Profile of Daniel Bays

Hi, I'm Daniel Bays

Web Designer • Developer • U.S. Army Veteran • Creative Problem Solver

I grew up in Colorado and later moved to Arizona to pursue my education in Mass Communications. After graduating, I felt a strong calling to serve and went on to spend ten years in the United States Army. My time in the military strengthened my work ethic, discipline, attention to detail, and commitment to seeing every project through the right way — qualities that now define my approach to web design.

After completing my service, I returned to school and earned my B.A. in Web Design & Multimedia. It was during this time that I discovered just how much I enjoy building websites — seeing a project come to life, creating clean and modern layouts, and helping small businesses build a strong online presence.

Since 2018, I’ve worked as a freelance web designer, partnering with small, family-owned businesses, startups, and community organizations. My goal is simple: build websites that look great, load quickly, function smoothly, and help businesses connect with their customers.

I take a very personal and collaborative approach — I listen, I ask questions, and I focus on the small details that make each business unique. Every website I build is tailored to the client’s goals, voice, and brand.

My Design Approach

I focus on the small details that make each business unique. I help small businesses build clean, modern, and high-performing websites. After earning my degree in Mass Communications, I served ten years in the U.S. Army before returning to complete my B.A. in Web Design & Multimedia. Since 2018, I’ve designed and developed custom websites for local and family-owned businesses, focusing on personalized service, strong communication, and results that truly support each client’s goals.

Outside of Web Design

When I’m not designing or coding, you’ll usually find me outdoors — hiking, skiing, spending time with my dog, working in the garden, or staying active at the gym.

Web design allows me to blend creativity, problem-solving, and meaningful connections with real people — and I’m grateful for every project I get to bring to life
