Deksia is looking for a creative, detail-oriented individual pursuing a career in web development, digital media, or marketing.

As a web development intern at Deksia, you'll gain hands-on experience supporting website maintenance and updates for multiple clients in an agency setting. Daily tasks include making updates to client websites using page builders and CMS platforms, developing email templates and landing pages, and managing content across websites and marketing channels. You may also have the opportunity to collaborate with other interns on projects designed to simulate real client work from start to finish.

Note: This role focuses on visual website building, content management, and light custom code—not software engineering or application programming.

You'll work alongside our web development team and collaborate with operations team members across departments to help implement impactful web strategies for our clients.

Need More Incentive?

Our past interns are now working at places like Eden Creative, Open System Technologies, and Newegg in roles like:

  • Web Designer
  • Front-End Developer
  • WordPress Developer
  • Multimedia Specialist
  • Web Content Manager

What We're Looking For

Page Builder & CMS Experience You're comfortable working in platforms like WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, or similar. Bonus if you can jump into HTML/CSS to make tweaks when needed.

Basic HTML & CSS Knowledge You don't need to be a programmer, but you should understand how to read and edit basic code to customize templates and troubleshoot issues.

Eye for Design You notice when something looks "off" and care about clean layouts, typography, and user experience.

Creative Problem Solving Web work isn't always straightforward. You're ready to Google, experiment, and figure things out in this ever-changing digital landscape.

Strong Communication Skills You can clearly communicate with team members and understand client needs to avoid errors and missed deadlines.

Works Well Independently & Collaboratively Some tasks require focused solo work; others need team input. You can switch between both modes easily.

And most importantly…

  • I get it: I understand the inner workings, systems, and responsibilities of my position
  • I want it: I love to do my job
  • I have the capacity for it: I have the mental, physical, and emotional ability to do my job

Skills & Experience That Get Us Excited

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Web Development, Digital Media, Web Design, Marketing, Communications, or a related field
  • Hands-on experience with WordPress, Shopify, Elementor, Divi, or similar platforms
  • Familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, XD, Illustrator)
  • Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  • Experience with Figma or other design/prototyping tools
  • Exposure to email marketing platforms (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot)

What You'll Learn

  • How to build and maintain websites, landing pages, and email templates using modern page builders
  • When and how to use custom HTML/CSS to extend platform capabilities
  • Best practices for web content management
  • Opportunities to explore SEO, conversion rate optimization, and UI/UX strategies

Culture Check – How Does Deksia Measure Success?

Every 30 days you'll speak to your manager to discuss the following:

Core Values. Are you living up to our Core Values?

  • I support my community internally and externally
  • I strive to be and do my best
  • I make it fun

Department Roles. When in doubt, everything the interactive/web team does revolves around these 4 things:

  • Learn and apply team processes and standards
  • Ask questions and seek feedback
  • Deliver accurate, detail-oriented work
  • Meet deadlines and communicate proactively about blockers
  • Grow technical skills throughout the internship

Weekly Performance. Are you getting your work done?

  • I maintain up-to-date records as it pertains to my department
  • I carry out daily and weekly tasks as assigned to me
  • I complete end-of-week surveys and log my time

Additional Details

  • 3-month internship – With potential to grow into a full-time position!

  • Unpaid internship – available for college credit
