Hey, I'm Dan 👋
I'm based in Surrey in the UK. I'm trying to build things on the internet. See below some of the things I'm working on at the moment.
What I'm currently working on
May 2025: At the moment, I'm trying to figure out what's next. After 10+ years of working on HelloMusicTheory and growing it to over 1,000,000 visits a month, Google wiped it out with its "Helpful Content" updates. Now, I'm figuring out what's next.
Hello Music Theory (2014-Present)
I'm still working on HelloMusicTheory.com, as with all the resources I've made and guides I've written, it's still got potential. Taking a little break from it at the moment, though. I'm currently trying to figure out how Facebook plays into it and also making YouTube video quizzes.
Craft Owl (2024-Present)
After hearing Cody Schneider talk about the idea of selling SVGs to crafters, I started a little Etsy store. It's been slow, but this year (Jan 2025), I finally got the website finished, too - CraftOwl.com. Here, you can get a monthly subscription to access all the images. It's been fun so far.
FontPairingGenerator.com
I've been really enjoying playing around with some of the AI coding tools like Cursor, Replit, and V0. I used replit to build this little tool to suggest different font pairings. It's come in handy for the Carrd Templates I've been making.
Other Random Projects
Like most people, my domain registrar is littered with a lot of domains for ideas of business I want to start. Here are a few of the ones I at least got live. Some of these I built, others I bought.
A little directory of different Carrd.co templates that I'm putting together. it's also a place I can showcase my own templates that I'm building.
Templates For Carrd - I love the simplicity of Carrd.co. I've mostly used WordPress and so the ease of spinning up a quick site with Carrd has been great. If you need a simple website done quickly, then check out some of my templates here.
ClickTrackGenerator - A simple little app I built with Replit to help people make and download click tracks.
Previous Projects
Here's a few things I'm no longer working on.
BlankCanvasEntertainment (2014-2016) - After working as a musician and magician after graduating, I had a lot of event contacts, so I started an event entertainment agency with a friend. It was good fun but too admin-heavy for me so I sold my stake in 2016
PingPongRuler (2019-2021) After discovering affiliate marketing and learning SEO, I bought this site on Reddit to be my project to learn at test with. I redesigned it, rewrote all the content and then sold it 18 months later for a nice little profit.
