Hello, I’m Ken Bradford and I enjoy web design, graphic
design, and website development for small businesses in and
around Clarksville, TN and other parts of the U. S.
I am an ambitious problem solver with sound oral and
written communication skills who has a passion for online
small businesses and startups.
I specialize in Self-hosted WordPress web design and blog design for small businesses. I design websites that
are user-friendly, liked by search engines, and relevant to the needs of a target audience. I possess outstanding
proficiency in search engine optimization techniques.
I spend a lot of time helping small businesses learn the importance of web design, blogging, and social media in
implementing any personal branding strategy. I get paid to help people de-stress and simplify their blogs,
websites, and more importantly, their lives. A perfect situation that leaves both of us happy.
