Modern Website Designer (1099/Intern)

About Us:

Peachtree Rose Marketing is a boutique content marketing agency and podcast studio in San Antonio, Texas. We specialize in systems-driven storytelling, using scalable workflows, AI tools, and modern SEO/AEO strategy to help brands grow.

We build websites for local business owners on our own content management system — not a page-builder plugin stack, and not a template farm. We're looking for a designer who understands that a website's job is to persuade a specific person to take a specific action.

Role Overview:

This role is ideal for someone who thinks like a marketer and designs like a communicator. You'll build client websites inside our proprietary CMS, which will feel immediately familiar to anyone who has worked in WordPress — pages, blocks, media library, publish button. You will not be writing code. You will be making design and messaging decisions, and you'll be judged on whether those decisions get a small business found and hired.

You'll also learn how modern discovery actually works. Ranking on Google still matters. But clients are increasingly found through answer engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini — and structuring a site so those systems can read, trust, and cite it is a skill almost nobody has yet. You'll learn it here.

Scope of Work Includes:

  • Design and build client websites in our custom CMS (WordPress-like interface, no HTML/CSS required)
  • Translate a client's brand, offer, and ideal customer persona into page structure and layout
  • Write clear, human, non-AI-sounding web copy aimed at a defined target audience
  • Apply website design fundamentals: visual hierarchy, whitespace, contrast, mobile-first layout, and conversion-focused CTA placement
  • Build and optimize service pages, location pages, and FAQ content for both traditional search and answer engines
  • Source, crop, compress, and caption imagery; keep pages fast and clean
  • Use AI platforms with our prompt frameworks to draft, test, and refine — never to publish unedited
  • Quality-check every build: broken links, mobile rendering, form submissions, page speed, metadata
  • Document what works so the next build is faster than the last one

What You'll Learn (Beyond the Basics):

  • Our proprietary AI prompt frameworks and how operators use them to produce content that doesn't read like a machine wrote it
  • Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) — how to structure content so ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini surface and cite your client
  • How to research and write to an ideal customer persona instead of writing to everyone
  • How a multi-tenant CMS is built, managed, and scaled across a client portfolio
  • How to turn a website from a brochure into a lead-generating asset a small business owner can actually measure

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Critical thinking and common sense skills as well as ability to read the room
  • Working familiarity with WordPress or a comparable CMS — you can build a page without a tutorial open
  • Understanding of website design best practices; a portfolio, class project, or personal site we can look at
  • Solid marketing fundamentals: you know what a value proposition is and can spot a weak headline
  • Strong writer in plain human English — clear, specific, and free of AI filler
  • Comfortable using AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) and able to explain what makes a prompt good
  • HTML/CSS is not required. Design tools (Canva, Figma), Google Workspace, or Notion experience is a plus
  • Detail-oriented, self-directed, and able to work inside a documented system
