About Seitenwechsel
Seitenwechsel is a queer-feminist sports association based in Berlin, founded in 1988. We are a space for women, lesbians, trans, nonbinary, intersex people, and girls – a community of over 1,200 members across more than 80 sports groups. We also run school working groups and community projects, and we partner with organisations across Germany and Europe.
We are looking for a designer, developer, or team to help us renew how we look and how we show up online. We want a visual identity and a website that reflect who we are, support our members, and are accessible to everyone.
This call covers two connected but distinct processes. You may apply to one or both.
Process 1: Visual identity
• Brand strategy
• Logo design
• Visual identity guidelines
• Social media templates on Canva
• Collateral materials
Process 2: Website
• UX/UI design
• WordPress development
• Bilingual website in German and English
• Event management system for signing up and cancelling participation in activities
• Possibility of including existing project microsites into the main site
• Possibility of integrating a membership management system
What we are looking for
We are looking for a professional or team with:
• Proven experience in brand design (process 1) and/or WordPress development (process 2)
• Experience working with organisations focused on human rights and social justice
• Familiarity with queer-feminist and intersectional perspectives
• Proactive, independent working approach with the ability to manage the project and guide the association through the process
• Commitment to accessibility as a foundational practice, embedded in every step of the process from the start
All deliverables are expected to meet WCAG 2.1 AA.
Timeline
Process 1 – Visual identity:
May to December 2026, covering brand strategy, visual identity development, and delivery of collateral materials.
Process 2 – Website design and development:
