How we work

Built with you,
step by step.

You work directly with me throughout. We start by understanding your day-to-day process, then agree what the system needs to do before it goes live.

01

Talk through your setup

We map out your current process, the rules your team follows and the parts you want to make easier.

02

Configure and build

I adapt the working system to your branding, customer journey and business policies.

03

Test and launch

We check the important journeys together, prepare your team and launch when the system is ready.

A direct line to the person building it

Small business tech, with someone you can actually speak to.

I’m Daniel Sutton, founder of DS Digital Solutions. I work directly with each business to understand what needs fixing, build around the way the team already works and provide one-to-one support along the way.

The aim is straightforward: make the useful parts of technology work for your business, without asking you to fit your business around a generic system.
