Web Design · Lexington, KY

Lexington web design for horse country, the campus, and the plant floor.

One city, three readers: an overseas buyer vetting a farm, a parent checking a clinic near campus, and a procurement analyst comparing suppliers.

Keeneland runs live racing in April and October and operates the world's largest Thoroughbred auction house, which means a Lexington farm or equine service is researched by people who may never set foot in Fayette County before they spend serious money. Designing for that reader means photography that stays sharp without slowing the page, pedigree and service detail laid out like a catalog, and an inquiry form that asks for country and time zone. A template with a slider and a phone number does not survive that scrutiny.

The University of Kentucky, with more than 16,000 employees, creates a different audience: students, families, and staff who find clinics, apartments, and restaurants on a phone. Those pages need hours, location, and booking above the fold, and they need to change when the semester does. Manufacturers and suppliers — Lexmark and Big Ass Fans are headquartered here, and Toyota builds next door in Georgetown — need a third design entirely: capability pages, certifications, and a request-for-quote path that accepts drawings. A design that tries to serve all three readers on one homepage usually serves none; separate entry points, clearly labeled, let each find their own door.

Every build is hand-coded and priced by page count: up to 10 pages for $1,500, 11–20 for $2,250. Content writing, SEO, lead capture, online booking, and a year of support are included, and the tiers are on the pricing page. Most sites go live in 7–10 days. If the site you have is sound and only one thing is broken, a flat-priced repair from $149 may be the better buy.

Businesses online

No one publishes a count of Lexington businesses with websites. The best figure is national: in Clutch's 2025 survey, 83% of US small businesses said they had a website — so roughly one in six still does not.

Web Design in Lexington: questions we hear.

We breed and sell horses. Should our site show prices?

That depends on how you sell. Plenty of equine operations list horses with an inquiry button rather than a price, which works as long as the inquiry form is good. What hurts is a site with no detail at all, which forces a serious buyer to email for the basics.

Can you redesign our site before the fall meet?

Usually. Most builds go live in 7–10 days and start within 24 hours of the go-ahead, so a project begun in late summer is comfortably finished before October. Tell us the date that matters and we will plan backward from it.

We supply manufacturers. Do we need more than five pages?

Often, yes. One page per capability or process serves procurement buyers better than a single services page, and it helps search. The 11–20 page tier at $2,250 is where many suppliers land.
