I’ve been working with Kim Design since 2009. They've been instrumental in growing my handcrafted furniture business.
Kim, himself, is not only incredibly knowledgeable about web design and SEO, but he’s also a genuine pleasure to work with. He has an excellent strategic perspective on what businesses need to succeed online, and his SEO expertise has brought my website to the forefront in our regional market.
What I appreciate most about Kim is that he’s both a good person and an easy collaborator. We’ve successfully updated my website every five years or so, and each time he brings fresh insights while maintaining the quality that has attracted countless customers to Milbourn Woodworks.
After 15+ years of partnership, Kim remains professional, knowledgeable, and someone I’d highly recommend to any business owner looking for authentic web design expertise.

Web development for my new business
Fantastic! You've got some skills, tools, and a business license. Perhaps you even have a storefront, and now you're ready to let the world know you're open for business. It may just be a matter of keeping up with the Joneses, but if you don't have a website listed on your business card, some people may not believe you really mean business. How else are they going to learn about you?
In today's world, remote access is the name of the game. Many people prefer to do some research, and perhaps even some comparison shopping, before calling to set up an appointment, let alone drive across town to meet you. But we don't have to convince you of this; you're online, doing your own research at this very moment.
It's now a matter of assessing what we have to work with and establishing a scalable, step-by-step game plan to build a website that genuinely reflects your long-range business objectives while meeting short-term or more immediate demands. We refer to this stage of development as ground zero. There are several essential items to consider before we begin the actual website design process.
Do you have the following:
- Logo
- Business card
- Marketing materials
- Photos
- Text: your services and story
- url/web address/domain name: www.mywebsite.com
Business Plan:
- Mission
- Goals
- Target audience
- What sets you apart from your competition?
Budget:
- Graphics
- Copy
- Web Hosting
- Web Development
- Web/Business Promotions
- SEO
- Cross Promotions: print/radio/video
- Quarterly/Annual Promos & Updates
Time:
- target dates for deliverables
- hours p week/month

Web design upgrade
Ok, you've got a website, what now? Whether a new website or an old website, there is always more you can get out of your investment. Review 'the evolution of a website' below to learn more about scalability and the importance of developing your website over time.
The truth is, most small businesses treat their website like a one-time investment; they build it, perhaps out of some begrudging sense of obligation, and then tend to forget about it, sometimes even neglecting to update details like service or price changes, links to sites that no longer exist, employee profiles, etc. Perhaps that is indeed why you're currently reading these words.
Perhaps your website simply needs a facelift to better represent the business you've become: an improved logo, different colors, or a more modern look and feel that assures your clients you're not falling behind the times.
More importantly, many small businesses fail to help their website help them. They stagnate in the brochure website stage of development by failing to add any helpful functionality that can save them or their client time. Offering timely and easy service is often the degree of separation between success and failure.
Do you have any online forms that allow your clients to register for services at any hour of the day? Do you offer any informative videos that promote your value while you're away on vacation? Can you sell products or services 24 hours a day?

Redesign my website
There comes a time where taking two steps backwards is the best, or only, way to move three steps forward. Sometimes you have to cut the dead weight to move more nimbly and strategically.
There are numerous reasons to admit the necessity of a website rebuild. The most common is simply changing technology. Not only have coding practices evolved through the years, creating faster and more flexible websites, but user interfaces for non-coders have become more intuitive and user-friendly.
The days of Dreamweaver are long gone, many web building platforms have dropped by the wayside, and even many of the tried and true brands (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, etc.) have historic versions of themselves that are walking dead. There's the old phrase about putting lipstick on a pig; no matter how pretty you make your old website look, it's still an old website.
It can often be more expensive to work around an old platform than to start with a new, fresh framework.
Sometimes it's the business itself that needs some freshening up, whether that is the need for a new cosmetic look and feel, or the necessity to change your business practices that no longer represent the values of who you've become. Sometimes, you need to start with a blank slate that isn't cluttered by the past and move more nimbly into the future.
