Professional Websites,
Built for UK Business
We deliver agency-quality websites at a fraction of the cost — each with a personal AI assistant that keeps it running itself. Based in North Wales, serving businesses across the UK.
From frustration to solution
Daedalus Design was born from a simple observation: small businesses were getting a raw deal on the web.
The Problem
Small businesses were paying agencies thousands for websites that took months to deliver, were impossible to update, and locked them into expensive retainers. Meanwhile, DIY builders produced sites that looked cheap and performed worse. There had to be a better way.
The Insight
AI could handle the repetitive work — content formatting, image optimisation, performance monitoring, routine updates — while human developers focused on what actually matters: crafting beautiful, high-performing websites that bring in business. Not replacing people, but amplifying them.
The Build
We chose static HTML over WordPress, Magento over page builders, and standard code over proprietary platforms. Every site we build is fast, secure, and owned by the client — not held hostage on someone else's platform. We built DaeOne, our AI dashboard, to give clients full visibility and control.
Today
Daedalus Design serves businesses across the UK from our base in North Wales. We maintain 99.9% uptime, and every client gets a personal AI assistant that keeps their site fresh. No phone calls, no meetings — just results.

Based in North Wales, serving businesses across the UK. Your data stays in the UK, your support team speaks your language, and we understand your market.
Lightning-Fast Hosting
UK servers, global CDN, HTTP/3, and static HTML combine for sub-second load times. Faster sites rank higher and convert more visitors into customers.
No Lock-In Ownership
You own your code, your domain, and your data. No proprietary platforms, no annual licences, no held-hostage feeling. Move anywhere, anytime.
Professional results, without the agency price tag
Traditional web agencies charge thousands for sites that take months to deliver, then lock you into expensive retainers for basic updates. We take a different approach.
AI handles the repetitive work — content formatting, image optimisation, performance monitoring, routine updates — so our human developers focus on what matters: crafting beautiful, high-performing websites that actually bring in business.
Every site we deliver is hand-crafted, not template-dumped. We take the time to understand your business, your customers, and your goals — then build something that works. The result is agency-quality work at a price that makes sense for small businesses.
What our clients experience
We measure success by the outcomes that matter to your business.
Clients switching from WordPress or page builders consistently see load times drop from 4-6 seconds to under 1 second.
No more plugin updates, security patches, or broken themes. Static HTML means your site just works — month after month.
Need a change? Your AI assistant typically handles content updates, image swaps, and minor tweaks within 2 hours.
Every client owns their code, their domain, and their data. Zero proprietary lock-in. Move anywhere, anytime.
Built on principles, not just code
Every decision we make is guided by these commitments to our clients and their visitors.
UK GDPR Compliant
Every site includes a privacy policy, cookie consent banner, and data handling procedures that meet UK GDPR and PECR requirements. We take data protection seriously — it's baked into every build, not bolted on after.
Accessibility First
We build to WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Semantic HTML, proper colour contrast, keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and skip links — because your website should work for everyone, not just some people.
Green Hosting
Static HTML uses minimal server resources. Our UK data centres are committed to renewable energy, and our lightweight code means less energy per page view. Fast sites aren't just good for business — they're better for the planet.
Security by Default
No databases to breach, no admin panels to brute-force, no plugin vulnerabilities to exploit. Static HTML is inherently more secure than dynamic platforms. We add SSL, security headers, and regular audits on top.
Performance Monitoring
We don't just build your site and walk away. Your AI assistant monitors uptime, page speed, and Core Web Vitals — flagging issues before they affect your visitors or your search rankings.
Fair Pricing
Our prices are published on our website. No hourly rates, no scope creep, no surprise invoices. You know exactly what you're paying before we start — and exactly what you're getting.

What is the AI assistant and how does it help?
Every Daedalus Design website comes with a personal AI assistant. Just send a message when you need changes — content updates, new pages, or fresh images. Your assistant handles the rest. No technical knowledge required.

No long-term contracts. Website builds are one-off projects. Hosting is monthly or yearly (cancel anytime with 14 days notice). There are no proprietary platforms — you own your website code and can move it anywhere.
Can I move my website to another provider?
Absolutely. Every Daedalus Design website is built with standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript. There are no proprietary frameworks or platforms. You own your code outright and can host it anywhere — we'll even help with the migration.

Yes — we serve businesses across the entire UK. Everything is handled remotely via email, chat and our DaeOne dashboard. No in-person meetings needed. We've built sites for companies from Cornwall to Scotland.
What happens if I need changes after my site goes live?
Your AI assistant is included with your hosting plan. Just send a message — whether it's updating text, swapping images, adding a new page, or fixing something. Most changes are done within hours, not days.
