Daymuse Studios

Daymuse Studios works out of Richmond, VA, building websites for small businesses, higher education institutions, enterprise organizations, and government clients. Over 16 years the studio has completed hundreds of projects for 28 clients, with its core business centered on implementing and customizing open source content management systems rather than building from scratch each time.

Most projects run on Drupal, WordPress, or MediaWiki, with backend work grounded in the Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP stack. Design and development follow a phased structure: Discovery, Proposal, Implementation, and Quality Assurance & Testing, ending in Project Launch. Daymuse describes the process as highly interactive and iterative, with clients involved through each phase rather than only at the start and end. Service offerings include frontend and backend development, website design, UX research, wireframing, and accessibility design.

Once a site launches, Daymuse offers ongoing support either under a retainer or billed hourly, covering maintenance needs that come up after go-live. Hosting has moved entirely to Amazon-based Cloud infrastructure, replacing whatever setup preceded it. The combination of CMS specialization, a defined project phasing model, and post-launch support arrangements reflects an operation built around long-running client relationships rather than one-off builds, consistent with a client base that spans small business, education, enterprise, and government sectors.
