Good websites, built carefully — explained plainly.
I’m Kyle, a website designer based in Wausau. I build clear, capable sites for local businesses and small organizations, and you work directly with me from the first conversation through launch.
How a project actually goes
No mystery, no agency theatre. Four steps, start to finish.
A real conversation
I start with a call or a few emails about your business, what the site needs to do, and where the current one gets in the way.
A plain plan
I write up the scope, cost, and timeline in plain language. The proposal sets out the work, price, and working timeline before the agreed build begins.
Design and build, in the open
I share real screens early, while changes are easy and expected. You see the site come together instead of waiting on a big reveal.
Launch, and the part after
I put it live, test it, and show you how to run it. Before launch, I explain the handoff and what post-launch help is included. Later maintenance is scoped separately.
What I can build for you
Right-sized work for real businesses, without enterprise scope or a fill-in-the-blanks template.
- Website redesigns
- Clearer structure, stronger writing, and a visual reset for an existing site that has stopped doing its job.
- Landing pages & simple shops
- Focused pages, modest catalogues, and straightforward checkout for one clear offer.
- Ongoing website care
- New pages, content changes, maintenance, and request-based troubleshooting.
A few things I’ve built
These are self-directed sample projects — things I made to show what I can do, not client work. They’re the honest way to judge the craft before we’ve built anything together.
Plain answers before you reach out
Practical guides to cost, timing, and hiring a designer locally.
Clear expectations, start to finish.
Lamplight fits around my full-time job, so I take on a few projects at a time and give honest timelines before work begins.
You work with me through design, build, launch, and the small fixes after. If it isn’t a good fit, I’ll say so early.
Let’s talk about your project.
Tell me a little about what you’re after. Even a rough idea is a fine place to start — I’ll reply with plain thoughts on whether I’m the right fit, and what a sensible next step looks like.
