About Webworks of KC

My name is Travis Pflanz. I create websites & digital marketing strategies so small businesses can compete with large businesses online.

As a Small Business Owner

I understand the struggles of growing and running a local business from the ground up.

I understand that small businesses must evaluate every dollar spent, to help maximize return, grow sales, and grow a customer base.

With every project I take on, I take the approach that a business’s website must be the central hub of a digital marketing machine. Developing a solid strategy around a business’s target and ideal customers and website, service, and/or product content is crucial to the success of every business’s website – I will never throw-up a website, just to “get it done.” That is not the right strategy for success.

Successful digital marketing projects begin by creating a strategy by identifying the project’s goals, researching the competition and target customer, setting expectations and setting methods for measuring the success of the project. Then, continue to monitor and improve the marketing strategy and website to evolve with market trends and customer expectations.

I take on clients who understand that a website is much more than an online brochure. My clients want and expect a higher level of service – an ongoing and continually evolving digital marketing relationship – helping each of our businesses grow and succeed.

The Beginning of WebWorks of KC

WebWorks of Kansas CityInevitably, one of the first questions every potential client asks is – “How did you get into web design?”

While attending University of Missouri – Kansas City in the Business Administration (with an Emphasis in Finance) program, I started taking web development classes as electives.

I first began developing websites as a hobby for friends, and to keep the history of my fantasy football league (pretty nerdy motivation, right?).

Quickly, I realized I could merge my marketing and business acumen with my passion for building websites – Web Works of Kansas City was officially born in 2007 with my first paying client, a small restaurant in Olathe, KS.

Then, in 2012, the company became Web Works of Kansas City, LLC. Today, Web Works of Kansas City has dozens of clients on recurring hosting, WordPress maintenance, SEO, and digital marketing service plans – and ever-growing.

Travis did an absolutely amazing job getting my web site switched over to a new url. I rebranded and a bunch of things needed to be fixed on my site so I could move forward. He not only got the new url up and running smoothly but he advised me on ways I could save money on my existing Shopify plan and my business email. Rebranding is stressful but he made this part of it a breeze.

Travis migrated my site to a new host. No issues. Everything worked just like it had before. He also fixed a problem with my contact form not sending to my email, and now it does!

I attended a talk given by Travis on increasing the speed of a WordPress site. A lot of great information really well presented. I learned a great deal about using off-site sources rather than third-party plugins and many tips on improving site performance.

I'll be implementing Travis' advice about using off-site sources by recommending a client use an Instagram feed rather than a gallery on her site. The photographs would be the same, but would not be hosted on her server. I will also set the fetch interval to daily, rather than hourly, to avoid slowing the site.

Travis was excellent explaining how Google Business works in the short period of time. I've learned a lot of good tips including how I can set up my home based bookkeeping business without my address being exposed. He knows his stuff!

Travis is extremely knowledgeable about SEO, but explains it in a non-technical way. I highly recommend him for small businesses wanting to grow!
