What is included in custom website design?

Structure-first layout, typography and visual direction, responsive design, and handoff ready for Webflow, React, Shopify, or static HTML depending on the project.

Does Dan Heselton design without building?

Design and build usually run together so decisions stay tied to what ships. Ask if you only need a design phase scoped to your team’s build capacity.

What you walk away with

A site that's been thought through at every level. Not assembled from a template and handed over. You get the design, the build, the system, and the knowledge to use it.

  • Custom Figma design file, fully organised
  • Responsive build for mobile, tablet, and desktop
  • CMS integrated and content-ready
  • Design system and component library
  • Performance optimised and accessible
  • Handover session and documentation

What you won't get

No theme licensing fees. No page builder limitations. No 'that's not possible' conversations six months in.

  • A template with your logo dropped in
  • A site you can't update yourself
  • Three rounds of revisions, then silence
  • A different developer than the one you briefed
  • Hidden costs at the handover stage
  • A site that looks like everyone else's
