About KT Design

I'm Kyle - a business owner and web designer based in Shepherd, MI. Since 2010 I've been building sites that speak plainly, load fast, and actually move the phone.

My Journey into Website Design

I bring creativity, technical depth, and owner-to-owner practicality to every build. Over the last decade I've refined a process that makes websites not just look great, but convert - clear messaging, fast performance, and calls-to-action where they belong.

Whether you need a brand-new site or a redesign, I take a personalized, goal-first approach so your site aligns with how your business actually wins customers.
