UI/Web Designer Wanted – 5 Stunning, Modern Radio Website Themes

We’re a UK-based company developing a website and digital platform specifically for radio stations, and we're looking for a talented web/UI designer to create five completely original, modern website themes for the platform.

This project is design only – no development/coding is required.

We want to create a collection of genuinely impressive website themes that radio stations can choose from and fully customise within our platform.

We don't want five variations of the same template. Each theme should have its own distinctive visual identity, layout and style, while still being practical enough to work as a real radio station website.

Think premium, modern, highly polished web design – strong typography, excellent use of space, creative layouts and a real "wow" factor.

We particularly want to avoid designs that look like generic WordPress templates, ThemeForest themes or obvious AI-generated concepts.

We'd initially like 5 complete theme concepts, covering the key pages and components a typical radio station would need, including:

- Homepage
- Schedule / radio shows
- Presenter/show profile
- News/article listing and article page
- Listen Live / player experience
- Contact/general content pages
- Reusable content components such as CTAs, cards, grids and promotional areas
- Responsive/mobile designs

The themes will also need to accommodate common radio-specific content such as Now Playing, Recently Played, On Air, Schedules, Presenters, News, Events, Competitions, Listen Live, Advertising and Social Content.

Our platform allows customers to customise colours, typography, imagery and content, so the designs need to work as flexible design systems rather than completely fixed websites.

We're specifically looking for a designer who can bring their own creative ideas to the project. The five designs should be visibly and structurally different, rather than simply changing colours, fonts and imagery.

For example, one could take a clean editorial approach, another could be bold and entertainment-led, another highly visual and contemporary, and another particularly suited to local/community broadcasting.

These are examples rather than prescribed creative directions – we'd like to see what you can come up with.

We'd ideally like designs supplied in Figma, including desktop and mobile layouts, reusable components, typography and colour systems, consistent spacing/grids, relevant interaction states, and any useful implementation notes for our developers.

The designs will be implemented separately by our own development team.

We're primarily interested in the quality of your portfolio and your ability to produce original UI design. Experience with media, entertainment, music, editorial or SaaS products would be useful, although previous radio industry experience isn't essential.

When applying, please include your portfolio, 2–3 particularly relevant examples, your proposed price for the project, estimated timescale, and a short explanation of how you'd approach making the five themes genuinely distinctive.

Please don't send a generic or AI generated proposal.

There is potential for ongoing work designing additional themes and other parts of the platform if we find the right designer.

Indicative budget: £750–£1,250 for the five-theme project.

The first milestone will be the design of one complete theme, allowing us to establish the creative direction, design quality and how well the proposed design system will work within our platform.

Once the first theme is approved, we'll proceed with the remaining four themes as further milestones with the same designer.
