Big-agency polish. One person accountable.
Every site is designed and built here in Louisville by the same person who will host it, update it and pick up the phone afterwards. AI-enhanced workflows keep the timeline tight; the taste and the accountability stay human. The same hands build a plumbing company’s service pages and a custom platform with its own plugins.

Three Louisville businesses, and what their websites do now.
Every site below is live today for a Louisville business: a cardiologist, a 160-year-old cutlery store and a distillery, each built to do a specific job, and doing it. There are more in the full portfolio, including a still maker, a flight school and a haunted attraction.
A Louisville cardiologist’s site, rebuilt after a hack.
Dr. Stephanie Moore is a transplant cardiologist, educator and speaker. Her previous site was compromised, so this one was rebuilt from the identity up: a serif name treatment in navy, cream and gold, seven pages with clear jobs, a professional biography, CV and media kit as real PDFs, and direct routes for media, speaking and consulting. Launched September 17, 2026, with the redirects and 410s that clear a hacked name out of Google.
A 160-year-old Louisville store, still being improved.
Heimerdinger has sold and sharpened knives on Shelbyville Road since 1861. I built the store that carries about a thousand products online, and 2026 was its next chapter: category templates that explain a range before they list it, a product gallery with a click-to-inspect view, a custom cart drawer that reads the live free-shipping threshold, and a proper page for the sharpening service.
A distillery’s front door, twelve years and counting.
Kentucky Peerless in downtown Louisville has not had one website from me, it has had a dozen years of them: tour and tasting bookings, a whiskey mega menu, register-to-store inventory sync and the front-desk software their staff run every day.
That is what a local relationship looks like: the site keeps evolving, and the person who built it is twenty minutes away.

Louisville-built. Louisville-hosted.
Designed here, hosted on my own dedicated server, and looked after by the person who built it. No ticket queues, no offshore hand-offs, no mystery about who to call.
Four steps from first call to first lead.
Listen
A real conversation about what the business needs the website to do, who it is for, and what has not worked before.
Design
A modern, on-brand look built around your customers, reviewed with you before anything is built.
Build
Clean, fast, secure WordPress on my own server, with AI-enhanced workflows keeping the timeline tight.
Launch & Care
Search setup, analytics and a launch checklist, then hosting and updates from the person who built it.
What Louisville businesses ask before they hire a web design company.
The questions that come up on the first call, answered before you make it.
How much does a website cost in Louisville?
Scoped flat after a conversation about what the site has to do, so you have a clear number before any work starts. A small business site, an online store and a custom build are priced very differently, and I will tell you which one you actually need.
Do you only work with Louisville businesses?
Most clients are in Louisville, Southern Indiana and across Kentucky, because meeting in person matters for a new build. But the site does not care where you are, and I work with businesses anywhere.
How long does a new website take?
Scope sets the schedule. A straightforward business site is weeks, not months; a store or a custom build gets its own timeline. You get a date up front and a private staging link the whole way through.
Will people find it on Google?
It is built to be found: clean structure, fast pages, proper titles and schema, and search setup at launch. Ranking for competitive Louisville terms takes time and links, and I am honest about that rather than promising page one.
Can I update it myself?
Yes. It is built in the WordPress editor with native blocks, not a page builder that locks you in, and you get a walkthrough at handover.
Who hosts it, and who do I call?
I host it on my own dedicated server behind Cloudflare, and you call the person who built it. Hosting, updates and support are one relationship, not three.

Tell me what you do and who you need to reach, and get a straight answer on what the right website takes, from the person who will build it.
