About us
Unbranded was founded by developers and we believe one of the keys to our success has been our in-house development team which we are looking to expand.
We believe a good design and build process involves developers at every stage, not just at the end. We’ve done everything we can to eliminate the headaches that crop up time and time again in our industry and provide the perfect environment for developers to create work they can be proud of.
Responsive front end work is easily misunderstood and with the wrong approach projects can involve a lot of painstaking back and forth with design amends and device testing. We’re looking for someone who can communicate with designers and help our team structure websites built from systems of responsive components.
We produce high quality code that’s easy to maintain and re-use and we solve problems as a team. With each project we carry out we review what could have been better and update our codebase; we don’t like making the same mistake twice.
The workplace: It’s in Media City, it’s laid back, with flexible hours and can be a bit of a laugh.
