About the Job

The primary function of the Web Designer is to conceptualize, design, and deliver website wireframes, mockups, and completed designs that meet the needs of the University and our users, while incorporating best design practices and current industry trends. The position, which is part of the Communications and Creative Services department, is responsible for the design of CCU’s websites, including new design initiatives and ongoing website improvements. The designer exhibits a strong passion for delivering creative solutions that are user-friendly, attractive, and superbly executed.

The designer works collaboratively with the Director of Digital Technology, Front-End Developer, and content managers on the creation and implementation of web and digital designs using Hannon Hill’s Cascade content management system. The designer is also responsible for designing other forms of digital media at the University, including content for digital signs.

About CCU

Colorado Christian University is the premier interdenominational Christian university in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, delivering world-class education to thousands of students. The fully accredited, nonprofit university is located in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.

Colorado Christian University was founded in 1914. CCU’s motto is grace and truth. This motto comes from John 1.14: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, the glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth,” (ESV). 

CCU's mission is Christ-centered higher education transforming students to impact the world with grace and truth.

Colorado Christian University cultivates knowledge and love of God in a Christ-centered community of learners and scholars, with an enduring commitment to the integration of exemplary academics, spiritual formation, and engagement with the world. We envision graduates who think critically and creatively, lead with high ethical and professional standards, embody the character and compassion of Jesus Christ, treasure the gospel, and who thereby are prepared to impact the world in their callings.

CCU embraces an educational model that was present at the foundation of many of the great Western and American universities. It is made up of three pillars — competence, character, and Christ-centered faith. Secular universities have abandoned two of those pillars. We think this is a major oversight that eventually undermines education. Furthermore, we believe this classical educational model is both life-giving and greatly needed in our time.

A leader in higher education, CCU has been consistently ranked in the top 2% of colleges and universities nationwide for its core curriculum by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. CCU has had 11 consecutive years of enrollment growth and has been named one of the five fastest-growing master’s granting universities by The Chronicle of Higher Education.

CCU offers more than 200 degree program options for traditional and adult students through its two colleges — the College of Undergraduate Studies and the College of Adult and Graduate Studies. More than 9,000 students attend the University on the main campus, in regional centers throughout Colorado, and online.

What is most appealing about working at CCU?

1. Faith-friendly: CCU’s culture is unique to higher education. Where else can you pursue academic excellence yet read the Holy Bible, pray with teammates and students at work, and work to impact our culture in support of Christian values.
2. Convictionally Christian: As a university, we have an enduring commitment to Christ, His kingdom, and the truth of God’s Word.
3. Live out your calling: We are a traditional evangelical university where you can invest your God-given talents and abilities alongside coworkers and teammates while having a profound influence on students as they deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ.
4. Equip students for kingdom work: You can be a part of helping students discover their callings and preparing them for positions of significant leadership in the church, business, government, education, and other professions, as a key part of our University's Strategic Priorities.

We’re looking for candidates who have:

1. A bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent work experience.
2. Extensive experience in using UX best practices to design solutions coupled with a solid understanding of mobile-first, responsive design.
3. Strong creative, visual, technical, and problem-solving skills.
4. Have expertise with digital graphics tools including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe XD, and the ability to deliver detailed, well-organized files using those platforms.
5. Are familiar with using web content management systems (CMS).
6. Clearly and effectively communicate and collaborate with team members on design processes, ideas, and solutions.
7. Are able to work with clients to understand detailed requirements — and then design complete user experiences that meet the client’s needs and vision.

9. Have up-to-date experience in digital design and website UX trends.
10. Have familiarity with website coding including HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript.
