We are seeking a talented web designer for an exciting career opportunity. On offer is the chance to be the lead designer on a number of high profile websites, with the added bonus of being completely responsible for the UI of a brand new web application.
We are a small web development company with a strong client base, including a number of high profile not-for-profits. We have also developed and launched a brand new web application (www.trickytix.com.au), which we anticipate building into a global brand in 2009 and beyond.
You will be working on a combination of small and large projects, but a lot of your time will also be spent enhancing the interface of our web application based upon customer feedback. We need you sooner rather than later, and are willing to offer a full time role to the right candidate.

- User Interface design for our web application
- Flash banners for various ad networks (including generating creative concepts)

Experience
The critical skills for this role are design and flash. Any experience in the following would also be handy, but not essential:
- ActionScript
- Adobe Flex
- Subversion

What kind of company are we?
- We are fans of “Getting Real” from 37Signals
- We release our software fast and early
- We believe in beer o’clock on Friday
- Our PS3 currently has Little Big Planet on high rotation
- We believe in doing things properly
We are offering monthly RDO’s and a good starting salary, with a casual and relaxed office environment.

Sorry.
Taking our guidance from Priscilla, we can do no better than to reprint this extract from Paul Keatings Redfern Speech, December 1997.
… The starting point might be to recognise that the problem starts with us non-Aboriginal Australians.
It begins, I think, with that act of recognition – recognition that it was we who did the dispossessing. We took the traditional lands and smashed the traditional way of life.
We brought the diseases. The alcohol.
We committed the murders.
We took the children from their mothers.
We practised discrimination and exclusion.
It was our ignorance and our prejudice. And our failure to imagine these things being done to us.
With some noble exceptions, we failed to make the most basic human response and enter into their hearts and minds.
We failed to ask – how would I feel if this were done to me?
As a consequence, we failed to see that what we were doing degraded all of us.
The ABC will be streaming the apology live at 9am. We will be tuned in.

The charity site Too Young to Work (TYTW) is now live, and it looks fantastic. TYTW is a registered Australian charity that aims to assist in the elimination of child labour in India through the provision of education.
TYTW currently supports three schools in India and is part of a broader network of 14 child labour schools supported by European non-government organisations (NGO) in the same regions. Approximately 2,500 child labourers are in attendance at these 14 schools.
The website was completed by us at no charge, one of a number of sites we have completed for free as a way of giving back to the community.
