Independent builder. Personal attention.
Professional websites for small businesses and independent creatives. I handle the design and technical setup, so visitors can understand what you offer, see your work, and contact you.
For small businesses, independent artists & musicians.
01 / Selected work
A closer look at my work, starting with my own home for music, visual art, and coaching.
02 / What I can help with
Start with the pages and features your visitors actually need. I’ll organize the content, build for mobile, and connect the agreed tools.
Pages that explain what you do, show your work, and help people contact you. Designed to read well on phones, tablets, and computers.
Business websites · Portfolios · Artist & music sites
A contact form, social links, music or video embeds, or an existing booking tool. We agree which connections belong in your project.
Integrations are scoped individually
Get the agreed account access and editing instructions. Choose to manage updates yourself or discuss a defined support plan.
Clear access · Simple editing · Optional care
An agreed scope keeps the build practical—and makes everyone’s part clear.
The pages, mobile layout, contact route, social links, and metadata agreed for your project. Domain and hosting configuration can be part of the scope; extra integrations are identified separately.
A short description of your business, the services or work you want to show, your contact details, and any copy or images you have permission to use. I can help organize and lightly edit what you provide.
The agreed website, account access, and practical instructions for the editing approach we choose. We discuss ongoing costs and support before setup.
03 / How we get there
Start with what you do, who needs the site, and what a visitor should do next. A rough idea is enough to begin.
Set the pages, content, features, costs, and revision rounds in writing. Extra requests get a separate scope.
Review a working draft and bring feedback together. We refine the site against the agreed brief.
Check the essentials, connect the approved domain, and explain the accounts and editing approach. Choose support if it is useful.
04 / A straightforward starting point
YOUR WEBSITE
Request a quote
Tell me what you do and what your website needs to help people do. I’ll propose a manageable scope with the build fee and any running costs explained separately.
Full copywriting, brand identity, extra integrations, ecommerce, customer accounts, and custom payment systems are outside the core website offer.
Talk through your projectPages, features, revision rounds, payment arrangements, and handover are agreed in writing before work begins.
UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE BUDGET
Ongoing support is optional. We can agree a specific set of routine checks or content edits, or quote a one-off change when you need it.
Third-party costs are separate: domain registration, hosting, paid booking or form tools, and any other subscriptions. We identify the services and their costs before you agree to them.
05 / The person building your site
I’m Dave Baker—a musician, visual artist, and independent website builder. My creative work lives under the name Baker Dave.
I started Baker Dave Design to help small businesses and creative people present their work online without having to manage every technical detail themselves.
You’ll speak directly with me about the brief, review the build with me, and get a clear handover. We’ll agree what the site needs now and keep extra work clearly scoped.

06 / Good questions
A short description of your business, the services or work you want to show, your preferred contact details, and any images or existing copy you have permission to use. I can help organize and lightly edit what you bring. Full copywriting and brand development are separate work.
We agree the revision rounds and feedback process as part of the written scope. Bring feedback together for each round so we can work through it clearly. New pages, features, or a change in direction may need a separate quote.
Domain registration, hosting, and any paid third-party tools have their own costs. Optional support is separate from the website build. I identify proposed services and costs before setup, so you can review the whole budget.
The quote sets out the project fee and proposed payment arrangement. We agree the payment stages, launch conditions, and cancellation terms before work begins.
We agree ownership, account access, source files, and any third-party licenses before work begins. The proposal identifies the domain and hosting accounts and explains what is included in the handover.
We choose an editing approach around the content you expect to change. A simple content file, a content editor, or asking for an update can each make sense. We agree the approach before building; a visual editor is not automatically included.
Support is optional. You can manage your site and service accounts yourself, or request changes as separately quoted work. We agree who handles routine checks and updates, along with any post-launch correction period, before launch.
My starting offer is focused business and creative websites. Complex ecommerce, customer accounts, custom payment processing, and sensitive-data systems are outside this initial service. A small integration or workflow improvement can be discussed separately.
