01Selected work
Louisville website design work. Real results.
Louisville and Kentucky businesses whose websites I design, build and keep running. Every one is live today.
Allied Plumbing: a Bardstown plumber’s website built around the call
Eight service pages, a real Elizabethtown page and a request form that changes its questions with the problem, so the first call starts with the details the owner needs. Built for an owner-run plumbing company an hour down the parkway. The owner’s review: “The whole process was straightforward and the finished website turned out great.”

Shaun built us a beautiful, responsive website that truly reflects our brand. He was fast, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, not just about design but also SEO, performance and functionality. The site looks amazing and performs even better.
We could not be happier with the website Shaun Wilson Designs created for our law firm. From the initial consultation to the final launch, Shaun demonstrated exceptional professionalism, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of what we needed.
Shaun has looked after our website for years. Every time we have needed something, a new page, a change to the store, a fix when a plugin misbehaved, he has handled it quickly and without drama. What I value most is that he knows our business and our site inside out, so we never have to explain ourselves twice. Reliable, honest and very good at what he does.

ExamplesDr. Stephanie Moore·Vendome Copper·Field of Screams
Repair and care plans- You own everything. Domain, site, content and every login, handed over in plain English.
- Scope in writing. What is included, what is not, and the timeline, agreed before work starts.
- Paid in stages. A deposit to start, the rest when the site goes live, and monthly care plans at different levels.
- One person to call. The person who built it answers the phone after launch.
03Why a studio, not a big agency
Big-agency polish. One person accountable.
Most agencies sell you a team you never meet. You get a salesperson, a project manager, and a rotating cast of contractors who have never seen your business.
Here you get one senior WordPress developer and designer in Louisville, Kentucky who has built, rescued and hosted WordPress sites since the platform was new. Every decision about your site is made by someone who will still be answering your email in five years.
Louisville is home, and most of the work is web design for Louisville businesses and their neighbours across the river in Southern Indiana. But the sites run everywhere, and so does the support.
04What I do
Website design, WordPress development and recovery, from one Louisville studio.
Whether you are starting from nothing, starting over, or starting from a white screen at 2 a.m.
Website design & WordPress development
A custom WordPress site designed around what your customers actually do, built to load fast and rank well from day one. No page-builder bloat, no template you have seen a hundred times.
- Custom design, not a theme
- Custom WordPress plugins when off-the-shelf will not do
- You own everything, no lock-in
Website redesign & rebuild
Modernize a site that has fallen behind without losing the rankings, links and content you spent years earning. I migrate carefully, redirect everything, and prove it afterwards.
- SEO preserved through the move
- Content and history carried over intact
- Faster, lighter, easier to update
WordPress recovery & repair
Hacked, crashed, white-screened or suddenly slow. I get the site back, find the cause, and close the door it came through. Sites someone else built are welcome.
- Hack and malware cleanup
- Crash, white-screen and update failures
- Speed rescue and hosting fixes
05Fast is a feature
Slow sites lose the sale before the page loads.
Every site I design or take over gets the same WordPress development treatment: modern PHP, server-side caching, a global edge network in front, and images that weigh what they should. I measure before and after, and I show you the numbers.
The result here is a real client site I moved this month. Same design, same content, nothing removed. The site I built, now on infrastructure I run.
06How it works
No mystery. No surprises.
The same five steps for every Louisville website design project, whether I am building new, rebuilding, or recovering a WordPress site from the dead.
Listen
What the site needs to do for the business, who uses it, and what is not working now.
Design
Structure and visuals built around your customers, reviewed with you before a line of code.
Build
Clean, custom WordPress. Fast by default, easy for you to update, yours to keep.
Launch
Migrated, redirected, secured and measured. I prove it works before I call it done.
07Also under one roof
Web first. Not web only.
The same studio that builds the site also shoots the photography, flies the drone and prints the prototypes. That is why the pictures on your pages are yours, not stock, and why a project never stalls waiting on a third party.
Commercial & product photography
Products, facilities, people and process, shot to fit the pages they will live on.
Photography
Aerial photography & construction progress
FAA Part 107 licensed. Real estate, mapping, monthly progress shoots and high-altitude work.
Aerial
Prototypes, props and products in plastic
From a digital sculpture to a physical piece, printed and finished in Louisville under the Cru Bear name.
