After 20+ years designing and building websites, I’ve learned that the real difference between projects that succeed and those that fail isn’t the budget - it’s the process.

I'm Stephen Meehan, and I work with in-house marketing teams to take the pain out of website redesigns—no bottlenecks, no scope creep, no frustrating miscommunication.

I started D3 Creative to prove that website redesigns can be straightforward, predictable, and even enjoyable when done properly.

Here’s the short version:

My story

Since starting D3 Creative back in 2005, I’ve lost count of the number of websites I’ve designed and built. Working with many teams of all sizes, I noticed a pattern: the bigger the company, the more essential process became.

I’ve worked with plenty of in-house marketing teams, and almost all have a horror story: offshore developers where communication broke down, agencies that promised the world and burned the budget, projects that dragged on endlessly—or collapsed completely.

I bring 20+ years of experience to every web redesign project.

That’s when I realised my value wasn’t just in designing and building websites - it was in creating a process that kept projects on track. I became the person marketing teams could trust to take a huge project off their plate and deliver it without the stress.

Why I work with in-house teams

Large organisations face challenges that most people never see. You need stakeholder buy-in. You need clear, transparent budgeting. And you can’t afford downtime or runaway scope creep.

After years of working with marketing teams at companies like L.B. Foster, I’ve shaped my approach around these challenges. I know what to ask, what to anticipate, and how to deliver results that make you look great in front of stakeholders.

Stephen's partnership, expertise, and commitment to understanding L.B. Foster's unique requirements were crucial to the successful redesign and build of our global website.

My approach

A website project should be the easiest part of your job—not the most stressful.

• Transparent pricing – set clear budgets with no mid‑project surprises.

• Direct communication – work with me directly for faster decisions and fewer delays.

• Proven processes – two decades of refinement keep projects running smoothly from start to finish.

• Design-to-development alignment – designs built to flex with real content and devices, avoiding hidden pitfalls that derail projects.

What drives me

I know how hard it is to get a major project approved. Budgets are tight. Stakeholders are watching. The pressure to deliver is real. My goal is to make sure a project not only succeeds but makes you look good in the process.

When a site launches on time, when you can show stakeholders exactly what they’re getting, when your team feels supported instead of stressed—that’s what drives me.

Results

I’ve helped marketing teams achieve results that matter:

• Dozens of successful projects delivered with zero budget overruns

• Every project launched on schedule using a proven approach

• Long‑term client relationships built on trust and reliability

My clients don’t just get websites. They get peace of mind, credibility, and the support they need to succeed—along with more time and resources to focus on what matters most.

Based in Stockport

D3 Creative is based at the Stockport Business & Innovation Centre, just a short train ride from Manchester city centre. Being here keeps overheads reasonable while staying connected to the wider business community.

I work with marketing teams across the UK and internationally, usually through virtual collaboration on Microsoft Teams, with weekly check-ins and clear documentation to keep everything on track.
