Graphic Designer
This position involves creating graphics for the home pages of our Menu Based Web Site Service for restaurants, usually particularly what we call a "logo header". This is a graphic that goes at the top of the home page of each web site that is intended to reflect the personality of the restaurant and that contains some basic information such as the name of the restaurant and phone number. These graphics will be created in Adobe Illustrator or a similar graphic design tool that can be converted to Adobe Illustrator.

Web Designers
We have occasional requests from clients (restaurants) to build customized web sites that go considerably behind the relatively simple web sites that we build as part of our low-cost service. These sites can be expected to be relatively fancy and expensive. They would typically make use of our software and menu service to display the menu.
Skills Required: We are looking for web designers with exceptional graphic design and possibly illustration skill. You should do the layout and graphic design work, while we would do the necessary coding' in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
