Kyle + Katie · design and build

A Denver web design company of two. Same two people from sketch to launch.

Hire a Denver web design company and you usually meet a salesperson first. Hire us and you meet Kyle and Katie, the two people who design your site, build it and answer your emails. No account managers, no juniors, no outside dev shop. We're Colorado-based and remote, on Mountain Time like you.

Denver work · two case files

Two Denver websites, two different problems.

A logo strip proves nothing, so here are two Denver clients instead: the problem each one brought us, what we built, and what they said once it was live. Good Denver website design starts from the problem, which is why these two look nothing alike.

Case 01Family law · Denver

KM Law Before: Stock photos, stock lines. After: Quiet, editorial, theirs.

Kukreja McFarlane handles high-asset divorce and complex custody, with 40+ years of combined partner experience. Their old site looked like a thousand other family-law sites, so none of that came through.

  1. We sat with both partners until the copy sounded like them.
  2. The partners themselves on the homepage, not stock photos, in a restrained palette.
  3. Service pages organized around the matters they actually take.

99/100 On Google's Lighthouse speed test, on a phone. Higher is faster. Ten pages shipped.

We wanted a site that didn't apologize for being expensive and didn't oversell either. Bullfinch built one that just shows the work and gets out of the way.

Case 02Party entertainment · Denver

Simply Smiles Before: Clowns. After: Professional entertainers.

Parents saw the word clown and booked someone else. The old site also leaned on Daniel's personal brand, so the team behind him barely showed.

  1. The clown language is gone. The copy sells balloon artists, face painters and entertainers.
  2. The booking system is the main button on every page. Daniel's admin per booking went from hours to minutes.

7 entertainers Front and centre, each with their own bio. Ten pages shipped.

Bullfinch understood that and built a site that positions us as professional entertainers instead. The new booking system is also saving me hours every week.

Across the metro · one site

One website for a metro of a dozen cities.

Your customers call from Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Wheat Ridge and Arvada as often as from downtown. Can one website reach all of them? Yes, if you skip the shortcut.

The shortcut

One page, a dozen city names.

Some studios sell one page copied for every suburb, only the town's name changed. Google treats those pages as spam, and it can drag down your whole site, not just the copies.

One orange root page branches to three solid orange location pages, with six faint dashed pages below left unbuilt

What we'd build you

One strong site covers the metro.

A clear page for each thing you do serves every suburb you drive to. A town gets its own page only when you have something real there: an office, a team, jobs done. The dashed circles are the suburb pages we'd leave off your site until then.

ProofLongmont + Westminster

Lighthouse Therapeutics Two websites became one.

Lighthouse Therapeutics is one practice with clinics in Longmont and Westminster, and it had two websites competing with each other. We folded them into one, so both locations now build on one site's rankings instead of splitting them.

Budget and timeline · our published numbers

What a Denver website costs, and how long it takes.

Price and time are the first two things owners ask a Denver web design company. Here are our real answers, before you ever get on a call.

01Cost

Four budget bands. Find yours.

For most small businesses, our sites run from $5,000 to $40,000. Three things decide where yours falls:

  • Page count
  • Integrations
  • Ongoing SEO or Google AdsOptional

These are the four budgets on our contact page, for whole projects. A focused website project is $5k–$15k. A full site together with ongoing SEO or Google Ads is $15k–$40k. Above $40k is a complex build or an ongoing retainer; under $5k, small or trial work. Your written quote names the exact figure for your site before anything starts.

  1. Under $5k Small scope or trial work
  2. $5k–$15k A focused project
  3. $15k–$40k Full site + campaigns
  4. $40k+ Retainer or complex build

Before we start

One fixed price. In writing. Within a week.

The quote spells out exactly what's included and what it costs. Nothing gets billed outside it, so there are no surprise invoices.

02Time

Three build lengths, side by side.

Counting from kickoff, most sites go live somewhere between day 60 and day 90. A site under ten pages moves faster, and custom integrations take the longest.

A real one: Sara Beckner Astrology went from mockup to launch in 29 days.

  1. 4–6 weeks Under ten pages
  2. 60–90 days Ten pages or moreWhere most sites land
  3. About 3 months Custom integrations
  4. 29 days Sara Beckner, mockup to launchA real build

Design + development · no handoff

Design and development by the same two people.

A lot of the web design and development Denver owners get quoted is really two companies: a studio that draws the pages and a dev shop that builds them. Things get lost in the gap.

We don't have a gap. We lay out every page in Figma, then write the code ourselves in Astro and Tailwind, CMS and custom integrations included. Whoever you approve a layout with is whoever builds it.

No handoff in the middle.

This is what Denver web development looks like when nobody passes the job along. A change you ask for goes straight to the person who will make it, and you never have to work out which company dropped it.

The usual way

  1. Designs itA studio designer
  2. HandoffBuilds itAn outside dev shop

    Lighthouse Therapeutics: 98 out of 100

    Each site run through Google's Lighthouse speed test on a phone. It scores out of 100, and higher means faster. Both numbers come from our case studies.

Reviews · website work only

What clients say about their websites.

Three reviews of websites we built, quoted word for word. Each client noticed something different about working with us, so we marked the line where they say it.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 on Google

  1. The design

    Katie's design blew me away. Super attentive and nailed my vision. 10/10, highly recommend!

    Matt Johnson Owner, Full Scope Metals

    What it says about us: The person who hears your ideas is the person who draws your pages, so nothing gets lost in a written brief.

  2. The speed

    Literally the best team in the business. Went above and beyond to get our website working in a week.

    Violet Crown Jiu Jitsu Jiu jitsu school

    What it says about us: A week isn't our usual pace; most builds take longer. But with nobody to hand the work to, a hard deadline is one we can actually chase.

  3. The site and the logo

    Kyle and Katie were amazing to work with. Great job building a new website and a new logo for my law firm.

    Spiro Family law

    What it says about us: Logo and website came out of one project with the same two people, so the brand and the site look like they belong together.

Five straight answers

What Denver owners ask before a redesign.

Price and timing are covered above. These five come up on nearly every first call. Short answer first, reasons underneath, and if you're in a hurry, the big words are the answers.

Do you have a Denver office?

Short answer: No.

We're Colorado-based and remote, and you don't need a Denver web design company down the street when the work runs online. Kickoff happens on Google Meet, then drafts and feedback move through shared docs and email. We keep your hours too: same time zone, Mountain Time, so a 2pm call is 2pm for both of us.

  • Google Meet
  • Shared docs
  • Mountain Time

Do you work with businesses in Littleton, Aurora or Lakewood?

Short answer: Yes.

Anywhere in the metro, and nothing changes with the zip code. A company in Lakewood gets the same two people, the same kickoff and the same process as a shop downtown. Where you're based changes what your site says, never how we build it.

  • Littleton
  • Aurora
  • Lakewood
  • The whole metro

Will a redesign cost us our Google rankings?

Short answer: It shouldn't.

Not as long as two things happen: every page that brings in visitors today carries over, and every old address points to its new one. We do both before launch. It's how Lighthouse Therapeutics went from two websites to one.

Can you move us off Squarespace or WordPress?

Short answer: Done it.

Cahoots Tavern left Squarespace for a custom site in 2026. A move like that means rebuilding the pages, bringing your content and photos across, and pointing the old addresses at the new pages so existing links still land somewhere. We handle all of it, and leaving WordPress follows the same steps.

Who writes the words?

Short answer: We do.

With you, though. You know the business and your customers; we know how people read a page. KM Law's service pages were written sitting with the partners, one question at a time, until every page read the way they talk. Expect plenty of questions from us.

A sixth question?

The next step · one call

Book 30 minutes about your Denver website.

Come with the site you have now, or with nothing yet but the idea. Half an hour is enough for a ballpark, and here is how that half hour, and the week after it, plays out.

  1. 00min

    You show us what you've got

    A live site you've outgrown, a competitor you envy, a few notes on your phone. An idea with no site behind it is a fine place to start.

  2. 30min

    You hang up with rough numbers

    Roughly what it costs and roughly how long it takes, told to you on the call rather than held back for a proposal.

  3. within7days

    A fixed quote lands in writing

    One price for a scope we've agreed on. Say yes or don't; nothing gets built until you do.

On the other end of the Meet

Kyle. He and Katie are the two people who'd design and build your site, and there are no salespeople, so the estimate you hear comes from the people who'd have to hit it.
