We're usually pretty chilled at Contagious, but just recently we've noticed a slight change in our sleep patterns and more worryingly an even slighter reduction in the regular outbursts of hysterical laughter.

While the role of the digital designer is more creative than technical, you do need to know your LAMP from your Flash as well as a working knowledge of HTML, XHTML, CSS, Javascript and JQuery.
