Our Story: Built on Real Business Experience

Founded by Charlie Daniels, Digital Design Consultant

CMD Design was born from a simple frustration: small businesses were either stuck with cheap, template-based solutions that looked amateur, or they had to work with large agencies that treated them like account numbers rather than people.

As a graduate of The Art Institutes with over 15 years in digital design and development, founder Charlie Daniels recognized that growing businesses needed something different – enterprise-quality work delivered with boutique-level personal service.

From Concept to Comprehensive Partner

What started as a web design studio has evolved into a complete digital technology partner. We’ve grown by solving real problems for real businesses:

  • The restaurant owner who needed not just a website, but online ordering, social media graphics, and menu design
  • The consultant who required a professional site, business cards, email setup, and ongoing technical support
  • The retailer launching online who needed e-commerce development, product photography, and digital marketing strategy

Each client taught us that success comes from understanding the whole business, not just the website project.

Our Philosophy: Partnership Over Projects

Why We Stay Small by Choice

We could easily scale to 50+ projects at once, like most agencies. Instead, we maintain a deliberately small client roster because we believe:

Quality Requires Focus
 When you’re our client, you get direct access to senior-level expertise on every aspect of your project. No junior developers learning on your dime. No account managers are playing telephone between you and the people doing the work.

Relationships Drive Results
 We take time to understand your business goals, competitive landscape, and growth plans. This deep knowledge allows us to make strategic recommendations that generic agencies simply can’t match.

Availability Matters
 When you call or email, you reach us directly. No support tickets disappearing into the void. No waiting weeks for simple updates. Your success depends on responsive support, and that’s exactly what we provide.

Our “One Team, Complete Solutions” Approach

Rather than forcing you to coordinate between multiple vendors, we handle everything under one roof:

  • Strategic Planning: Understanding your goals and creating digital roadmaps
  • Custom Development: Building websites that work perfectly for your specific needs
  • Visual Design: Creating cohesive brands across all touchpoints
  • Content Creation: From copywriting to video production
  • Ongoing Support: Security, updates, hosting, and strategic consultations

What’s the benefit to you? Seamless integration, consistent quality, and one point of accountability for all your digital needs.
