Web Design & Development in Kentwood, MI

A local web developer for Kentwood businesses

Kentwood businesses compete in a busy part of Kent County. Shops and restaurants along 28th Street and around Woodland Mall, contractors and service companies on the south side, manufacturers and distributors in the industrial parks, clinics, churches, and nonprofits all fight for the same customers' attention. When someone in Kentwood searches for what you do, your website decides whether they call you or the next result.

I'm Jarod Dykstra. I've built more than 200 websites since 2016, and I work out of Byron Center, a short drive from Kentwood. I design and build custom websites, and you work with me directly from the first conversation to launch day. No account managers and no handoffs.

What I build for Kentwood businesses

• New websites designed around how your customers decide, fast on a phone, and kept current for you after launch. More on website design.
• Redesigns for sites that look dated, load slowly, or are stuck on WordPress, moved over without losing the rankings you already have. More on redesigns.
• Custom features like booking, quote forms, member areas, and databases, built with custom code. More on custom development.
• Local SEO to help you show up when people search in Kentwood and the Google map pack. See the SEO plans.

Why local matters

Because I'm close by, we can meet in person if you'd like, at your office or over coffee. Plenty of clients prefer phone and video, and that works just as well. Either way, you get fast replies from the person actually building your site, which is the thing my reviews mention most.

Built to be found in Kentwood

Every site launches with the SEO basics done properly: clear page titles and descriptions, fast load times, a layout that works on phones, and structured data that tells Google your business, your location, and the areas you serve. Pages are written around what Kentwood customers actually search for, so you have a real chance of showing up for "near me" searches, not just your own business name.

How a project works

1. A quick chat about your business, your goals, and what isn't working now.
2. A free mockup of your new homepage, so you see the direction before you pay anything. Request yours here.
3. Build and refine until it's right, with a fixed quote agreed up front.
4. Launch, and I keep your site current from there.
