This job offer is hilarious. I haven't seen a more appropriate use of marquee and animated gifs in ages!

We also have blink tags in there! (Chrome won't display blink tags, but Firefox will)

Wow, it's been ages since I've seen the old "under construction" GIFs. And nobody uses that cruddy grey background any more.

Now if only we could undo the Eternal September.

It's already beautiful. My God. It's glorious.

The dancing baby is an especially nice touch..

I've been waiting for the day that dancing baby came back in vogue.

Front-end engineers make things beautiful? I thought that's what designers do.

Frontend engineers execute beautiful designs. It's a team effort.

Edit: Also, Grubwithus is looking for frontend engineers w/ strong design sense. We're a small team and wear many hats.

I actually hope that you don't find an engineer/designer. This website is awesome, brought back many memories :)

This is awesome. I literally laughed out loud at my desk, turning heads. I really really hope you get a awesome designer/front end engineer, who also has a good sense of humor :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I can tell the site really need the UI help, because the marquees only go in one direction. With my years of Geocities development experience, I can help you create marquees that go right-to-left and left-to-right.

That will also help i18n efforts.

Front end engineers are not exactly designers. Speaking as a front end engineer, I do not do design.
