Welcome

I’m David Hayden, a seasoned WordPress specialist with over 25 years of hands-on experience in web and graphic design. After earning a BA in Product, Graphic & Interactive Design from the University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, in 1999, I set out to help businesses thrive through high-quality, design-led digital solutions.

In 2006, I founded DH Design to deliver tailored graphic design services to small and medium-sized businesses across Ireland.

Now based in the heart of the EU, I collaborate with agencies, marketing teams, and clients across Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, the UK, and Ireland. My portfolio includes work for global names like Uber, Channel 4, Diageo Ireland, the EU Policy Center, and Proximus Belgium, along with hundreds of SMEs and public-sector organisations.

My Philosophy:

Quality Design That Delivers

I believe good design should pay off. It’s more than just how your website looks—it’s about delivering a user experience that supports your goals, builds trust, and drives results.

Many businesses fall into the trap of using generic templates. I take a custom approach, combining market research with beautiful, effective design—resulting in websites that engage users and elevate your brand.

The Process:

Keeping It Simple

Every project begins with a conversation focused on what you actually need from your website. I ask three key questions:

1. How do you envision it? Let’s define the style, tone, and layout that reflect your brand identity.
2. What do you want it to do? Whether it’s lead generation, e-commerce, or content delivery—we’ll build it with purpose.
3. Who will use it? We identify your audience and design around their needs for maximum impact.

This process ensures your site is user-friendly, functional, and tailored—no cookie-cutter solutions here.

Collaboration with Industry Experts

I regularly collaborate with a trusted network of developers, designers, and creative professionals—including graphic designers from Antwerp and web developers from Lier. Together, we’ve built everything from custom websites for Flemish food brands to multi-channel campaigns for public sector and private clients. Our shared commitment to quality ensures consistent results across all mediums, from web to print.
