Bloomington, Indiana - since 2004

Clear answers.
Lasting help.

I design, build, host, and look after websites for Bloomington small businesses, practices, and nonprofits, help with the technology around them, and explain every part in plain language.

Technology should help people do meaningful work, not make that work harder. That belief is the whole business - and the reason most of these relationships are measured in years, not projects.

He has the patience to explain complex processes to the uninitiated. His perspective balances the creative and the practical.

What people ask

What does David Martin Design do?

Accessible WordPress websites for small businesses and nonprofits in Bloomington, Indiana - designed, built, hosted, and kept running by a small local studio you can reach directly, not an account manager.

What makes it different from other web design agencies?

Every site is accessibility-first, tested against WCAG 2.1 AA, and hosted on a managed server I run and monitor myself. White-hat SEO only, no page-builder lock-in - you own what you pay for.

Who is it for?

Small businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations across Bloomington, Monroe County, and Southern Indiana - professional services, healthcare, restaurants, and trades among them.

How it works

01 - Listen

We start with what the site has to do and who it is for. Usually a call and a look at what you have now.

02 - Build

Accessible WordPress, tested against WCAG standards, and structured so the people who use it every day can keep it current.

03 - Look after

Hosting, updates, backups, monitoring, and security, handled quietly - with a person to email when something looks wrong.
