Your website should help people understand what you offer and feel confident taking the next step.
Designed By Dane builds, redesigns, and manages websites for Marysville businesses and organizations, with clear content, thoughtful design, and a scope that fits your needs. Based in Washington and working with clients across Snohomish County, every project starts with what the business actually needs — not a template.
Custom Wix Studio Website + Digital Brand System
For April House Adult Family Home in Marysville, Designed By Dane created a custom Wix Studio website from a blank canvas. The project brought together the site's structure, responsive layouts, and a supporting visual system developed around the client's existing logo.
The website helps families explore the home, understand the care offered, learn about the provider, and ask about current availability.

Most projects fall into one of three categories. The right one depends on where your business is now and what your current website is doing well — or not.
A good fit if you're establishing your online presence for the first time, or replacing a temporary solution — a placeholder page, a social-only presence, or a site you built quickly and outgrew. This is where structure, messaging, and mobile usability get set up properly from the start.
For a website that no longer reflects the business, is difficult for visitors to navigate, or needs a different structure to support how you actually work. A rebuild revisits the page organization, messaging, and design together rather than reskinning the existing site.
For clients who need selected content, layout, usability, or functionality improvements rather than a full rebuild. This might include clearer calls to action, better mobile spacing, reorganized service content, or a fix to something that isn't working.
The appropriate approach depends on reviewing your current platform and website — some sites are worth improving, and some are better rebuilt. I'll tell you which I think makes sense for your situation.
April House is one local example of a custom build, but the work isn't limited to care homes, or to any single industry. If your business needs a clearer, more useful website, that's the starting point — regardless of what you do.
Design is part of it, but the goal is a website that does a job — helping visitors understand the business and take the next step.
Content
Written and organized so visitors can tell what you offer and whether it fits what they need.
Navigation
A clear path to the next step, so people don't have to search for how to reach you.
Mobile Usability
Reads and works well on a phone, since that's where many visitors arrive first.
Visual Consistency
Type, color, and spacing that feel intentional and consistent across every page.
SEO Foundations
Sensible structure, descriptive headings, accurate titles, and crawlable content — a foundation, not a ranking guarantee.
Maintenance
Practical updates after launch, set up so the site stays current — with or without ongoing help.
The scope of a project depends on your goals, your current website, the content you have or need, and the functionality the site requires. Two businesses in the same industry can need very different websites.
Website builds through Designed By Dane start at $599, with more customized projects quoted based on scope. CMS features, integrations, automations, and advanced functionality depend on the agreed proposal — the full April House project isn't the standard starting-price scope.
If you'd like to see how the options compare, the pricing page breaks down what each level includes.
Where a project typically starts
From $599
A clean, professional online presence. Larger or more custom builds are quoted individually based on what the project needs.
Explore Website Options and PricingWebsite management is optional. There's no required Designed By Dane monthly subscription after launch — the website doesn't become a subscription because it was built.
If you'd rather not handle updates yourself, Website Management covers the ongoing work: content and page edits, image swaps, call-to-action changes, small improvements, and basic SEO cleanup. Normal third-party hosting, domain, and platform fees still apply depending on where the site lives.
You don't need to know how many pages you need or which platform makes sense before we start.
What you do, who you serve, what you currently have, and what isn't working.
A new build, a redesign, or targeted improvements — whichever fits, with the scope written down.
Structure, content, and design come together, you review it, and we refine the details before it goes live.
Yes. Designed By Dane is Washington-based and works with businesses and organizations in Marysville and across Snohomish County, as well as remotely with clients in other areas. Work is handled remotely — there's no local office or in-person availability to schedule around.
Yes. Sometimes a full rebuild makes sense, and sometimes targeted improvements are enough. The right approach depends on reviewing your current platform and website — I'll recommend what I think fits rather than automatically the bigger project.
No. April House is one local example of a custom build, but the work isn't limited to care homes or any single industry. If your business needs a clearer, more useful website, that's what matters.
Yes. You can update the site yourself where the platform supports client editing, or keep me involved through optional Website Management. There's no required monthly subscription after launch.
Website builds start at $599, with more customized projects quoted based on scope. CMS features, integrations, and advanced functionality depend on the agreed proposal. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
