About D.M.Designs

We didn't fit the mould, so we built an agency entirely outside of it.
Here at Daria Marie Designs, we believe every business has a special "je ne sais pas" that makes them stand out. It is our job to bring that unique advantage to life in the digital space.

The Founder

My name is Daria (obviously) and I've always done things differently. I'm a self-taught web designer who stepped into this business because everything I saw online was so...boring and formulaic. I could tell the market was aching for a change, for some "joie de vivre" to be reinfused.

Being a mother (I had a newborn when my business really took off!) I understand 1) How different life can be when trying to juggle family and business & 2) The need for your site and systems to unburden your day-to-day operations.

What makes D.M.Designs different/
You're here because you're sick of condescneding tech-bro agencies who make you question your vision. You need someone with skill, problem-solving, and experience. But most of all, you want someone who lets you be you. I’m that someone. As a self-taught web designer, I’ve spent years deep-diving into every technical headache imaginable, troubleshooting issues that stump most, and managing projects with the precision of a seasoned pro. I don’t do formulaic sites or vague, fluffy promises. I build websites that actually work, match your vision, and don’t break under pressure.

No tech jargon, no nonsense—just smart, functional design backed by real expertise. Whether you’re a startup, a small business, or just someone tired of bad web experiences, I make the process smooth, stress-free, and (dare I say) enjoyable.

Experience across every platform

Frequently asked questions/

We believe in complete transparency

Because I’ve put in the work. I’ve spent years solving real-world problems, mastering the tech, and building sites that actually function, without hiding behind a fancy degree. My experience comes from doing, not just studying.

Depends on what you need. No two projects are the same, So I can't do one-size-fits-all pricing, but I can give you a rough estimate. I do my best to charge on a per-page basis which starts at $444/ page however some things may increase or decrease on that design. For example,  I don't charge that for dynamic pages, like blog posts, because the initial design only needs to happen once. So if you have many dynamic pages that pull and duplicate content your estimate would be lower.

There are also some pages that may require custom coding work, or designing & integrating certain plug-ins that may increase the cost, for example a custom-designed interactive map. 

To give you some idea (because lets be honest-we all have budgets in mind) a standard 5-page website can start at $2220 and go up from there.

If you want to, absolutely. I don't believe in holding websites hostage. I build sites that are user-friendly, and I’m happy to walk you through how to make updates. If you’d rather not deal with it, I offer ongoing support so you never have to touch the backend.

The same goes for if I am hosting your website under my plan. Just know that if you decide to take over hosting your own website, you will have to pay for your own hosting, which may be more expensive than hosting through us since we have a corporate plan. 

It depends on the scope. A simple site? Pretty quick. A more complex one? Takes longer. I’ll give you a clear timeline upfront, and I don’t ghost clients.

A single sales page or landing page could take me a couple days. A total website, depending on the site and scope, I like to give myself about 4+ weeks. These estimates are from when I actually begin the project, which may not always be when the deposit is paid.  This also depends on how many assets (branding guides, copy, photos, etc) you have ready and how quickly you can get them to me.

The initial timeline given is for the FIRST REVISION. Standard website contracts allow for up to 3 revisions before extra costs occur, so depending on long many revisions we go through and how long each one takes the timeline can vary greatly.

Yes. A beautiful site is useless if no one can find it. I make sure your site is set up to rank well and actually get seen.

I don’t just build and bail. If you run into an issue, I’ve got your back. Whether it’s a glitch, an update, or a random tech meltdown, I’ll help you get it sorted (extra costs may occur but I'm also not an a$$hole and will always to my best to make sure your website is running smoothly).
