About Us

WE’RE HERE FOR YOU

And we can help you make sense of the technology …

We’re many things here at DDM. Titles like Creatives, Designers, Developers, Marketers, and Educators all fit, however the most important thing you should know is that we’re your partner.
We’re coming up on 20 years and have been fortunate enough to grow with many of our clients over that time. We’ve seen and educated ourselves about all of the “next best things,” the “killer apps,” and all of the hype that our industry tries to push on businesses. We excel at separating the truth from the hype and focus on the solutions that make the most sense for your business and customers.
Our job is to understand your business and the way you work as well as you do, and offer the solutions that make the most sense within your budget.

OUR PROCESS

01–

Explore

We don’t engage in complicated discovery meetings. We engage with your ideas and immerse ourselves in your brand. That’s the only way to get the big picture and proceed with wisdom. Bloated design committees usually boil down to small teams that do the work. We’re small. We do that work.

02–

Design

Design can be thought about in terms of overall strategy. It’s more than “look & feel” – it’s your mission, your market, your method… We take a deep dive into what you might already have in your toolbox. We don’t reinvent wheels here. We identify the roadmaps and ride shotgun.

03–

Create

We empower our clients with sustainable ways to accomplish their goals. We won’t necessarily reject proven tools in pursuit of the new & shiny but we’ve learned to be farsighted. Every project undergoes a deep scrubbing and each emerges delightfully unique. That’s true creativity.

WHAT WE'RE REALLY GOOD AT

  • No Nonsense

    First of all, we excel in telling you what we don’t do. For nearly two decades, we’ve created solutions that just make sense for our clients. We’ve also identified certain needs and, rather than try to tackle things outside of our expertise, we connect our clients with time tested professionals, that we know can get those things done. It’s a philosophy of quality that builds long, fruitful relationships.

  • Affinity Building

    We’re in good company, having partnered with several international and national brands. Our growth has led us to work with numerous premier travel companies, and nationally recognized food and beverage brands. Each of these unique programs relies upon a common notion of consistency. We take pride in devising the actions that will best support a client’s responsibility to its customers. We create containers for a product’s story and methods to deliver them effectively. Respectfully.

  • True Relationship

    It’s important to us that your website is easy for you to understand, operate and strategize with. Naturally, it has to pass muster with your users. We carefully build a website as a program which tells stories with clarity and elegance. This directly reflects our relationships with our clients. We see the work as a thorough, pleasant process that binds us together with mutual respect, often resulting in more fun than we’d anticipated! That’s a big reason why we do this.

  • Effective Tools

    There’s no single way to work out the means to your ends. In fact, you may not even have a problem, or at least we’d rather not use that terminology. You’ve come to us because you’re successful and would like a boost. We take a good, hard look at what you’ve been doing and step back to gauge the long view. Then, drawing on our experience, we deploy the specifics: from web marketing to email campaign management, from content management strategy to e-commerce. We discover sustainable, sensible strategies and with you as partners who want you to succeed just as much as you do.

Wesley Middaugh

Wesley Middaugh

Systems Engineer
Ley does his job so well most of our clients never get to meet him – which is too bad because he’s a really nice guy. Our servers and systems are secure and stable thanks to his daily efforts keeping up with software and hardware changes as well as maintaining website logs, email, and the all important backups.

(Ley is private and that’s not really a photo of him, but it’s pretty much how we picture him when he’s bending our servers to our will.)
