Duncan, founder of Digital Marbles Co., holding blue glass marbles

Hi, I'm Duncan — founder of Digital Marbles Co.

I started Digital Marbles Co. on a simple belief: local Shropshire businesses deserve the same quality of website and marketing as the big national players — without the eye-watering agency price tag.

Since then I've helped 50+ businesses across Shrewsbury, Telford, Oswestry, Ludlow and beyond get online properly — replacing tired, slow websites with modern ones that actually bring in enquiries and sales.

No call centres, no account managers you never meet, no jargon. Just one local person who genuinely understands design, Shopify, WordPress and the latest AI tools — and who picks up the phone when you call.

A proven track record

I also founded Planet Doughnut — a nationwide doughnut brand and successful retail & franchise chain making over 10,000 doughnuts a day. I created the original website and grew our social media from day one, from zero to 100,000+ followers across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X and TikTok. I know exactly what it takes to build a brand online — because I've done it myself.

What we stand for

The values behind every project we take on.

Local & personal

You deal directly with me, not a faceless team. I know Shropshire, I know local customers, and I'm just down the road in Shrewsbury.

Transparent pricing

Clear, fixed prices with no hidden extras. You'll always know exactly what you're paying and precisely what you're getting.

Built to convert

Pretty isn't enough. Every site is engineered to load fast, rank on Google and turn visitors into paying customers.

Future-ready with AI

I bring the same AI tools the big firms use — automating admin, content and customer service so you can focus on the work you love.
