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.
We’re hiring a Web Development Support Specialist to help students execute professionally, without turning Capstone into a coding bootcamp or overburdening mentors whose expertise is strategic rather than technical.
What You’ll Do
This role is hands-on, student-facing, and outcomes-driven.
You will:
- Support Capstone students in building, polishing, and launching websites tied to their projects.
- Help students translate a project concept into a clean, admissions-credible web presence
- Provide guidance on:
- Site structure & UX
- Frontend implementation
- Deployment & hosting
- Best practices for performance, accessibility, and professionalism
- Troubleshoot bugs, layout issues, and deployment problems efficiently
- Recommend appropriate tools and stacks based on student skill level (e.g. Webflow vs React)
- Collaborate with Capstone mentors and ops to ensure web deliverables align with project milestones
- Step in during Classic & Elite packages where web/marketing support hours are included
This is not just about building sites for students from scratch. It’s about helping students learn just enough, build correctly, and ship something real.
Typical Student Use Cases
You might help a student:
- Build a landing page for a nonprofit or social impact initiative
- Launch a basic MVP site for a student startup
- Create a portfolio site (research, art, media, CS projects)
- Deploy a simple web app frontend
- Improve the design and credibility of an existing site before public launch or press
Required Skills & Experience
Technical
- Strong frontend fundamentals: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- Experience with at least one modern framework or tool (e.g. React, Next.js, Vue, Webflow)
- Comfort with no-code / low-code tools when appropriate (e.g Wix)
- Experience deploying sites (Vercel, Netlify, basic hosting setups)
- Bachelor degree from a Top 30 U.S. university (strongly preferred)
- Ability to debug quickly and explain clearly
- Experience explaining technical concepts to non-technical users
- Patient, structured, and student-centered communication style
- Ability to guide without taking over execution
Nice to Have
- UX/UI sensibility (especially for landing pages)
- Familiarity with student projects, startups, nonprofits, or portfolios
- Experience mentoring or tutoring students
- Understanding of what makes a site “admissions-credible” vs. amateur
