My name is Brian, I am the owner and lead developer of DSGNs. I got into web development after teaching English in South Korea in the mid 2000's. I wanted to change careers when I returned to Canada and I had always toyed with websites as a teenager and this fascination lingered with me. So after teaching myself how to build WordPress websites for several years I attended SAIT to get my certification and really learn to code properly. Upon finishing school I immediately went to work with a couple small businesses in the Calgary area and have been growing every year since 2012.
What I found was that a lot of small businesses don't have the funds to spend thousands of dollars upfront on a new website. And the ones that did, got taken advantage of and have a terrible website that looks like it was built by someone in a dungeon and haven't seen design trends for the last 10 years. They were in a frustrating spot - they either can't afford a good website, and if they can they don't know who to trust to make something great. So I tweaked my business model to fit their needs. That's how I came up with my $0 down and $250 a month model. It's more manageable for a small business to handle and won't break the bank account.
