About DJB Web Design

Personal Service.
Professional Results.

I'm Dan — a UK-based freelance web designer with over 20 years of experience building websites that don't just look good, but work flawlessly. My background spans both technical support and web design, which means I understand a website's foundations just as deeply as its visual design. Nothing slips through the cracks between how a site looks and how it actually functions.

As a neurodivergent designer, I naturally notice the details others miss — tighter structure, cleaner layouts, clearer user journeys. That precision shapes every project I take on, and it's something clients feel in the final result.

Every site I build starts with one question: what do you need it to do for your business? From there, I work directly with you — no account managers, no outsourcing — to deliver something fast, accessible, and genuinely focused on turning visitors into enquiries.

How It Works

From Conversation

A clear, collaborative process designed to get you a website you're proud of — on time and without the headaches.

Discovery

We start with a conversation about your business, your goals, and your customers. This foundation shapes every decision that follows.

Design

Custom mockups crafted around your brand. You'll see exactly what you're getting before a single line of code is written.

Build

Pixel-perfect development with performance, SEO, and mobile-first principles baked in from the very first line of code.

Launch & Beyond

Your site goes live and I stay with you. Ongoing support means you're never left to figure things out on your own.

Questions

A Few Things Clients
Ask Before Starting

Do I get a fully bespoke website?

Yes — every project is built from scratch around your business. No templates, no page builders, no recycled designs. What you get is designed and coded specifically for you.

How long does a project take?

Timelines depend on scope and how ready your content is. Once I understand what you need, I'll give you a clear, realistic timeframe — no vague estimates.

Can you update or redesign my existing site?

Yes. If your site feels outdated, slow, or isn't converting visitors, I'll advise whether a targeted refresh or a full rebuild makes more sense for your situation.

Do I need hosting or a domain already?

Not at all. If you already have them, great. If not, I'll point you in the right direction and handle as much of the technical setup as you need.

Will my website work on mobile?

Every site I build is mobile-first. That means it's designed for phones and tablets before anything else — not an afterthought added at the end.

Can you build a web application for my business?

Yes. If you need something beyond a standard website — a customer portal, booking system, internal tool, or any custom functionality — I can scope and build a web application tailored to your exact requirements, delivered as a fully managed service.

What happens after launch?

You're not left on your own. Ongoing maintenance, updates, and support are available — so your site stays secure, fast, and up to date as your business grows.

Bespoke by Default

The Right Solution
For The Job

Every project is scoped around what you actually need.

A focused single-page site is very different from a multi-page build, a web application, or an e-commerce platform with forms, SEO work, and ongoing changes. That's why every enquiry starts with a conversation — to understand your business, your goals, and what will genuinely move the needle for you. No upselling. No guesswork.

  • Clear advice on the simplest solution that will work
  • Design matched to your business, audience, and goals
  • A scope based on real requirements, not a generic package
  • Technical depth that goes beyond surface-level design
  • A friendly first step with no pressure to overcomplicate it
