Custom Web Design

Custom Web Design for Small Businesses and Local Organizations

Your website is often the first impression someone gets of your business. It should reflect who you actually are, not look like a template that could belong to anyone.

David Martin Design builds custom WordPress websites designed around your specific audience, goals, and budget. We have been doing this work for Bloomington-area businesses and nonprofits since 2004. You can see examples of our finished work in our portfolio, including before-and-after comparisons that show the difference a rebuild can make.

What a Project Looks Like

Every engagement starts with a conversation about what you are trying to accomplish and who you are trying to reach. From there, our team handles the planning, design, content structure, development, and launch, and stays available after launch for questions and ongoing support.

Most projects include: domain setup and registration, WordPress installation and theme configuration, custom design aligned to your brand, on-page SEO and metadata, Google Analytics and Search Console setup, and a walkthrough so you can manage content yourself going forward. After launch, most clients move to our managed hosting plan for continued maintenance and security.

Who We Work With

Our clients tend to be small businesses, healthcare practices, nonprofits, and community organizations in Monroe County and surrounding areas. They want a website that represents them well, loads quickly, and does not require a developer call every time something needs to change.

If you are starting from scratch, migrating from an old site, or rebuilding something that has been neglected, we are a good fit.
