Joseph Smith has been a hybrid developer and web designer for about ten years. He started getting into website development after he finished his school in New England. Now, he runs an agency and uses Dorik to build websites for small to medium local businesses. Joseph has been using Dorik for the last 1.5 years and has 12 active business websites. 

Why Dorik?

Before using Dorik, Joseph started creating sites with other builders, the big Ws (WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Weebly, etc.). But their pricing was high. It became impossible for him to deliver high-quality websites at a very affordable price. That’s why he was looking for an alternative. 

Fortunately, he found Dorik, the cheapest website builder in the market. 

There are a few big ones, the big Ws. I started with those, but one of the really important aspects of trying to maintain a healthy agency and keep longevity with clients is to keep costs down.

He continued,

So, I started out to looking more into something to fit the static site generator paradigm that I needed for a few customers. And then I think I found Dork in just a regular Google query one day, and I was just checking it out. I was like, man, this looks really amazing. And the rest is history because here I am 25 projects (passion & business) in at least by this point.

Besides, as a freelancer, Joseph’s primary motto was creating websites for his clients in the shortest time. Dorik fulfills this demand. 

One of the reasons I stumbled upon Dork is because I was looking for the fastest way or most efficient way to quickly get really amazing results fast so that I can get onto the next project.

What is His Favorite Feature in Dorik?

Airtable integration is Joseph’s one of the favorite features in Dorik. He also loves the free SSL certificate option. 

What got me on board first, there’s the kind of bread and butter features,  like the automatic SSL, that’s the more technical stuff. But what had me really interested in the beginning is the Airtable integration.

Joseph

He continued,

Because I had included Airtable in my stack about two years prior, and I’ve been using it really extensively to try to consolidate a lot of, off kind of untraditional use cases. I have a couple of sites that I’d love to share in my portfolio that highlight how I’ve been using Airtable, and that have been possible because of the Dork integration.

How Did Dorik Help Him to Achieve His Goal? 

Dorik opens a new business horizon for Joseph. He utilizes the built-in templates to create websites super fast. Can you imagine how quickly he has built and launched his website named Gulp Guru?

Yes! It took only 3 days! Isn’t it unbelievable? 

Joseph mentions,

This Gulp Guru, I can’t even tell you how fast I was able to get prototype built and launched. Really, it was just a matter of filling in the content. It took around three days.”

Joseph

He continued,

So I’ve been able to do some really incredible work with it. Specifically, yeah, those templates, your design team is on point. I am just really happy with just the entire, I wouldn’t call it starter set, but the website templates that you have are such a convenient starting point that it’s been my go-to tool for prototyping from start to finish for a project.

Joseph also managed to increase his revenue using Dorik. 

Dorik improved my margins by 22%, but the best value is the time I save building with integrations I use everyday.

Joseph

He continued,

It’s helped me pass along to them while allowing them to have a really robust website that’s feature-rich comparatively to what the competition offers. So, in terms of margins, I’d say if I had taken myself anywhere else, I probably wouldn’t do this much longer.

Joseph

So, the result was amazing for Joseph after using Dorik.
