How We Work

Simple process, serious results

01
Discovery
We learn your business, your customers, and what's not working. No jargon, just real conversation.
02
Blueprint
You get a clear scope, timeline, and price before a single line of code is written.
03
Build
We build fast and iterate with you. You see progress weekly, not just at the end.
04
Launch
We deploy, test, and make sure everything works. Then we stick around to support it.
Why Kist Digital

Built different, on purpose

01

No Templates

Every project is built from scratch for your business. You'll never see your site on someone else's domain.

02

You Own Everything

Your code, your data, your domain. No vendor lock-in. No monthly ransom to keep your site alive.

03

Local First

We specialize in local businesses. We understand your customers because we live in the same communities.

04

Speed

Most projects launch in weeks, not months. We move fast because we know your time is money.

05

Full Stack

From branding to backend, we handle the whole thing. One team, one point of contact, zero runaround.

Real Support

We don't disappear after launch. Your business evolves, your tools should too. We're here for the long haul.

About

Real tools for real businesses

I started Kist Digital after watching too many local businesses get burned by overpriced agencies selling cookie-cutter templates. A $10k website that can't even book an appointment? That's not a solution. That's a problem.

Every business runs differently. Your tools should too. I build custom software that fits the way you actually work, not the other way around. No templates. No page builders. Just clean, fast, purpose-built technology.

From websites and mobile apps to AI-powered dashboards and internal tools, everything I ship is designed to solve a real problem and deliver measurable results.

FAQ

Questions you're probably asking

How much does a custom website cost? +
Most projects fall between $2,500 and $15,000 depending on complexity. A simple marketing site with a contact form is on the lower end. A full booking platform with payments, user accounts, and a dashboard is on the higher end. You'll get an exact quote before any work starts.
How long does a project take? +
Most websites launch in 2 to 4 weeks. More complex projects like apps or dashboards take 4 to 8 weeks. You'll see progress weekly and have the chance to give feedback at every stage.
Do I own the code and the website? +
Yes. 100%. You own everything: the code, the design, the domain, the data. There's no vendor lock-in. If you ever want to take it somewhere else, you can. No strings attached.
Can you work with my existing website? +
It depends on what you have. If it's a WordPress or Squarespace site, I'll usually recommend a fresh build since the performance and flexibility gains are massive. If you have a custom codebase, I can absolutely work with it and improve what's already there.
What happens after launch? +
I don't disappear after the handoff. Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support for bugs and adjustments. After that, I offer ongoing maintenance plans or you can reach out anytime for updates and new features.
Do you only work with local businesses? +
Local businesses are my focus, but I work with clients anywhere. The process is the same: discovery call, clear scope, weekly updates, and a product that actually solves your problem.
What if I don't know exactly what I need? +
That's completely fine. Most clients start with a problem, not a solution. "I need more online orders" or "my team wastes hours on manual scheduling." We'll figure out the right tool together during the discovery phase. No commitment required to have that conversation.
Why not just use WordPress or Wix? +
Templates work for some businesses. But if you need something that integrates with your workflow, handles real automation, loads fast, and doesn't look like every other site in your industry, custom is the move. You also won't be paying $30/month for a page builder you don't control.
