Clear answers and lasting help with your website and technology

David Martin Design is a small web studio in Bloomington, Indiana. I design, build, host, and look after websites for small businesses, professional practices, and nonprofits, and I help with the technology around them: search and Google Business Profile, email and domains, AI tools, and the questions that don’t fit anywhere else. I explain what I’m doing as I go, so you understand your own setup, and I stay on after launch. Some clients have been with me for more than a decade.

I'm Dave Martin, a web developer, web designer, and web hosting provider based in Bloomington, Indiana. I’m an avid pickleball player, e-biker, frisbee enthusiast, and music lover. When I’m not working or engaging in sports, I love traveling, meeting new people, and learning about their unique stories. I’m fortunate to share my life and many adventures with my wonderful wife, Lindsey, who is my biggest supporter and often joins me on my travels and outdoor activities.

Together, we enjoy discovering Bloomington’s vibrant food, music, & arts scene and experiencing life to the fullest. This connection to our community is one of the reasons I’m proud to be a Level 7 Google Maps Local Guide, with 1,385 photos and more than 31 million views, visually documenting people’s lives and places.

Growing up in the ‘80s, I was deeply involved with video games and personal computers. I was an early adopter of online services like CompuServe and America Online, and I taught myself to program in QBasic, proudly coding “The Flintstones” theme as one of my first programming feats. Designing my first website in 1998 as part of a high school project sparked my passion for web design and led me to pursue a career in creating powerful, meaningful digital experiences for clients.

I believe in providing personal, outstanding customer service. "Always (try) give more than people expect."

I designed my first website in 1998 as part of a class project while attending Bloomington High School North (Go Cougars!). It was this project that inspired me to create websites and experiment with creating new ideas on the web.

Beyond client work, I’m adjunct faculty at Indiana University’s School of Public Health-Kinesiology, a member of the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce (since 2021), and an Amplify Bloomington Ambassador. Staying connected to the university and the local business community keeps me current on both the research side of health and wellness organizations’ web needs and the practical realities small Bloomington businesses face.

Working with Raymond

I don't do all of this alone. Raymond Labban joined David Martin Design in 2024 as our Digital Marketing & SEO Specialist. He handles much of the SEO, content, and Google Business Profile work for clients. You'll know who is working on your site, and you can still reach me directly. Meet the team.

What you can count on

You’ll always know what’s happening with your website, why it matters, and what it costs. The work is done carefully, explained clearly, and still standing years from now. If you don’t need something, I’ll tell you.
