about us
Hi, my name is Kolten Craft. I’m an artist, musician, and self-proclaimed nerd who enjoys spending time with my wife, Amy, and our kids. I’m passionate about music, gongfu tea, social justice, spirituality, entrepreneurship, passive income, and everything Kansas City. I’m the founder and lead designer/developer at Web Design Kansas City. I’ve been building custom websites full-time since 2013 and officially launched Web Design Kansas City in 2021. As a proud Kansas City native, I’m dedicated to helping local businesses thrive online by crafting websites that highlight their unique character and quality. My approach is transparent, straightforward, and collaborative. I offer clear pricing packages so you can budget confidently. We’ll start with a friendly brainstorming session via Zoom or at a local Kansas City coffee shop, where I’ll ask questions, explore competitor websites, and outline your site’s goals. Next, I’ll design a detailed, non-functional mockup of your website for your approval—this way, we can perfect the visuals before diving into code. Once you’re satisfied with the design, I’ll build your fully functional website. After your final review and payment, your site goes live. Additionally, I’ll provide you with pre-recorded training videos, empowering you to confidently make updates and changes to your website yourself. To reserve your spot, a first payment is collected upfront.
questions & answers
Absolutely. Over half of your visitors will discover you on their phones—so we prioritize mobile responsiveness in every project. Web Design Kansas City builds websites that look and function beautifully across all screen sizes, from smartphones to desktops, giving your visitors a seamless experience no matter how they find you.
We believe authenticity is your greatest asset. That’s why Web Design Kansas City creates websites that reflect the real you. Our design process is both strategic and artistic—balancing visual beauty, clear messaging, and user engagement to help you stand out in a crowded digital world.
At Web Design Kansas City, we use WordPress—the most popular content management system in the world—because it gives our clients the flexibility and scalability they need to grow. Whether you’re just getting started or preparing to scale, a custom WordPress website sets you up for long-term success with user-friendly tools and endless design possibilities.
We sure do. Whether you’re selling a few products or launching a full-scale online store, we build e-commerce sites that are fast, secure, and user-friendly. We work with platforms like WooCommerce to give you flexibility and control over your shop.
Unlike many front-end designers who rely heavily on plugins, we come from a background in hand-coding websites. This means we can tackle custom and complex features while keeping your site lightweight, clean, and fast—just the way Google likes it. Web Design Kansas City blends creative design with technical precision for high-performing websites.
WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (CMS), powering over 40% of all websites on the internet. It’s a flexible, scalable platform that allows you to easily update your content, add new features, and grow your online presence over time. At Web Design Kansas City, we use WordPress because it gives our clients the perfect balance of control and creativity. Whether you’re building a simple brochure site or something more complex, WordPress sets you up for success from day one.
Absolutely. One of the reasons we use WordPress is because it’s user-friendly—even for non-tech folks. We make sure your site is easy to manage, and we’re always happy to show you how to update your content, images, and more. You’ll have full control, without needing to write a single line of code.
A template site uses a pre-designed layout that’s quick and budget-friendly but can look generic. A custom site, like the ones we build at WebDesignKC, is designed from scratch with your brand, goals, and users in mind. It’s the difference between wearing off-the-rack and having something tailored just for you.
Yes! Every website we build is optimized for SEO from the ground up. That means clean code, fast load times, proper structure, and tools that help search engines find and love your site. We also offer advanced SEO services if you want to go even further.
Definitely. Slow websites lose visitors and rankings. We’ll run diagnostics to see what’s slowing your site down and then optimize it—cleaning up code, reducing unnecessary plugins, and fine-tuning performance to get things running smoothly.
Yes, we do! If you need a logo or custom graphics to complete your brand identity, we’ve got you covered. We believe design is more than just looks—it’s how people feel when they interact with your brand. We’ll make sure it feels just right.
Absolutely. If writing isn’t your thing (or you just don’t have time), we’ll craft clear, compelling content that fits your brand voice and resonates with your audience. We combine storytelling and strategy to make your message stand out.
We keep it simple, personal, and collaborative. First, we learn about you—your business, goals, and audience. Then we design and build your custom WordPress website, keeping you in the loop every step of the way. After launch, we’re still here to support you. No surprises. No tech talk overload. Just a smooth process and a beautiful result.
We don’t require you to host with us, but we do offer reliable hosting packages for clients who want an all-in-one solution. If you already have hosting, that’s totally fine too—we’ll work with whatever setup you prefer.
We’re here for you! Whether it’s a quick update, a new feature, or a full refresh down the line, we offer ongoing support. We can work on a retainer or hourly basis—whatever fits your needs best.
Yes. 100%. Once your project is complete and paid for, you own your website. We believe in empowering our clients, not locking them in. You’ll have access to everything: files, hosting, content, and admin controls.
That depends on your needs. If you want ongoing hosting ($220/year), maintenance, or SEO support, we offer packages to keep things running smoothly. But there are no surprise fees—just transparent options to help you grow.
