Web Design & Development in Kalamazoo, MI

A web designer and developer for Kalamazoo businesses

Kalamazoo has a business mix that keeps a web designer busy: healthcare and life sciences, Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo College and everyone who serves their students and staff, manufacturers and suppliers, breweries and restaurants downtown and in the Vine and Edison neighborhoods, and contractors and service companies across Portage, Oshtemo, and Texas Township. Customers in all of them check a business's website before they call.

I'm Jarod Dykstra. I've designed and built more than 200 websites since 2016 for businesses across West Michigan. I'm based in Byron Center, about an hour north, and you work with me directly from the first call through launch and every update after.

• Custom web development. Dashboards, portals, booking, and integrations for businesses that need more than a standard site. Web development.
• Online stores. Product catalogs, checkout, and shipping, built to sell. E-commerce websites.

Built for how Kalamazoo customers search

Most local searches happen on a phone, often with "near me" or the city name. Every site I launch has the foundation those searches reward: clear titles and descriptions, fast load times, a phone-first layout, and structured data that tells Google your business and service area. The pages are written for how people in Kalamazoo and Portage actually search, so you have a real chance of showing up.

Working together from an hour away

Distance doesn't slow anything down. Most of my projects run by phone, video, and email, and the process is simple. When an in-person meeting would help, Kalamazoo is an easy drive.

1. A quick call about your business and goals.
2. A free mockup of your new homepage, before you pay anything. Request yours.
3. A fixed quote and the full build, refined with your feedback.
