Why KJ Web Design
Not a factory. A focused studio
that cares about your results.
Most web agencies churn through projects. We take on select clients and give each one the same level of attention a large agency charges $25,000+ for.
Personal Attention on Every Project
You work directly with Katie and Jake — not an account manager. Every project gets our senior-level focus from the first conversation to post-launch support.
SEO Strategy Woven Into Every Build
SEO isn't an add-on. We research your market, identify the searches your customers make, and build your site to rank from day one.
Built for Growth, Not Just Launch Day
Managed hosting, ongoing updates, content strategy, and performance monitoring — we're your long-term growth partner, not a one-time vendor.
Our Work
A portfolio built on real results.
Every site we ship is designed to rank, convert, and represent your brand with the care a high-end agency gives a Fortune 500 client.

Our Process
A proven process.
Consistent results.
Every project starts with discovery and research — then moves through design, development, and launch with full transparency at every step.
Discovery & Research
We dig into your industry, competitors, and ideal customers before a single pixel is designed. Strategy comes first.
Design & Brand
Custom design built around your brand identity — every color, font, and layout decision is intentional.
Build & Optimize
Clean, hand-written code. Fast load times. SEO baked in from the ground up. No bloated page builders.
Launch & Grow
We manage hosting, monitor performance, and stay on as your long-term partner. The relationship continues after launch.
ADA & Accessibility Compliance
Your website could be a
lawsuit waiting to happen.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to websites — and most small business owners have absolutely no idea. Federal courts have consistently ruled that businesses must make their websites accessible to people with disabilities, yet the law is rarely talked about in the web design industry.
What makes this worse: there are firms and individuals who deliberately hunt for non-compliant small business websites, then send demand letters threatening costly lawsuits in exchange for settlements. These are professional litigants who have turned ADA non-compliance into a business model — and small businesses are their primary target because they're least likely to know the law exists.
Template platforms like Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace use rigid, pre-built designs that routinely fail WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards — the legal benchmark recognized by US federal courts. You may not even know your site is non-compliant until a demand letter or court filing arrives.
Template Platforms Leave You Exposed
Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace templates routinely fail basic accessibility checks — missing keyboard navigation, broken screen reader support, and insufficient color contrast ratios that violate WCAG standards.
We Build to WCAG 2.1 AA Standards
Every site we build meets full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance — the standard recognized by US federal courts. Semantic HTML, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, focus management, and contrast ratios built in from day one.
Serial Litigants Target Small Businesses
Law firms and professional plaintiffs actively scan websites for ADA violations and send demand letters to small businesses. Settlements typically run $5,000–$20,000, plus attorney fees. Compliance is far cheaper.
26% of US Adults Have a Disability
Accessibility protects a massive customer segment — and it's the law. An inaccessible website isn't just a legal liability; it's lost revenue from over 60 million Americans who can't use it.
Client Results
Happy clients. Proven track record.
What sets KJ Web Design apart is how invested they are in your success. They took the time to understand our business, our audience, and our goals before ever touching the design. The website looks incredible, and our social media now feels purposeful and strategic instead of random posts. They are creative, responsive, and truly care about delivering results. 5 stars because 10 wasn't an option!
Will Wilson
Owner, Wilson Outdoor Company
KJ Web Design just completed updating our construction company website. I'm an Easton MD native and I'm also a tech-challenged contractor and they really made me feel at ease working with them. They listened to what I said — this was important to me. I liked that we ended up with a very professional and simple online presence. We have been in business for 40 years and they did an exhaustive search to locate any available information about us, some I had forgotten about. These two have renewed my faith in our local young business people. They did what they said they would do and for the agreed upon price. I am a more than satisfied customer and look forward to having them work with us on additional projects in the future.

Full-Scale Services
Everything your business needs to win online.
Design, development, SEO strategy, branding, and ongoing management — one studio, complete capability.
AI Search Optimization
Most websites are invisible
to AI search engines.
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude are now answering millions of buying questions directly — without users ever clicking a link. If your business isn't optimized to be cited by these AI engines, you're losing customers to competitors who are.
Traditional SEO gets you on page one of Google. AI Search Optimization (AIO) gets you cited as the answer. These are fundamentally different — and most web designers are still building for 2018, not 2025.
Structured Data & Schema Markup
AI engines parse structured data to understand what your business does and where you are. We implement comprehensive schema markup so AI can confidently cite you as a trusted answer.
Authority Content Architecture
AI models favor content that's authoritative, well-structured, and directly answers questions. We architect your pages around the exact questions your customers ask AI.
Entity & Topic Clustering
AI search understands topics and entities, not just keywords. We build topical authority for your business so AI engines recognize you as the definitive source in your niche.
Most Agencies Aren't Doing This
The vast majority of web designers are still optimizing for last decade's Google. Early adoption of AI search optimization is a major competitive advantage — and that window is closing.
