Web design & social media

Websites that just work and keep working.

KiteForge builds fast, secure, low‑maintenance websites for small businesses, then keeps them running with hosting, upkeep, and social media that actually gets posted.

  • Nothing to hack or patch
  • Loads in under a second
  • One monthly bill

What we do

Three things, done properly, so your site is handled end to end instead of stitched together from five vendors.

Design & build

A custom site designed for your business, built to look right on a phone and load quick. Menus, galleries, maps, and contact details in from the start.

  • Custom design from your branding
  • Copywriting & menu / PDF layout
  • Set up to show up on Google

Hosting & care

Your site stays fast and secure, and we keep an eye on it. We handle the updates and take care of the small edits that pile up.

  • Hosting and security, handled
  • Your domain, looked after
  • Watched so it stays online
  • Monthly content edits

Social media

Original content on a schedule: short videos and graphics made for your business, posted twice a week so the feed stays alive.

  • 2 five-second videos & 4 graphics / month
  • Posting to Facebook & Instagram
  • Event creation on request
  • Account setup & ad graphics

Who it’s for

Small, local businesses that need a site working for them, not another system to babysit.

  • Bars & restaurants
  • Food trucks & mobile businesses
  • Salons, barbers & tattoo studios
  • Fitness, trainers & freelancers

Common questions

Do I own my website?

Yes. The domain and all your content are yours. If you ever move on, we hand everything over. No lock‑in.

How long does a build take?

A typical small site goes live a few weeks after we have your branding and content. Timelines depend on how fast revisions and material come back.

What do you need from me to start?

Your logo and brand colors, the text and photos for each section, and any menus or PDFs.

Can I make changes after launch?

Managed plans include one or two small edits a month. Full Service covers unlimited edits within your existing pages. New sections or features are quoted separately.

How do I pay?

You get the full invoice when you approve the build, but nothing is due until the site is delivered. Monthly hosting and upkeep is billed each month, through Square.

How it goes

  1. 1

    Talk it through

    A short conversation about your business, your customers, and what the site needs to do.

  2. 2

    Design & copy

    You see the design with your actual words in place, and approve it before we build.

  3. 3

    Build & launch

    Built, tested on phones and desktop, and launched on your own web address, fast and secure.

  4. 4

    Keep it running

    We keep it online, make your updates, and keep the social posts going, all on your plan.

Content creation

The same video, sound, and graphics production we offer clients, applied to our own D&D actual‑play series.

Who you’re working with

Keith Jackson, founder of KiteForge, flying an orange kite under a blue sky

KiteForge is a one‑person show...me, Keith. I spent about 30 years bartending, starting in New Orleans and working my way through Honolulu and Denver before landing back home in Metairie, LA. Pat O’Brien’s, Johnny White’s, and opening the first Lucky Strike in Hawaii are all somewhere on that resume.

Around 2023 I went back to school for code (Nucamp, then a stretch mentoring other students at Joy of Coding) and picked up the full‑stack side: JavaScript, React, Node, PostgreSQL, and a lot of hours in Git. These days I build and host small‑business sites, run D&D games that moved online years ago, and I’m putting together an animated series on YouTube.

Bartending taught me the part that actually matters here: keep it simple, skip the jargon, and just handle it so you don’t have to think about it.

KiteForge is a registered Louisiana trade name.
