KELSO, WA WEB DESIGNER

UPPER LEFT WEB DESIGNS

WEB DESIGN SERVICES IN KELSO, WASHINGTON

My name is Scott Alderman, owner and developer at Upper Left Web Designs. Kelso has a unique culture built on timber, transportation, and resilience. From its Scottish roots under founder Peter Crawford to its history as a rough-and-ready logging hub famously nicknamed “Little Chicago,” Kelso has always had a strong work ethic and a strong sense of identity.

Today Kelso continues to grow as a transportation corridor for I-5, Amtrak, and freight rail while small local businesses form the backbone of the community, from coffee shops and service trades to longstanding lumber and river-associated industries. Your business deserves a website that reflects the grit and character of Kelso while helping new customers find you fast.

I build fast, clean, hand-coded websites for Kelso business owners for $150 per month, $0 down, with unlimited updates and full support. If your site brings you even one or two customers a month, it pays for itself—and strengthens your presence across Kelso, Longview, and the entire Cowlitz County region.

WHY CUSTOM CODE BEATS WORDPRESS FOR KELSO COMPANIES

Many Kelso area business websites are slow, outdated, and built on WordPress themes loaded with plugins and bloated code. Google rewards SPEED! Especially on mobile. Custom HTML and CSS load nearly instantly, helping your customers stay on your page instead of bouncing back to Google and choosing a competitor.

Custom-coded sites avoid plugin failures, hacks, database errors, or forced updates. They are stable, simple, fast, and built for long-term performance.

SECURITY BUILT INTO EVERY SITE

WordPress sites often rely on login portals, third-party plugins, and databases which are common targets for attacks. My code has none of that. No logins. No plugins. No database. Just pure performance and security.

WHY CUSTOM CODE MAKES YOUR BUSINESS STRONGER

Every line of code is written specifically for your Kelso business. This means clean structure, no unnecessary scripts, and optimal Google indexing.

GOOGLE LOVES CLEAN CODE

Clean code helps Google fully understand your business and rank you higher in Kelso-related searches.

I test your website across mobile, tablet, and desktop at multiple resolutions, ensuring your site performs perfectly everywhere.

EASY FOR CUSTOMERS TO USE

BUILT FOR LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE
