WEB DESIGN FOR SERVICE BUSINESSES
I’m Kyle, the designer behind Oakstep Studio. I build mobile-friendly websites that explain your services, showcase your work and help customers contact you. Need a new site or improvements to your current one? I can help with either.

SEE WHAT I CAN BUILD
Open a site to explore the design and try its features. These are fictional businesses I created to demonstrate my work.
Explore the website LANDSCAPING & HARDSCAPING
A warm, image-led website for showing outdoor spaces and helping customers describe the project they have in mind.
Explore the website EXTERIOR CLEANING
A bright, straightforward website that helps homeowners choose services and put together a useful quote request.
Explore the website MOBILE DETAILING
A detailed service website where visitors can explore packages and try a sample appointment request.
Portfolio concepts, not client projects. Images are illustrative and inquiry, booking and automation features are simulated. Your proposal will specify which features are included.
HOW I CAN HELP
A new website from the ground up, or focused improvements to the site you already have. Built around your services and the way customers contact you.
A mobile-friendly website that brings your services, service areas, and approved project photos together, with a clear way to request a quote.
Keep what works. Improve the parts that make it hard for customers to understand your services or take the next step.
Start with a short brief. After reviewing your needs and existing setup, I’ll propose a fixed scope and price. You can review both before deciding. Domain, hosting and any paid services are listed separately; extra work needs a separate agreement.
Your service details, areas, approved photos and correct contact information. I organize that material into the agreed page. We confirm any content gaps before starting.
The deliverables, price, payment schedule, revisions, ownership, handoff and support. Timing is confirmed after reviewing the scope, content and access needed.
Extra pages, photography, advertising, ongoing SEO, custom booking and AI automation. Optional maintenance is scoped separately. A one-time repair does not require a monthly plan.
A SIMPLE PROCESS
Start with your current site, your customers and the action you want them to take. Email is fine.
Review the scope, price, revisions, ownership and ongoing costs before deciding to proceed.
Approve the content and design. Check the agreed customer path, then authorize the launch.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK
I’m Kyle Ricker, the designer behind Oakstep Studio and a student at the University of San Diego. I work remotely with owners wherever they’re based.
I’m starting with focused projects where the scope is clear and I can work directly with the owner. You’ll know who is doing the work, what we’ve agreed to, and what needs your approval.
The concepts above show my approach. As I complete client projects, I’ll share them here with the owner’s permission.
kylericker@oakstep.devA FEW USEFUL DETAILS
I quote a fixed project price after reviewing your brief and the work involved. The quote separates the build from hosting, domain, mailbox and any paid tools. You’ll see the scope and costs before making a commitment.
No. The concepts demonstrate design ideas and possible interactions. Your written scope lists the features included in your project. Custom planners or integrations are assessed separately; the standard service includes one agreed inquiry path or an existing booking link.
I’ll review the brief and respond personally with any questions. If the project is a fit, we’ll agree the scope, price and timing in writing. Sending an inquiry does not book a project or commit you to payment. You can keep the conversation by email.
Yes. I work remotely with business owners worldwide. We can discuss your project by email or arrange a call. Before agreeing to the work, we’ll confirm the language, time zone, payment arrangements, and any requirements specific to your business.
Possibly. First I’ll check the platform, the access you can provide, and the changes you need. I won’t propose replacing a site that already does the job well.
Your services, service areas, contact details, and photos you have permission to use. We’ll also agree on the wording and any reviews you want to include. Please don’t send passwords; we’ll use appropriate collaborator access if needed.
Your domain should be registered in your name. The proposal will state ownership, third-party licenses, account access, and the available handoff or export options before you commit.
No. I can help make your business clearer online and give visitors a practical contact path. Traffic, rankings, and sales depend on factors beyond the website.
Those require separate discovery and technical validation. They aren’t included in the standard website service. The interactive concept shows simulated possibilities, not connected production systems.
A SIMPLE FIRST STEP
Share the business, the problem and the next step you want customers to take. You don’t need a finished plan. We can work out the scope together by email.
Review your message before sending it.
We clarify the need, fit and any missing details.
Scope, price and timing come before a commitment.
