Website Design for Modern Business Educational Content Brand (Fixed Price + Milestones)

Summary

We’re building something fresh:  bsns - a modern content brand that makes business make sense.

No jargon.  No fluff.  Just clear, useful content that helps people understand how business actually works.

Now it’s time to design the home where it all lives.

This is a design-first project.  We’re not building anything yet. We're looking for a UX/UI designer who can help map out the homepage and overall layout for a multi-format brand that includes:
• Daily short-form podcasts
• Weekly long-form podcast episodes
• 60-second explainer videos
• Practical online courses and tools
• Optional member-only resources

PROJECT STRUCTURE
We’ll be awarding this as a fixed-price project with milestones. Please submit a total project bid, along with a clearly labeled price for the first milestone (see below).

MILESTONE 1: Direction + Fit
• Homepage wireframe (desktop + mobile)
• Basic sitemap
• Content/navigation flow write-up
• Early visual suggestions (e.g., modular cards, font/style vibe)
This first step helps us align on tone, structure, and fit before diving into the full project.

ADDITIONAL MILESTONES (please include/estimate in total bid)
• Final Figma designs (home + key subpages)
• Design system (fonts, colors, layout components)
• Clickable prototype (optional)
• Final design handoff for build phase

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• A clean, content-first UX/UI approach
• Someone who thinks in user flow, not just colors and fonts
• Comfortable working from a clear concept rather than pixel-level specs
• Strong communication - especially async
• Bonus if you’ve designed for podcasts, video, or online learning

HOW TO BID
Please include both of the following in your proposal:
1.  Fixed price for the full design project  (homepage, subpages, design system, handoff)
2.  Fixed price for Milestone 1 only  (see above for scope)
We're open to adjusting the additional milestones and pacing based on your approach, but we'd like to keep the first step low-risk for both sides.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION
• Full PDF specs and company overview are attached.
• Sample content links available upon request

OTHER NOTES
• We’re currently on Squarespace (with email, membership, and sales tools), but open to switching platforms after design is finalized
• This is founder-led so you’ll be working with a small team, and there’s room for creative collaboration
• We’d like to review initial direction within about a week of kickoff

If this feels like your kind of project, we’d love to hear your approach
