Nationwide Website Design / Designed By Dane
Your website designer doesn't need to be in your ZIP code.
I work with small businesses remotely, which means the project doesn't depend on being in the same city. What matters is understanding the business, the customer, what the website needs to communicate, and what should happen next.
Whether you're starting from scratch, rebuilding an older site, or improving something you already have, the process can be handled digitally from start to launch.
A website project revolves around business information, existing website access, photos and assets, page planning, written feedback, revisions, platform access, setup, and launch coordination. None of that inherently requires the designer and client to sit in the same room.
You explain what the business does, who it serves, what customers usually ask, and what you're trying to improve.
I organize that information into the appropriate structure and build.
You review the work and send clear written feedback.
We make the appropriate adjustments.
Once approved, the finished website goes live.
The distance matters a lot less than clear communication does.
Most project communication happens through email so there is a written record of the scope, decisions, revisions, links, content, and what still needs attention.
Good documentation makes remote work easier — and usually makes the project clearer too.
What That Means in Practice
Fast Launch Website
Starting at $249
For focused businesses that need a streamlined professional presence.
Custom Website Build
Starting at $499
For businesses that need a more individualized structure around their services, content, brand, customer journey, and goals.
Existing Website Improvements
For businesses that already have a site but need restructuring, service pages, better mobile presentation, clearer messaging, navigation cleanup, visual improvements, stronger calls to action, local or service content, or search-foundation improvements.
You don't have to rebuild the entire website just because part of it isn't working.
A residential care home, an author's brand, and a training product each need something different from a website. Here's what that range looks like in practice.
A small residential care home that needed to feel as warm and trustworthy online as it does in person — clear about the setting, the care, and the day-to-day.
Visit Curtis Hill Estate
A website built around storytelling and brand personality rather than a traditional local-service template — content presented around the identity of the project instead of a generic small-business structure.
Visit Red Firehouse
A more functional build focused on presenting HVAC training products clearly and giving customers a straightforward path from understanding the offer to purchasing it.
Visit TechTrainer HVACThe designer doesn't need to invent local expertise. The business provides the real context — I structure it and present it effectively.
Local relevance should come from the business — not from pretending the designer has an office in every city.
What a Local-Business Site May Need
A website should clearly explain what the business does, where it operates, who it serves, and what each page is about.
If location pages make sense, they should contain genuinely useful information for that location — not simply repeat the same page with a different city name swapped in.
Build the page for the customer first. Give search engines enough structure to understand it too.
Platform choice depends on site requirements, existing accounts, ease of editing, functionality, budget, and future needs. It's a practical decision — not the thing that defines the project.
Not every project works on every platform — the right choice depends on what the website actually needs to do.
You can manage your own site after launch.
Website Management is optional — it exists if you'd rather hand off the ongoing work.
Normal third-party platform, domain, or hosting costs may still apply.
Optional ongoing help is available if you want it.
Your website doesn't become a subscription because I built it.
Can provide basic business and service information.
Can share photos or assets where appropriate.
Are comfortable reviewing work digitally.
Can provide written feedback.
Want a clear, documented process.
Don't need an in-person agency relationship.
You don't need to know exactly what the website should look like. That's part of what I'm here to figure out.
What you do, who you serve, and what you're trying to improve.
The right structure and pages for what the business needs.
Structured around the information and goals we've agreed on.
Send clear written feedback on what's working and what isn't.
Make the appropriate adjustments until it's right.
Once approved, the finished website launches.
Designed By Dane is a Washington business, but website projects can be completed remotely for businesses elsewhere in the United States.
Communication, review, revisions, and handoff can all be handled digitally.
Yes. I'm available to work with small businesses throughout the United States. The project is handled remotely using the same digital process as a local one.
Most of the project happens over email — business information, page planning, build, written feedback, revisions, and launch. Everything stays documented so both sides can refer back to decisions.
No. Most work can be handled digitally from start to finish. If a specific project genuinely needed something unusual, we'd talk about it then.
The Fast Launch website starts at $249, and a Custom Website Build starts at $499 — including 1–3 pages at $499, 4–6 pages at $799, and 7+ pages starting at $1,200. See the pricing page for full details.
Squarespace, Wix, GoDaddy, and Hostinger depending on project needs. The right choice depends on the site's requirements, your existing accounts, and what you need the site to do.
Yes, depending on the platform and how the site is set up. Sometimes targeted improvements are enough rather than a full rebuild.
Yes, optionally. See Website Management if you'd rather hand off the ongoing work.
No. There's no required Designed By Dane management plan after launch. Third-party platform, domain, and hosting costs may still apply separately.
I build a solid on-page and search foundation into each site — clear page topics, useful headings, accurate context, crawlable text, and descriptive metadata. No ranking outcome is guaranteed.
Potentially, when they genuinely make sense for the business and contain useful, location-specific information. I don't advocate mass-duplicating the same page with different city names.
I need accurate information about the customers, services, service area, and business. You know the local business; I turn that information into a website structure customers can understand.
You don't need to be in Washington, know the platform, or know exactly how many pages you need.
Tell me about the business, where it operates, what you currently have, and what you're trying to improve. I'll tell you what I think makes sense.
