Job Description
About Crimson Capstone
Crimson Capstone helps high-achieving students design, build, and launch real-world projects that demonstrate leadership, initiative, and impact for top university admissions. Many Capstone projects culminate in a public-facing website—whether that’s a startup landing page, nonprofit site, portfolio, campaign hub, or app frontend.
Role Overview
The Web Development Support Specialist role is hands-on, student-facing, and outcomes-driven. You will help students execute professional websites without turning Capstone into a coding bootcamp.
What You Will Do
- Support students in building, polishing, and launching websites.
- Translate project concepts into clean, admissions-credible web presences.
- Provide guidance on site structure, UX, frontend implementation, deployment and hosting.
- Troubleshoot bugs, layout issues, and deployment problems efficiently.
- Recommend appropriate tools and stacks based on student skill level.
- Collaborate with mentors and operations to align web deliverables with milestones.
- Step in during Classic & Elite packages when web/marketing support is needed.
Typical Student Use Cases
You might help students build nonprofit landing pages, launch MVP sites for startups, create portfolio sites, deploy simple web app frontends, or improve existing sites before a public launch.
Required Skills & Experience
- Strong frontend fundamentals: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- Experience with at least one modern framework (e.g. React, Next.js, Vue, Webflow)
- Comfort with no-code/low-code tools (e.g. Wix)
- Experience deploying sites (Vercel, Netlify, hosting setups)
- Degree from a Top 30 U.S. university (preferred)
- Ability to debug quickly and explain technical concepts clearly
- Patient and structured communication style
- Ability to guide without taking over execution
Nice to Have
- UX/UI sensibility especially for landing pages
- Familiarity with student projects, startups, or nonprofits
- Experience mentoring or tutoring students
- Understanding of admissions-credible design vs. amateur work
