Dan Strohl, founder and web designer at Strohl.dev in Vancouver, BC

About

I'm Dan.
You'll work with me.

I'm a web designer in Vancouver, BC, and I run Strohl.dev as a studio of one. I build custom websites for established businesses and professional firms, and you work directly with me the whole way through. No account managers, no handoffs.

Where this started

The first client never asked for a website.

Sena Law, a Vancouver family-law firm, had a site that didn't match the quality of their work. Instead of pitching them, I rebuilt it, the whole thing, and sent them a live link. They looked at it on their phones, compared it to what they had, and signed. That build-first project is what this studio is built on.

It taught me the thing I now design every engagement around: owners don't avoid redesigns because they don't care. They avoid them because a redesign usually means meetings, homework, and decisions they don't have time for. So I take the time instead, and you judge a finished thing, not a pitch. For law firms, that's now a standing offer: I build your firm's new site before you pay a dollar. For larger custom builds, we scope it properly first, with a clear fixed price, half to begin and half at launch.

How a project runs

One call to start.
One review to finish.

  1. 01One intake call. What you do, who you want more of, what's not working. That's the only meeting.
  2. 02I design and build. Strategy, design, code, and the words themselves. You get a live link, not wireframes.
  3. 03One round of notes. You mark up the real site. I make it right.
  4. 04Launch, in your name. Your domain, your accounts, your keys. Most clients then keep me on a monthly care plan so it never goes stale again.

What that means for you

One person. Fully accountable.

When you hire me, you get the person who actually designs and builds your site, start to finish. No junior doing the real work while a senior name sits on the invoice, no committee, no being passed around. You run your business, I handle the website, and when something needs changing you send one message and it's done. Everything ends up in your name, on your own domain. You own all of it.
