Web Design Company

For Small Businesses Near Dayton, OH

We started Daor Design in 2011 from our apartment in Dayton, Ohio, with a vision to help small businesses build big brands. Paul had just graduated from the University of Dayton School of Law and Sarah was frosting cakes at Ashley’s Pastry Shop to pay the bills while slowly growing a portfolio of graphic design clients on evenings and weekends. Fast-forward a few years, and our team at Daor Design has helped hundreds of small business owners just like you build their brands and grow their businesses with Dayton web design services.

Our comprehensive branding services include logo design, website design, and digital marketing for local service-based businesses. No two businesses are the same, so we invest the time upfront to understand you and your priorities for your business. From there, we take a collaborative approach to ensure our work aligns nicely with your goals.

Thanks to the amazing small business owners we serve and word-of-mouth referrals from happy clients, we proudly work with small businesses spanning dozens of industries including home services, healthcare, technology, and more. Over time, we’ve slowly built a small, trusted team to help us become the best in the industry at comprehensive brand management for small businesses. From our team to yours, we wish you all the best and hope we have the opportunity to help you build your brand like nobody’s business!

“The team at Daor Design surpassed our expectations designing the website for our startup company. They were recommended to me by a mutual acquaintance. The entire process went smoothly and efficiently, and they delivered even quicker than originally projected. We have medical device technology that solves a rather complex problem, and we need to present it clearly to stakeholders and potential investors. Daor Design did a great job organizing and presenting the information in a clean, high-tech, easy-to-understand website design. We are proud of our new website and the feedback we have received has been very positive as we shared it with others.”

“It was great to work with Daor to refresh my logo and overhaul my website. I had reservations about working with a designer as I was concerned that my style and tastes would not align with theirs. But much to my surprise, I loved what they produced! They also gave me chances to revise and provide feedback along the way. As much as the design work was top-notch, the process of creating the website content with them allowed me to take a fresh look at my business. It enabled me to adjust my messaging and better position myself in the market. They are professional, easy to work with and communicate well. I highly recommend Daor Design.”

“Daor Design LLC did an excellent job working with our team to create a modern, attractive and relevant brand as Elter Construction looks to the future of commercial construction in Columbus, OH! I would happily refer Daor Design LLC to any company not only looking to gain awareness on how their brand is being experienced but also those who want to be proactive about bringing their existing brand up to speed. They work hard and turned around our color scheme, logo, and website faster than I thought.”

“I’ve worked with Daor Design for a couple of different logo projects, and this most recent was the best yet. The key? – I came to them with just a business name, the rationale behind it, and little else. After only an initial pair of concepts and a single revision, their graphic designer nailed the visual brand identity I was looking for, even though I couldn’t articulate it at the beginning of the process. Beyond the design itself, the folks who keep the project on track are excellent to work with and provide a generous customer experience.”

“From start to finish, Daor Design did an amazing job redesigning my law firm’s logo and website. I could not possibly be happier with the new site’s aesthetics. Moreover, throughout the content editing process, they were prompt and thorough in implementing the changes that I requested. Thanks to all of the time and hard work that Daor Design put into developing my firm’s new website, visitors who are interested in retaining my services are more likely to have a very positive first impression of my firm! Thanks, Daor!”

“When it was time for us to take the next step in the promotion of our book, we knew Daor Design was where we needed to look for help. From the first conversation to the final product, Daor was exceptionally responsive and professional. Our website design was lacking professionalism and flow but Daor knew just how to take it to the next level. We now have a beautiful website that functions on both desktop and mobile devices. We could not be more pleased with the ease of working with the Daor team and the look for our final website!”

What to Expect

Our Step-by-Step Process

The better we get to know you and your goals for your business, the higher quality of work we can do for you. That’s why we start with a questionnaire to gather information about your business, services, differentiators, design preferences, goals, and more. After reviewing your questionnaire, we do a video kick-off meeting to go over the information you shared, ask any remaining questions our team might have, and fine-tune our strategy to position your brand and website to reach your target market.

Because your brand is foundational to your website design, we make sure your logo and brand style guide are in place before starting your website. If you’re already happy with your brand, our team will review and round out your brand resources to help keep your brand consistent throughout your website, marketing materials, social media, and more. However, if your current brand is working against you, we suggest a more extensive brand refresh or rebrand to give your business a professional edge and attract quality clients.

Everything comes together in our Dayton web design services. We do a competitor analysis to understand your local competitive landscape. From there, we research the most effective keywords for your business and integrate those into your new website. Following best practices, we design your website to have intuitive user journeys that end with clear calls to action, incorporate the latest accessibility standards, and respond to different screen sizes so it always looks great on all devices. By the end, you’ll have a website you can take pride in, one that immediately establishes credibility for your business.

Now that you have a great-looking brand and website, you’re ready to talk to your target market and grow your business. Because each business is different, we tailor your marketing strategy to your specific stage of business, competitive landscape, and business goals. From there, we take a hands-on approach to helping you grow your business as we transition into a monthly marketing service. We leverage tools like social media, a blog, online listing management, SEO, paid ads, and more. If you’d rather manage your own marketing, we can equip you with tools like branded graphics for your social media profiles and updated marketing materials to set you up for success.

Congratulations! You have a brand that resonates with your target market, a website that you’re proud of, and a marketing strategy to help grow your business. Now, you’re ready to maintain what you’ve built and measure your progress toward your goals. Starting with proactive website maintenance, we keep your website aligned with your evolving business and new web design best practices. With our marketing services, complimentary performance reporting is built in—complete with a performance dashboard, deep-dive video reports, support calls, and annual strategy sessions—to ensure our work always aligns nicely with your goals.
