Welcome to the Direwolf's Den
Who we are, what we do and what we've got planned for the future
Welcome to the Direwolf's Den
So, 2020 was a gigantic shitfest... we think it's time to regroup and make a push for bigger & better things in 2021!
For those of you just meeting us for the first time, hi there! We're Direwolf Design. We've been kicking around for the past few years working on websites, software and digital media in the tech industry.
Like most small businesses, 2020 was an extremely tough year for us. We saw most of our long-term development clients either shut up shop or trim down staff to keep afloat and unfortunately, with us being contract developers, we were one of the first to be cut from most contracts.
As the year went on, more and more businesses started realising that putting money into their businesses wasn't the most practical idea until we see things starting to settle down.
With brighter prospects on the horizon for most of the world (yeah, the UK's still managing to balls things up pretty royally, we know), it's time to look ahead to what we've got planned for the new year and beyond.
New Directions
Like we said, our primary focus for the past 5 or so years has been on web development and software. Our graphic design jobs were usually side gigs or one-offs for specific projects.
Over the past couple of years, we started working with a few streamers and content creators to help develop their brands and give their channels a bit more unique identity, and we plan to carry that on into 2021 alongside our new project, the Direwolf Design Content Hub (this website!)
This project is designed to enable streamers of all sizes to set up professional looking streams at an affordable price. We'll be supplying ready-to-go Stream Packs, Overlays, Twitch Panels and graphics inspired by the top games on Twitch and input from our fans.
Our Plans for 2021, and Beyond
Stream Packs
Our main focus this year will be building up our library of premade Stream Packs. These will be fully designed, ready to go packs that can be bought, downloaded and installed in a matter of minutes.
Initially, we'll be starting with sets of static designs, with plans to provide animated versions later in the year after our initial product launches are complete.
Our first Stream Pack WARZONE is available for purchase now!
Creator Affiliate Program
As streamers ourselves, we understand the importance of building a community around what we do. With that in mind, one of the first things we want to get up and running is our Creator Affiliate Program.
This program offers extremely competitive commission rates, promotion opportunities and more for our affiliate team.
We're launching the first round of the Creator Affiliate Program today and we'll be announcing more opportunities for streamers and content creators later in the year.

Direwolf Merch Design Store
Later in 2021 (date TBD), we're planning on rolling out our Merch Design Store. This will feature a catalog of downloadable designs you can customise and resell through your own Merch store (you can even add your own branding on top of our designs!)
These will be commission-free designs, meaining you purchase a licence to resell the design when you buy the design files from us.
We still have a lot to set up to get that off the ground (including writing boring licensing documentation to make sure you're covered to resell the designs on your merch!)
We'll be posting an update about Merch Designs in our Gumroad Newsletter when it's available, so make sure to Register for Updates
That's it for our first update! Thanks for stopping by to check us out! We'll be posting here regularly as new products and services are launched, but make sure to follow us on Gumroad and Twitter too if you want to get the latest updates from us before anyone else!
