Frankfort & Franklin County
Web design for Frankfort businesses, from Frankfort.
I'm Kevin Barnett. Level Up Technologies is based here in Frankfort — same town, same area code, and I'll come to your shop if that's easier than a Zoom call.
Websites start at $499 one-time. No required monthly fee.
Why local matters here
Most of the companies advertising "web design Frankfort KY" aren't in Frankfort.
Search that phrase and you'll get agencies in Louisville, Lexington, out-of-state marketing shops, and a few national outfits that spin up a page for every city in America. They can build you a fine website. What they can't do is drive to Wilkinson Boulevard when your point-of-sale drops offline.
Frankfort runs on state government schedules, downtown foot traffic, the distillery visitors coming through Buffalo Trace and Castle & Key, and a deep bench of trades and contractors serving Franklin County. Those are different businesses with different customers, and the website should reflect that — a contractor needs a phone that rings, not a blog.

What I do
Websites, and the tech around them.
Websites that convert
Clean, fast, built mobile-first. Services, photos, and a quote form that emails you the moment someone fills it out.
Google Business Profile
Claiming, verifying, categories, services, photos — the work that decides whether you show up on the map at all.
Reviews
A system for asking real customers after a finished job. No fake reviews, no filtering out unhappy ones.
On-site tech work
Networking, cabling cleanup, Starlink installs, backup power, smart devices. Real work at your location, not just pixels.
On ranking, I'll be straight with you: nobody can promise you the top spot, and anyone who does is selling something. What I can do is the work that actually moves it — accurate listings, fast pages, real reviews, content that matches what people search.

Questions
The things people ask first.
Do I have to buy the monthly plan?
No. The $499 website is a complete product on its own — it isn't crippled to push you upward. Plenty of businesses need a good site and nothing else.
Who owns the site if I leave?
You do. You buy and own your domain, and the site files are yours. If you cancel, I'll either keep hosting the site for a small fee or hand you the files to host anywhere.
I already have a website. Can you fix it instead?
Sometimes yes, sometimes a rebuild is cheaper than untangling it. Tell me what platform it's on and I'll tell you honestly which one I'd do.
Will you take over my Facebook page?
No — I don't do social media management. I'll connect your existing Facebook to the new site so the two work together.
How long does it take?
For a straightforward five-page site, usually a couple of weeks. The slowest part is almost always getting photos and content from you, so gather those early.
