Valuable work experience for students and recent graduates

A message from founder Stephanie Burak: "When starting this company, I made the deliberate decision to employ college students and recent graduates in order to give them valuable (and well-paid) work experience. While the Web Design on Fire business mission is to help your small business and web presence "spread like wildfire", our social mission is to provide mentorship and real-world experience for young people so that they can build their resumes, portfolios, and earn top, high-paying jobs out of the gate.

"I am hoping that by paying well, current students will be able to meet their financial requirements while allowing them more time to focus on their studies. I also hope it will allow recent grads the ability to meet their financial requirements in less hours so that they have more time in their week for job-hunting and networking."

Student Testimonial

  • "This summer I received the opportunity to work for Stephanie and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience! For most of my life I have resented the idea of learning in a college environment and now I can honestly say I am excited to take marketing classes this semester. Stephanie is an uplifting, encouraging person who has not only provided me with a job but has ALSO inspired me to love learning!" David Sullivan, Harper College
