Creative Graphical Web Design, Social Media Concept, UI

I’m spearheading a new social-media-meets-service hub that will seamlessly unite Business, Education & Community, Health, Lifestyle & Technology, and Travel, Shopping & Local Services, while also offering users a secure digital vault. The primary goal is to help people connect with one another and with their communities, so every design decision must reinforce that purpose. Visually, I need a modern, professional look that still feels welcoming the moment someone lands on the site. the name of the website is DontForget.me This first phase is 100 % graphical. Once the creative direction is locked, we may commission the front-end build, so layered source files and clear component naming are essential. Key deliverables • Complete brand identity (colour palette, typography, iconography, usage guidelines). • Distinctive logo in scalable vector formats. • High-fidelity desktop & mobile mock-ups for the home page plus at least two core internal layouts that demonstrate navigation flow and call-to-action placement. • UI kit/style guide covering buttons, forms, alerts and card components to ensure consistency as the platform scales. • A refreshed design concept for myUKpost.com that aligns visually and functionally with the new brand, including revised homepage hero, content blocks and footer treatment. Acceptance criteria • Designs clearly showcase how the three sector clusters (and the digital vault) are surfaced for intuitive exploration. • All typography legible at common breakpoints (mobile/desktop) with accessible contrast ratios. • Deliverables supplied in Figma or Adobe XD with organised layers and reusable components. • Final assets accompanied by a concise style‐guide PDF suitable for hand-off to developers. If you thrive on crafting clean, user-centric interfaces that bring multiple worlds together under one seamless brand, I’m eager to see your portfolio and ideas.

The ideal candidate will have experience finding motivated landlords, property investors, portfolio owners and landowners who are open to alternative property arrangements, creative deal structures or the sale of part or all of their property holdings.

Potential opportunities include: Landlords looking to exit the rental market without selling immediately. Owners of vacant, underperforming or difficult-to-let properties.

Qualify opportunities and arrange introductions or meetings where appropriate. Provide a clear pipeline of genuine, verifiable leads with supporting information. Ideal Candidate You should have: Previous experience in UK property sourcing, deal packaging, estate agency, landlord acquisition, land sourcing or property investment. A good understanding of PLO, R2R and/or title splitting. Strong research, communication, negotiation and lead-generation skills. The ability to approach property owners professionally and establish genuine interest. A results-driven approach, with an emphasis on quality opportunities rather than large volumes of unqualified leads. Candidates with established landlord, landowner or property investor networks are particularly welcome. What We Need From You When applying, please explain: Your experience with PLO, R2R, title splitting or similar property deals. The areas of the UK you cover. How you identify and approach landlords and landowners. Examples of deals or qualified leads you have sourced previously, where you can share them. Your proposed fee structure, whether fixed per qualified lead, per completed deal, or another mutually agreed arrangement.

The priority is to establish a reliable working relationship with someone who can consistently identify genuine opportunities and connect us with owners who are willing to discuss these types of arrangements.

EXECUTIVE PERSONAL ASSISTANT - Direct Person - No Agents

Flexible, adaptable, intelligent, diplomatic and ruthlessly efficient describes the person required. This opportunity is only for serious players. Your British Spoken and Written English skills must be excellent; there is no time for correcting spellings and pronunciations from other jurisdictions and dialects. You must be capable of being shown how to do something once and then doing it correctly, consistently and repeatedly without needing to be reminded, chased or shown again. You must be available to start immediately. British working hours must be covered, although working times will vary and may fall anywhere between 6.00 am and 9.00 pm. Weekend work will be required when workloads, urgent cases or major deadlines demand it. You will become the right-hand person to the Executive Director of Landlord Licensing & Defence. Things must be made to happen quickly, accurately and efficiently so that backlogs do not develop and deadlines are never missed. Fast and reliable broadband is essential, together with a backup internet connection for use if the main service fails because of a provider problem, natural disaster or any other disruption. This role is for someone who works hard, goes the extra mile, remains dependable and understands that clients and urgent work cannot simply be abandoned when pressure increases. The systems are relatively simple and straightforward, and anyone who listens carefully, follows instructions and learns quickly should be capable of providing the required support. Much of the work involves copying and pasting accurately, interpreting information, filling gaps, completing forms, preparing documents, maintaining systems and relentlessly following people up until the required result is achieved. The Executive Director does not have time to continue carrying out administration because previous assistants were inefficient, failed to learn and could not act properly upon short or incomplete instructions. There is nothing unnecessarily complicated about the administrative work, but it must be completed correctly, quickly and in exactly the required way. Excellent spoken and written English is compulsory. Perfect grammar, spelling, comprehension and attention to detail must be demonstrated in everything written and said throughout the application process. Being “nearly right” will not be good enough. Communication must always be written in the required house style, which means that there is no “I” or “we”, the client and subject matter remain central, opinions are not invented and every statement is based upon facts, evidence, the law and the reality of the work being undertaken. All clients are under immense pressure because enforcement action is being taken against them. Anxiety and distress must be handled quickly, calmly and diplomatically without promises being made that cannot be fulfilled and without deadlines being committed to unless delivery can be guaranteed. Incomplete instructions must be understood in the context of previous work so that documents and tasks can be prepared for checking without everything having to be explained from the beginning. Corrections must be understood, implemented immediately and applied to all future work without the same mistakes being repeated. This is not a comfortable role for someone who needs constant supervision, avoids responsibility, disappears when things become difficult or produces excuses instead of results. The Executive Director works fast, expects things to be done properly, does not suffer fools gladly and wants the bloody job done. If that sounds unreasonable, do not apply. If that sounds like the challenge you have been waiting for, apply now. Where you live does not matter, and applications are welcomed from anywhere in the world provided that the required working hours, availability, internet reliability and standard of English can be delivered without exception. ACTION: Send a short, entertaining story by DM explaining why an invitation to apply should be sent to you. Do not send a generic CV introduction, corporate waffle or something obviously produced by artificial intelligence. Show intelligence, personality, humour, perfect English and the ability to follow these instructions.
