Build a Website That Works Harder
Your website should be more than a digital brochure — it should be a performance machine. Fast, functional, flexible, and built to convert. We bring together design precision and technical expertise to create websites that not only look incredible but work flawlessly behind the scenes. From CMS-driven builds to fully custom solutions, we focus on usability, SEO, and brand cohesion to help your site run smoothly and scale with your business.
Let’s give your online presence some Rumble — the kind that drives engagement, builds trust, and delivers measurable results.
ExpressionEngine CMS Experts
We build on ExpressionEngine because it’s fast, flexible, and built to last. It’s the foundation that lets us craft sites that are beautifully designed, lightning quick, and effortless to maintain. ExpressionEngine gives us the control to customize every detail — from data structure to design system — without locking you into templates or rigid frameworks.
At Kern Creative Design, we fine-tune every build for performance and scalability. Clean templates. Optimized queries. Secure, modular architecture that grows as you do. ExpressionEngine’s balance of stability and creative freedom allows us to deliver sites that load fast, manage content intuitively, and evolve easily over time — no rebuilds required.
For us, EE isn’t just a CMS — it’s a platform for precision.
Our Web Development Process
Design and code should work together, not against each other. Our process blends creative design thinking with rock-solid development to deliver sites that perform as great as they look. We start by mapping goals, user paths, and structure. Then we design the interface and craft the content experience before developing a responsive, optimized, and secure build.
The result? A seamless, fast, and intuitive site that elevates your brand — and accelerates your success.
Discovery & Strategy
Setting the Pace
Before writing a line of code, we define what success looks like. We dig into your business goals, audiences, and analytics to create a digital roadmap that connects purpose with performance. Every layout, feature, and interaction stems from strategy — not guesswork. Because great sites don’t just appear — they’re planned with precision.
Design & Experience
Built to Engage
We design with intent — blending beauty and clarity to guide your visitors toward action. Every color, typeface, and animation serves a purpose: to enhance your brand and improve usability. Whether your site calls for minimalist elegance or high-impact visuals, we build interfaces that move people through the story — and make it effortless to take the next step.
Development & Optimization
Engineered for Performance
Speed and stability aren’t afterthoughts; they’re the foundation. We code clean, efficient sites optimized for speed, SEO, and accessibility. From ExpressionEngine to fully custom PHP builds, we structure every line for reliability and responsiveness. Image compression, caching, script deferral — every technical detail is tuned for performance so your site launches fast and stays strong under pressure.
Responsive, Fast, and Search-Optimized
Every site we build is tuned for performance — not just on desktop, but everywhere. Responsive design ensures your content adapts seamlessly across screens and devices, delivering a consistent experience whether viewed on a phone, tablet, or ultra-wide display. Behind the scenes, we engineer for speed: efficient code, smart caching, image optimization, and script control that keep load times low and user engagement high.
We don’t stop at looks or load time — search visibility matters too. From metadata and schema to structured content hierarchies, we build SEO fundamentals into every site from day one. It’s not about chasing algorithms; it’s about creating a technically sound, lightning-fast foundation that Google and your visitors both trust.
Because when your site performs, everything else follows — higher rankings, better conversions, and a brand experience that feels alive.
That’s the kind of Rumble we’re after.
E-Commerce & Interactive Solutions
Great online experiences don’t just look good — they work hard. Whether you’re selling products, promoting services, or driving engagement through dynamic content, your site needs to respond, perform, and convert. We design and develop e-commerce and interactive solutions that bring clarity to complexity — making it easy for visitors to explore, decide, and take action.
Our builds emphasize performance and usability: streamlined checkouts, intuitive navigation, mobile-first design, and secure transactions that build trust at every click. From product filtering and dynamic pricing to personalized experiences and data-driven recommendations, we create systems that feel as good as they function.
We integrate ExpressionEngine with CartThrob, custom APIs, and CRM platforms to keep your business connected and efficient — all while maintaining the design integrity and brand voice that set you apart.
Because true interactivity isn’t about gimmicks — it’s about creating digital moments that move people to act.
Let’s give your e-commerce experience some Rumble.
