WordPress websites for Brookside shops, studios, and service businesses, built around the questions your customers need answered.

Help a neighbor become a customer

Someone who hears about your business from a friend still needs a place to check what you offer, see your work, and decide how to get in touch. We design websites that make those next steps clear while giving your business its own visual identity.

For a Brookside storefront, that might mean easy-to-find hours, directions, and product or service information. For an appointment-based business, it might mean explaining what to expect before someone books. We start with your actual customer journey and choose the pages and features that support it.

What we would work through with you

Your first-time visitor: What do they need to know before visiting, booking, or asking for a quote?
Your everyday updates: Who will change hours, services, photos, or seasonal information after launch?
Your next step: Should a visitor call, complete an inquiry form, or continue to an existing booking system?
Your visual identity: Which colors, type, images, and details already feel like your business, and what needs developing?

Project example: a brand and a connected rental website

For Park House on Main in Parkville, we created the logo, colors, typography, and website. The build started with our theme package and included substantial custom work. We also connected third-party rental software so property listings are pulled into the website through an API instead of entered individually.

That project shows how branding and a practical business function can work together. A Brookside shop or service business will have different requirements; we use your brief to decide what belongs on your site. Read the Park House case study.

Choose the right amount of WordPress development

Some projects fit a theme-package foundation with tailored design. Others call for a fully custom build. We work with WordPress themes, Gutenberg blocks, Gravity Forms, plugins, and custom integrations, and explain which parts your project actually needs.

The goal is a site you can use and maintain: readable pages, clear navigation, a considered mobile layout, and a straightforward way to manage routine content. We agree on the editing and support requirements along with the design. Compare our current website options and pricing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spoke with several website designers before choosing Web Design KC. The thing that stood out was their ability to give me a simple site at a reasonable cost. I've learned not all designers can do that... The site they put together for me has the option to grow as my needs grow. The range of their abilities from very simple to very complex is a testament of their savviness for the needs of their customers. I am happy with the results of their work. Nice job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Kolten at Webdesign KC was a great experience from start to finish. He was responsive, organized, and clearly understood how to translate business goals into a clean, effective website. Communication was straightforward, timelines were respected, and feedback was implemented quickly without friction.

What stood out most was Kolten’s ability to think beyond just design — he understands usability, conversions, and how a site actually supports real-world business operations. The end result was polished, functional, and aligned with what we needed, not just what “looks good.”

If you’re looking for a web partner who is reliable, strategic, and easy to work with, I’d confidently recommend Kolten and the Webdesign KC team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We chose Kolten to build our website for our small construction business and the experience was fantastic. He was thorough, professional and knowledgeable. He was particularly flexible with us as we tended to take a little longer to make decisions but was always patient and willing to answer our numerous questions. Our website turned out great and we are so happy with the results!
