Contract web designers often work closely with clients to gather requirements, present design concepts, and incorporate feedback throughout the design process. They also frequently collaborate with developers to ensure designs are feasible and align with technical constraints, often participating in regular check-ins or stand-up meetings.

What is a contract web designer?

A contract web designer is a professional who is hired on a temporary or project basis to create, update, or maintain websites for clients or organizations. Instead of being a full-time employee, they work under a contract that outlines the scope, timeline, and payment for their services. Contract web designers may work independently as freelancers or through agencies, and often handle various aspects of web design, such as layout, user experience, and visual elements. This flexible arrangement allows businesses to access specialized skills for specific projects without committing to a permanent hire. Contract web designers typically work remotely, but some may collaborate onsite depending on the client's needs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a contract web designer?

To thrive as a Contract Web Designer, you need a strong grasp of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive design, and a portfolio showcasing your work, often supported by a relevant degree or certifications. Familiarity with design tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, or Sketch, and experience with content management systems such as WordPress are typically required. Excellent communication, time management, and problem-solving skills help you work effectively with clients and deliver projects on time. These abilities ensure you can create visually appealing, user-friendly websites that meet client needs and adapt to a variety of projects and industries.

Job description

Project Overview
The Province has a strategic role within government to drive efficiencies, innovation and modernization. As part of this role, the Province is expanding the GoA's digital delivery of services with the view of simplifying and providing better user experiences with interactions with the GoA. The Digital Design and Delivery Division (3D), is the Province's centre for digital delivery. It was established to maximize capability and confidence in modern digital practice by ensuring service quality and value through standards and controls. This includes utilizing human-centred design approaches together with agile methodology and modern data practices
3D works in partnership with GoA ministries to deliver programs that better serve Albertans.
The Province requires up to seventeen (17) Front End Designer(s) to work with 3D on service innovation, program review and digital transformation projects across the GoA. The Front End Designer(s) will work as part of cross-functional program review or product delivery teams. These teams, led by GoA product owners and 3D work collaboratively and collectively participate in a full range of activities including: field research, backlog definition and refinement, and sprint planning and execution. Digital transformation projects review the current state of services, identify future opportunities, and then deliver new services that are efficient, effective and affordable.
From research and findings, the Front End Designer(s) will develop design documentation, including for interfaces.

Scope of Services
It is anticipated that the Front End Designer will be required for one (1) year; however, the Province may extend the contract for up to twenty-four (24) months on the same terms and conditions.
The Front End Designer maybe required on a full time basis (7.25 hour work day), working across two (2) to three (3) projects. Time, location and frequency of work will vary depending on the needs of the particular project. At the end of each term, it is expected that the Front End Designer may work a maximum of 1,960 hours, unless otherwise agreed upon with the Province. However, a Front End Designer may be required to work fewer or more hours depending on the nature and needs of their work, as directed by the Province.
Services and project deliverables should evolve as the work progresses, in response to emerging user and business needs, as well as design and technical opportunities. However, the following must be delivered (iteratively) over the course of the project:
Creative, evidence-based front-end design solutions for digital service delivery. Solutions must be aligned with corporate design methods and standards.
Foundational design of artifacts on a variety of platforms and fidelities, such as prototypes and wireframes, design pattern libraries and components, graphic design style guides, and fully documented build-ready design specifications.
Plans for design research components.
Justifiable recommendations for design decisions to ensure alignment of project teams, program areas, and senior management.
Participation in agile project management processes and ceremonies such as sprint planning, sprint review, demos, and retrospectives.
Usability test plans and reports evaluating the effectiveness of current and future designs.
Analysis and recommendations on design accessibility to ensure compliance with applicable standards.
