Why businesses switch to a proper build

Built on a page builder you have outgrownWix and Squarespace are good starting points. Most businesses outgrow them within a year or two. By then the cost of moving is higher and the site has already been holding the business back.
Delivered and never seen againA lot of businesses have been here. The site gets built, the developer disappears, and six months later something breaks with no one to call. I stay involved after launch. That is not a selling point, it is just how I work.
Loads too slowly to competeSlow websites lose visitors before they have read a word. They also rank lower in search results. Every website I build hits 90 or above on PageSpeed from day one, not as an afterthought.

A site built for growth, not just launch day

Event Cup Solutions had a clear idea of what they wanted and a product worth selling online. We built the site from scratch in 2020. By 2025 it was generating over 13,000 sessions a year, up 718% year on year. The business was acquired by a national brand. They kept me on after the acquisition.

How the Website Development Process Works

Every website built by Daylan Design starts with a clear brief. Before any design work begins, the site architecture, content structure and technical requirements are agreed. This prevents scope creep and means the project moves faster once development starts.

Performance is built in from day one, not added at the end. Target scores of 90+ on Google PageSpeed are achieved through server-side optimisation, correctly sized images, deferred non-critical scripts and lean code, not by removing functionality.

Websites are built to be maintainable. Clean, well-structured code means future edits are straightforward, whether they are made through a care plan, in-house or by another developer if your circumstances change.

Following an initial conversation, a clear project proposal and timeline will be provided.

Kyle Daylan — web developer and designer

One developer. No handoffs, no ticket queue.

I've been building websites for UK businesses for over 10 years. Every project is handled directly by me: I scope it, I build it, I hand it over. There is no account manager sitting between you and the work.

If you have a question six months after launch, you reach the same person who built the site. That continuity matters more than most people realise until something goes wrong.

Website Design FAQs

How long does a website project take?

It varies depending on the scope and complexity of your project. Get in touch and we can discuss what to expect for your specific requirements.

Do you build on WordPress or other platforms?

The primary stack is WordPress, which suits most businesses well. For projects that benefit from custom development, interactivity or specific performance requirements, Next.js is also available.

What happens after the website launches?

Ongoing support is available through a WordPress care plan or website management retainer. Alternatively, the site can be handed over fully with documentation.

Do you work with businesses outside the West Midlands?

Yes. Most projects run entirely remotely. Daylan Design is based in the West Midlands but works with businesses across the UK.
