About

The Design Core

The Design Core is a web design & development studio located in the beautiful hill country of Austin, TX. We specialize in creating engaging & effective websites while focusing on quality & customer service. We keep our clients happy & develop long term relationships by practicing open communication, partnership & collaborative expertise.

We are detail oriented, good listeners & are quick to respond to our client's needs. Planning, communication & hard work make up the foundation of everything we do.

We collaborate with other independent designers, programmers & professionals which allows us to use the perfect talent for each job. This results in the best, most cost-effective solutions for our clients without the excessive overhead costs & convoluted processes common among large agencies.

In addition to servicing our own clientele, we also work with other design/development companies, studios & agencies, acting as an outsourced collaborative partner.

Danny Handler

Owner/Operator

A University of North Texas School of Music graduate turned web designer/developer, Danny brings a distinct combination of creativity and logic to every client engagement. With over 18 years of experience in interactive media, Danny has built a company around the simple truth that having an engaging and effective website is critical to any company's success.

Difference

How We Stand Apart From The Rest

We are small & like it that way. It gives us the opportunity to know our clients better & serve you with a more personal touch. Plus, it minimizes project management time so we can spend more time actually working on your project.

Mission

To Sum It All Up

Deliver great looking, effective websites, & deliver them on time & within budget. We listen to our client's needs & exceed their expectations.

"Working with The Design Core has, by far, been one of the best decisions we've made. By strategically working with The Design Core over a period of several years, we've been able to create a reputation for being the place where artists go for the very best design work anywhere. Working with Danny is always a pleasure and the quality and innovation he delivers impress us every single time. In a world dominated by boring cookie cutter systems like Wordpress Themes and Bootstrap designs, having a innovative, bespoke Design Core design is a breath of fresh air and will help you stand out from your competitors."

Clint Watson

CEO at BoldBrush

"Working with Danny at The Design Core has been a fantastic experience. What sets The Design Core apart is the level of service Danny has provided even after the site was up and running. If I wanted small changes or needed help remembering how to do something on the site, he responded very quickly and addressed my needs. I can't recommend The Design Core, and Danny, highly enough."

Elijah Hawken

Owner at Light the Phoenix

"We cannot express our appreciation enough to The Design Core for the impeccable work building and updating our websites. Danny is very thorough and always surprises us with his speed of completion. He understands exactly what we are asking for and is very responsive to any changes we throw his direction. We have worked with Design Core for several years and will continue to do so."

Jenna Sampson

Sanborn's Travel Service

"Working with Danny at The Design Core was a breath of fresh air. He was a true collaborative partner who took our ideas and needs and turned them into a website that was far better than what we imagined. We appreciated the value he brought to our project — always providing fresh ideas and invaluable feedback, and never just being an order taker. He was a true extension of our team."

Jennifer Watson

Marketing Director at OpenSymmetry

"I want to thank The Design Core for creating not one but two absolutely stunning websites for my business. Because of their creativity and vision my companies stand out head and shoulders above all others in my field. This business is all about crafting magical vacations, and The Design Core has taken that a step further by enabling my website to deliver a preview of the kind of magic we promise to deliver for our clients."

Cara Goldsbury

Owner at Glass Slipper Concierge

"The Design Core has far exceeded my expectations with my site, and I still receive nothing but praise on it. For a show like 'Cirque du Horror,' I needed a web designer with a very creative mind to build my site, and have been very pleased with the Design Core's result. On top of all this, Danny has shown top notch professionalism and has been very easy to work with every step of the way. Simply put, I asked, and The Design Core delivered."

David Pierce

Composer/Musician at Cirque du Horror

"We have experience with several web design companies, and The Design Core is simply the best we've worked with. Hands down. With the perfect combination of aesthetic and technical expertise, they never fail to bring our ideas to life. In the creative business, you either have it or you don't - and The Design Core has it."

Jon Slott

Executive Producer at BREED

"I needed a website built exactly the way I imagined and Danny from The Design Core managed to incorporate all of my ideas into a website that looks great and functions flawlessly. The Design Core was really on top of the game with their well-organized design & development process and by offering useful implementations such as content management solutions and mobile-friendly website versions. It was not surprising that many of the compliments that I received on my website were from other web designers..."

Cliff Lin

Composer/Producer

"The Design Core has been and continues to be one of our most trusted resources. Their creativity, attention to detail, and dedication to their craft is unmatched."
