What MKS Web Design Really Means to Me
When I built my site, I didn’t want it to scream or feel like another loud agency template. I wanted it to feel calm, simple, and real — something that actually shows how I think and work. I’ve always seen myself as more than just a “WordPress designer”. For me, it’s about connecting the strategy, design, and the deeper flow of how a business really runs. Every layout, color, and bit of copy on my site is there cause it means something, not just cause it looks good.
I like stuff that feels human and efficient at the same time. I spend a lotta time thinking through how to make a website just… flow — how it loads, how people move through it, how it feels when you click around. I use tools like Bricks Builder, ACF, and CPTs not cause they’re trendy, but cause they give me real control to build smarter, lighter systems that’ll actually last. My whole approach is about clarity, calm design, and long-term usefulness, not just a quick win or pretty mockup.
MKS Web Design isn’t some big agency — it’s just me, doing work I believe in! Helping business owners (mostly around Kansas) show who they are online, in a way that’s honest and clear. I try to stay grounded, keep learning, and just keep refining. I’ve learned that simple structure, clear thinking, and honest communication go a long way in web design — maybe more than anything else.
I guess my site kinda reflects that. It’s not perfect, but it’s mine. There’s a bit of me in every line of code and every blank space. Even the photos and random updates remind me that design isn’t just about conversion rates — it’s about balance, intention, and keeping a bit of creativity alive in the process.
What I Focus On Most
- Clarity first: Every project starts with figuring out what really matters to the client — not just making something that looks “cool”.
- Practical builds: I use Bricks, ACF, and custom post types cause they make editing and updating a whole lot easier later on.
- Local connection: I’ve worked with a lotta Kansas folks and small biz owners — that community vibe keeps me grounded.
- Creative side: My “Photo Corner” is just a reminder that I still love art and storytelling through visuals, not just code.
- Hands-on: I don’t outsource projects. If I take it on, I’m the one actually building it, front to back.
Sure, I could add more case studies or client quotes (and I probly will). But for now, the site feels right. It’s simple, honest, and does what it needs to do. When people land on it, I want them to feel what working with me’s like — relaxed, thoughtful, and a little different from the typical agency thing.
At the end of the day, I don’t try to look bigger than I am. I just try to be clear, useful, and human. That’s MKS Web Design to me — quiet confidence, simple structure, and websites that actually work the way they should.
It’s not about shouting to be seen. It’s about building something that simply works — and feels right doing it!
