Shaun Wilson: You have a problem. I build what solves it.
Louisville native with broadcast TV roots, building websites for Kentucky businesses since 2000. I design and build the site, shoot the photos and video, and fly the drone, so every piece fits the next.

Websites I have built for Kentucky businesses
Hire one person who can carry the whole project
Most projects need a website, photography, video, and someone who can make them work together. I have spent 25 years doing all four. When you call, you get the person who does the work. For owners who want that across every system they run, I also work as a fractional CTO.
That is the thinking behind every website, store and custom plugin that leaves this desk.
Six chapters, one standard.
Broadcast television roots
I started behind the camera on Steel Dreams, a nationally syndicated motorsports TV show, shooting, editing, and producing coast-to-coast coverage.
Websites since 2000
I have built, hosted, and maintained WordPress sites for Louisville businesses for more than two decades.
Video production
From broadcast productions to brand films and monthly construction updates, video has been part of my toolkit from day one.
In the air since 2014
Through Aerial Photography Louisville, I fly drones and helicopters across Kentucky and Southern Indiana. FAA Part 107 licensed and insured.
The brand side of the desk
I have handled creative marketing for Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co. since 2014, so I run brand, web, and marketing from the client side too.
Always building something
Cru Bear, my 3D printing studio, turns engineering CAD into trade-show displays and products. The curiosity never stopped.

Shaun Wilson Designs at a glance.
The business
Shaun Wilson Designs is a web design and WordPress development studio in Louisville, Kentucky. It was founded in 2000. It is one person: Shaun Wilson designs, builds, hosts and supports the sites himself. The legal name is Shaun Wilson Designs, LLC.
The person
Shaun Wilson is a Louisville native and a Ballard graduate. He has worked professionally since 1999, starting in broadcast television on Steel Dreams, a nationally syndicated motorsports show. He has also handled creative marketing for Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co. since 2014.
The websites
Shaun Wilson Designs has built websites since 2000 and WordPress sites since 2005. The sites are custom WordPress, with WooCommerce for online stores and custom plugins where nothing off the shelf fits. Most client sites are hosted on the studio’s own dedicated server behind Cloudflare. I also share practical WordPress fixes and code examples on GitHub.
The services
Website design and redesign, WooCommerce stores, custom WordPress plugins and software integrations, WordPress repair and maintenance, SEO, Google Ads management, AI consulting, and photography and video for websites.

BEHIND THE LENS
The work behind the work
Distillery floors, helicopter doors off, studio tables, and job sites across Kentucky - every image on this site was shot, edited, or built by me.
HOW WORKING TOGETHER GOES
One person, start to finish
The whole pitch here is that the person you talk to is the person doing the work. If you are weighing that against an agency, I compared freelancer, agency and DIY options honestly. That changes some practical things worth knowing before you start.
You get one number
No account manager relaying notes. The person who built it is the person who answers when something needs changing.
Nothing is subcontracted out
Design, build, photography, video, and the drone work all happen here, with my own cameras, drones, lighting, audio and code. That is why the pieces match each other.
Small enough to care
A handful of clients at a time rather than a queue. It is also why the calendar sometimes has a wait on it.
Straight answers on scope
If something you are asking for is not worth what it costs, you will hear that instead of a quote for it.
Still here afterwards
Most of these sites have been maintained here for years. Launch day is the start of the relationship, not the end.
Louisville based
Ballard grad and Louisville native. Local enough to walk your site, meet in person, and understand the market you are actually selling into.
