dsh Design is set up for real-world small and start-up businesses that need to control costs. Instead of big, complex projects, the focus is on clear, useful websites and design materials that you can actually use and afford.
The standard website package gives you a complete site, domain and hosting management, and ongoing maintenance at a price that makes sense for new ventures and small operators. If you need something different, you can get a custom quote that still keeps your budget front and centre.
Most clients prefer simple, once-a-year invoicing that covers hosting, domain renewal and ongoing maintenance. This keeps your website running smoothly without you needing to track multiple services or dates.
Updates to content, small design tweaks and general housekeeping are included as part of the ongoing relationship. Larger changes or new projects are discussed upfront so you always know what to expect.
With dsh Design you work directly with Ross from the first conversation through to long-term maintenance. There is no call centre or ticket system to fight with, just a direct line to the person who built your site.
Support is practical and down-to-earth. If something needs changing, you can email or call, explain what you want in everyday language, and Ross will take care of the technical side for you.
You explain your business, goals and what you need from your website or design work, in your own words.
You receive a clear outline of what will be done, the timeframe and indicative pricing.
You provide any text, images or brochures you already have. If you need help with wording, Ross can write it for you.
The website or graphics are created based on your needs. You do not need to touch any technical tools.
You review the draft, request changes and confirm everything looks and works how you want.
Your site goes live and hosting, domain and settings are taken care of for you.
As your business grows, you can request updates, new pages or fresh design materials at any time.
dsh Design has worked with a wide mix of small and local businesses, including farms, trades, clubs, online shops and service providers. The common thread is practical, easy-to-use websites and design materials that fit how each client actually works.
Because the focus is on understanding your business first, the same straightforward approach adapts well to many industries. Whether you are running a rural business, a local club or an online store, the goal is the same: a clear, reliable online presence that is looked after for you.
If you like the sound of an affordable, straightforward website with ongoing personal support, the next step is simple. Take a quick look through the portfolio, check the FAQ for common questions, then get in touch to talk about your own project.
