery, key reviews, and launch preparation. Remaining work completed independently and remotely. Direct collaboration with executive leadership, including the CEO. Weekly working sessions and live design reviews. Fast, iterative execution based on feedback. Clear ownership of deliverables, timelines, and quality. Comfort operating under evolving direction without defensiveness. Ability to advise, challenge, and refine decisions with clarity and professionalism. What We're Looking ForMust Have Deep WordPress expertise, including custom theme development, performance optimization, and long-term maintainability (no template assembly). Strong UX instincts with a refined editorial luxury design sensibility. Portfolio demonstrating modernized WordPress builds, including before/after examples that show elevation, not just change. Experience designing and implementing premium, low-friction form experiences for high-trust audiences. Proven experience integrating HubSpot (or comparable CRM) as a data and lead-capture layer (forms, attribution, tracking). Demonstrated experience in luxury environments (aviation, travel, hospitality, private equity, high-end real estate, or comparable). Comfort working directly with executive leadership and iterating under high standards. U.S.-based, with the ability to travel to Santa Barbara for key working sessions. Strong Plus Experience designing video-forward hero experiences with restrained motion and cinematic sensibility. Understanding of conversion psychology for luxury and UHNW audiences (clarity, trust, pacing over urgency). Familiarity with charter aviation, private aviation, or UHNW clientele expectations. Ability to guide asset requirements (video, photography, tone) without blocking progress. Deal Breakers Pushing alternative platforms (Webflow, Squarespace, etc.) based on personal preference rather than project requirements. Reliance on generic “luxury” aesthetics, stock-heavy visuals, or templated agency polish. Buzzword-driven, trend-chasing, or cliché design approaches. Ticket-based, async-only, or low-engagement working styles. Non-U.S.-based candidates. How to ApplySubmit the following: Portfolio links featuring relevant luxury work only 2-3 examples of modernized WordPress sites (before/after) 2 example where you improved lead capture or form UX Brief explanation of your approach to: Dual-brand website systems Lead capture architecture (HubSpot-native vs custom vs hybrid) Modern, timeless design Confirmation of U.S.-based availability and Santa Barbara on-site capability Your preferred working cadence
