PROFILE · THE PROPRIETOR

Hi — I'm Dan.

In the years I’ve lived in New Hampshire, I’ve met an absurd number of genuinely great small businesses that almost nobody can find. The kind you only hear about because a neighbor mentioned them at a cookout.

Now that more than 80% of buyers look people up online first, word of mouth alone doesn’t carry the way it used to. So I decided to help the cause and get the word out — one honest website at a time.

That’s it. That’s 603 Digital. Me, a laptop, and a stubborn belief that the best shop in town shouldn’t lose work to whoever ranks higher on a phone screen.

80%+

of buyers search online before they ever pick up the phone.

If your business doesn’t turn up — or turns up looking rough on a phone — that search ends at a competitor.

Four things I won’t budge on.

Prices on the website

If a designer won’t tell you the cost until you’ve sat through a call, that’s a sales process, not a service.

You own everything

Domain, code, content, photos — in your name from day one. I’d rather earn the next year than lock you into it.

Plain English, always

No funnel decks. If I can’t say what I did and why it helps you in one sentence, I shouldn’t have done it.

Your phone is the real screen

Most customers meet you on a cracked phone in a truck cab. That’s the layout I design first and test hardest.
