Your Digital Mainstay
Meet the Team
Mainstay Design Co. was founded by a married duo with the perfect balance of design and analytics expertise to help your business excel. After running a boutique web design business for six years, Kari (the designer) and Cooper (the analyst) saw an opportunity to bring their skills to service providers, solo entrepreneurs, and growing businesses—offering professional websites without the big-agency price tag.
We believe that a high-performing website should be a mainstay of every business, and that it shouldn’t break the bank. Our mission is to deliver affordable web design services that are backed by real data and SEO expertise.
“I’m thrilled with my new website! Kari made the design and implementation process simple and painless. She was quick and responsive, and her explanations were clear and easy to follow. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
Kari was amazing to work with. She helped redesign my business website with so much thought and care, it came out absolutely fantastic. I'm absolutely thrilled with the end result, and I would highly recommend working with Mainstay Design for any website needs.
Mainstay was great to work with. I highly recommend Kari based on her exceptional communication skills, website design knowledge, and her ability to deliver exactly what the customer is looking for. Kari is THE BEST!
