What Old Websites Cost Kansas City Businesses

Having a site that matches your growth matters more than you might think. In fact, Stanford’s web credibility study of more than 2,500 people found that how a site looks was the number one thing people used to decide whether to trust it.

If your business website is inadvertently undermining your credibility and lead generation, these things might be happening behind the scenes:

Responsive, Mobile-First Design That Converts

As of 2025, nearly half of all internet use in the U.S. happens on mobile devices. So if your website doesn’t work well on phones, you’re losing potential customers.

Every Kansas City website we build works just as beautifully on phones as it does on desktop. Clean layouts that adapt perfectly, text that’s easy to read without zooming, and buttons that actually work on touchscreens.

The result: A website that turns more visitors into leads, no matter how they find you.

Why Kansas City Businesses Choose Our Web Design Agency

Hey, I'm Jennie Lakenan!

After building 150+ business websites, I’ve learned what makes Kansas City companies unique. They need someone who understands how customers here search for services.

As a Kansas City resident and business owner myself, I bring that local perspective to every project. While I work with talented developers and graphic designers worldwide, my roots are firmly planted here. I shop where you shop, network where you network, and understand the KC business landscape firsthand.

That local understanding shapes everything we do, from SEO strategy to design choices. Being a successful web design agency means knowing not just about good web design, but also about the people and businesses those websites serve.

James Ransom

Owner of Showtime Transportation

Challenge

Showtime Transportation needed a website that could showcase their extensive fleet of luxury vehicles while making the booking process simple for customers planning special events like weddings, proms, and corporate outings.

Solution

We created a website highlighting their impressive vehicle selection with high-quality imagery and clear navigation. We implemented a streamlined quote-request system and developed focused landing pages for their key services like prom night transportation and holiday light tours.

Result

The new site has helped Showtime Transportation maintain their stellar reputation (4.9 stars based on 293 Google reviews) while simplifying the booking process. The clear presentation of their service differentiators has contributed to increased conversion rates and booking inquiries.

Leia Barrett

children’s book author

Challenge

Leia Barrett needed a website that could effectively market her children’s books while communicating her mission of supporting animal rescues and shelters through her publishing business.

Solution

We built a heartfelt, mission-driven website that balances product promotion with cause marketing. The site clearly explains how purchases support animal rescues and offers unique options like book donations to shelters or children in need.

Result

The new website successfully communicates Leia’s unique value proposition as both an author and advocate for rescue dogs. The fun, whimsical, and playful design creates a solid visual brand she can be proud of and extend to her other marketing materials. The engaging aesthetic captures the spirit of her books while making a meaningful connection with parents and animal lovers alike.

Challenge

After purchasing the business the year prior, Compost Connection needed a complete website overhaul. Their outdated site failed to reflect their modern approach to yard waste disposal and didn’t effectively convert visitors into customers.

Solution

We designed a clean, user-friendly website with prominent call-to-action buttons and a simple “How It Works” section to educate new customers. The site highlights their key differentiators: being cost-effective, sustainable, licensed, and family-owned since 1992.

Result

The new website makes it easy for visitors to sign up for services, especially the weekly collection option that drives recurring revenue. Customer testimonials build trust with potential clients, while the mobile-responsive design ensures Kansas City homeowners can easily sign up whether they’re on a phone, tablet, or desktop.

Challenge

Brightergy needed a website that could communicate complex renewable energy solutions to various audiences—from utility companies to private businesses—while positioning them as industry leaders with proven expertise.

Solution

We created a website with clear solution pathways for their three core offerings. The site uses strong visual elements and concise messaging to convey their mission of empowering organizations to take control of their energy.

Result

The redesigned website effectively showcases Brightergy’s impressive achievements: over 1,200 installed systems, offsetting more than 800,000 tons of CO2 over 25 years, and helping clients retain over $325 million in capital. The clear presentation of their solutions has helped streamline their lead generation process and establish them as a trusted leader in renewable energy.
