One person. Houlton, Maine.
Every web designer asks what platform you want. Wrong question.
The platform isn't your problem. Your problem is that nobody has written down what you do, who you do it for, and why someone should call you instead of the guy down the road. I write that first. Then I build the site around it.
Every small business has a void that needs to be filled with behind the scenes work. David helps with that, in a HUGE way.
A site that loads fast, reads right on a phone, and says something true about your business.
Copy written for you. Not lorem ipsum with a note that says “client to provide.” Most of the work is figuring out what you actually sell and who’s buying it. The code is the easy part.
SEO set up on day one instead of sold back to you as an upgrade in six months.
When it’s done I hand you the keys and show you how to drive it. If you’d rather I drove, I can do that too.
Three ways to hire the studio.
Two businesses. Two sites. Go look at both.
Every small business has a void that needs to be filled with behind the scenes work. It’s hard to fill those shoes when you’re already generating and doing the work as well as all the other ‘hats’ small business owners wear. David helps with that, in a HUGE way! I’m so grateful that we have crossed paths. The impact on both of my businesses is very evident, feel free to see his work through both of my websites. Aside from website development he has valuable insights and expertise in general helping small businesses! You won’t regret investing in yourself with the help of Dead Pixel Design 🤘 100% recommended

Tell me what your business does. I’ll tell you what it needs.
No pitch deck. No discovery call that turns into four discovery calls. Send me what you do and what’s bugging you about the site you’ve got. If I can help, you get a number. If I can’t, you get that instead.
The internet is haunted. Your website doesn’t have to be.
