Independent web design studio · North West England
I design bold, modern, beautifully simple websites for family-run and local businesses — the ones who’ve been let down by templates, big agencies, or “the lad who built it years ago”. You work directly with me. And you own every part of it.

Good businesses lose work every day to a tired website — not because they aren’t good enough, but because their site doesn’t say so.
Daniels Studio exists to fix that. Bold, confident, genuinely modern websites — without the agency price tag, the year-long timelines, or the feeling that you’re locked out of your own business.
Selected work
A small studio takes on a small number of projects — so each one gets proper attention. Here are a few of the most recent.
What I do
Most small businesses don’t need a 40-page website. They need a handful of pages, done properly, that win the phone call. That’s what I build.
A complete, modern site designed around your customers and your goals — fast, mobile-first, and genuinely a pleasure to use.
Stuck with a dated site, or one you can’t edit or even log into? I’ll rebuild it and hand you back the keys, cleanly.
Logo refresh, colours, type and tone of voice — a consistent, premium look that travels from your website to your van.
The words that do the selling. I’ll write clear, warm, persuasive copy so visitors understand exactly why to choose you.
Set up and optimise your Google Business Profile so you show up when nearby customers search — and never lose the ranking you’ve earned.
Optional monthly care: hosting, backups, small changes and peace of mind — with the freedom to leave whenever you like.
Why work with me
You won’t be passed to an account manager or a junior. You talk to the person actually designing and building your site — start to finish. Fewer projects, more care, and decisions made in plain English.
Your domain and hosting are registered in your name, on accounts you control. If we ever part ways, you keep everything. No hostages.
Domains, DNS, hosting, SSL — I’ll explain anything you want to understand, and quietly handle the rest. You’re never made to feel daft.
A clear, fixed price agreed up front. No surprise invoices, no “that’ll be extra” for every little change during the build.
Fast, accessible, search-friendly sites — and a careful launch that protects the Google ranking and reviews you’ve already earned.
The keys to your site
The number one fear I hear: “Will I disappear from Google?” or “Will I get locked out of my own website?” Here’s exactly how I make sure neither happens — in plain English.
Your web address (e.g. yourbusiness.co.uk) is registered in your own name and email. I’m only ever given access to point it at the new site — never ownership. You can revoke that any time.
Your current site stays live and untouched while I build the new one on a private preview link. Nothing changes for your customers until you’ve seen it and said yes.
Same web address, matching page links, and a verified Google Business Profile that I never disconnect. Your reviews, map pin and ranking carry straight over.
You keep your web address, your Google presence and your reviews. The only thing that changes is that your website finally looks as good as your business actually is — and you hold every login.
How it works
We talk about your business, your customers and what you want the site to do. No cost, no commitment.
I design the look and feel and show you a real preview. We refine it together until it feels right.
I build it fast, responsive and search-ready, and set up your domain, hosting and Google profile properly.
We go live carefully, protect your ranking, and I hand you every login with a plain-English guide.
