About us

Two people, one camera, a lot of websites.

Keeplight is Dakota and Mo. Dakota designs and builds the websites. Mo takes the photos that make them look like you. You work with both of us directly, start to finish, with no account managers in between.

We're based in Springfield, Missouri, and we'll happily drive out to meet you or hop on a video call from anywhere.

Questions

Common questions

I already have a Facebook page. Do I still need a website?

Facebook is great for staying in touch, but people searching Google for your service often never see it. A website shows up in search, looks more established, and belongs to you, not Facebook.

Do I have to write the words and take the photos?

No. Dakota writes the text from a short conversation with you, and Mo takes the photos. You can also send your own if you have favorites.

Do you only work with businesses near Springfield?

No. We meet in person across southwest and central Missouri, and work with businesses anywhere in the U.S. by phone and video call. Remote clients get the same free sample, pricing and care plan.

What if I want to cancel the care plan?

There's no contract. Cancel any time and we'll hand over your site's files so you can host it elsewhere.

Can you fix or redo the website I already have?

Yes. If your current site is slow, outdated or hard to use on a phone, we can rebuild it and move your web address over.

How do I pay?

Half of the build price when you approve the design, half at launch. The care plan is billed monthly.
