I&#8217;ve spent the better part of my life creating amazing websites for small, medium and large businesses. From starting my own design studio to creating a platform for others to build websites on, I&#8217;ve been through the process so many times I&#8217;ve lost count. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love the process, in fact, creating intelligent and efficient processes is kind of my jam.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/davespicer.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/749\/2019\/11\/Dave-Spicer-1.jpg\" alt=\"Dave-Spicer-1\" itemprop=\"image\"  \/>\n\t\t<h1>\n\t\t\tStackd Design\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWeb design and development\n\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t\t<p>Stackd Design is where it all began for me. Before this, I&#8217;d built a few websites for other business ideas I&#8217;d been working on and discovered that it was actually something I could do. So, like any budding entrepreneur, I jumped in whole-heartedly, absorbing all the information I could find. Over time, I expanded from just myself into a small agency with a core team of half a dozen developers and designers as I grew the business to meet demand.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/davespicer.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/749\/bb-plugin\/cache\/CleanShot-2019-11-02-at-10.59.10@2x-square.png\" alt=\"CleanShot 2019-11-02 at 10.59.10@2x\" title=\"CleanShot 2019-11-02 at 10.59.10@2x\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/davespicer.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/749\/bb-plugin\/cache\/CleanShot-2019-11-02-at-10.59.28@2x-square.png\" alt=\"CleanShot 2019-11-02 at 10.59.28@2x\" title=\"CleanShot 2019-11-02 at 10.59.28@2x\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t<iframe allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/362457395?autoplay=1&amp;color&amp;autopause=0&amp;loop=1&amp;muted=1&amp;title=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;byline=0#t=\"><\/iframe>\t\n\t\t<h1>\n\t\t\tStacked Site\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe first multi-site network\n\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t\t<p>It was only after many years of web design that I began to venture into the world of WordPress Multi-sites. I&#8217;d been looking up how big corporations, such as the BBC, handle the plethora of site under their banner. This led me to creating my first multi-site network, a platform similar to Squarespace or Wix that other developers and business owners could use to build and manage their own sites. The big breakthrough came with the ability to manage all the backups, updates and security from one central location, keeping our team streamlined.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/davespicer.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/749\/2019\/11\/stackedsite.jpg\" alt=\"Brisbane Based Web Designer | Experienced in Multi Sites | Dave Spicer\" title=\"Brisbane Based Web Designer | Experienced in Multi Sites | Dave Spicer\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/davespicer.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/749\/2019\/11\/66158649_684848238643288_8945054711510204416_n.png\" alt=\"Brisbane Based Web Designer | Experienced in Multi Sites | Dave Spicer\" title=\"Brisbane Based Web Designer | Experienced in Multi Sites | Dave Spicer\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\tSome of my past clients\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<p>These are just a sample of clients I have worked with.
