Your company doesn’t fit in a box. So why should your website come from one?
At Lifted Logic, we’re business owners first. We understand that in order to get your website up and running, you may have already tried a few things.
Gotten scrappy. Maybe even hired a web developer. But you’re here because an out-of-the-box website just isn’t cutting it for you. You are an innovator in your industry with a creative operational mind. So you probably feel pretty restricted with what you’ve got now. Enter Lifted Logic. We’re a high-end web development company in Kansas City who can create sophisticated solutions and rise to the challenge of both your front-end dreams and your back-end needs.
Check out some of our recent builds.
Most people don’t realize that web design and web development aren’t the same thing. And sure, maybe your last web developer was the same one who designed the site. But trust us when we say, web development and web design are best left to respective experts.
Web design is an art, and it takes a special kind of graphic designer with an artistic eye and an instinct for user experience. Web designers use tools like Photoshop, InDesign, Sketch, and Figma to bring your ideas to life.
Web developers speak in code—literally. They write HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, and other coding languages. Essentially, they take the designers’ prototypes and bring them into a functioning staging environment for you to test, click, and interact with.
Web development services alone can be difficult to find, but if your current website developer is limited in their capacity to update, maintain, and improve your website, it may be time to turn to a web development agency for help. Lifted Logic is happy to offer development services not only in creating new websites but also in the audit and maintenance of your existing website.
So often, web developers go under appreciated by the users on their websites. Because when done right, a user shouldn’t feel like they’re looking at code. They simply feel their experience is fluid and logical; and that all the website functions exactly how it needs to. That’s why they deserve a little bit of hype.
Our web developers are smart, kind, and important. Our web developers love Kansas City, and Kansas City loves them. Our web developers are critical thinkers who are highly capable of handling anything that comes their way. Whether it’s a web app, user dashboard, advanced e-commerce build with API integrations, or all of the above (trust us, we’ve seen it), the web development team at Lifted Logic has your back.
Yep, that’s a pretty heavy burden for them to carry.
Plus, in order to rank highly in search results, your website has to be secure and reliable. So if all the web development tasks we just mentioned weren’t enough, we also assign our developers to routinely monitor web servers, where your new website will be hosted. This ensures your site stays up and running, and most importantly, secure, for as long as you host with us. Even in the event of a security breach (such as a plugin or server hack), our developers are on the case in an instant. (You can see now why they deserve more credit than they get!)
Luckily, our web developers are super humans and can do all of this in addition to bringing new websites to life on a weekly basis.
Your company does not fit into a pre-made box..so why use a pre-made website?
In case you haven’t noticed, the entire Lifted Logic team believes in, and stands behind, the power of the web. We have seen the ways in which a well-built, beautiful website provides a company with massive success, and there is nothing we love more than helping a client achieve their goals. Even through the backend of your website, we still seek to make sure your users are feeling something. Your beautiful web design, photos, video, and content all come to life when our development team works their magic to bring it to the web.
If your business is in need of an updated website, the clear choice is Lifted Logic. When we tell clients, “If you can describe it, we can build it,” we mean it. There has yet to be a project or task that our development team cannot tackle and find a simple, user-friendly solution for. We perform all of our work in-house, meaning that you can march straight into our developer “cave” and talk directly to the person building the entirety of your website.
While e-commerce websites are already legally required to have an SSL for credit card data encryption, it’s also been increasingly more important to put an SSL in nearly any website. Look up at your URL bar…see that green box? That means that you are browsing a website with the absolute best security available.
Unlike a standard business’ website, an ecommerce website is, in essence, a full retail store. With this in mind, the ecommerce website must be able to function in a variety of ways, similar to how multiple employees in various roles function.
Lovers of both user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) can’t not have love for the device that so many of us use every day for a significant part of our online lives. Over 50% of web traffic is mobile, and there’s no longer an excuse to not have a mobile responsive website, so make sure your users are receiving the same high-end experience any time they visit your site. The web has become something that travels with us everywhere.
Websites travel with us as well. We believe a good organic and sustainable website gives the user an experience, no matter the device. Responsive design doesn’t always mean mobile design, either. Responsive design responds to the size of the device, scaling the height, width, and content of the site with it so that if you’re viewing your website on a big screen tv, a tablet, or a small phone screen, everything is still visible, and most importantly, usable.
Google announced that websites that were not mobile-friendly would begin seeing a major penalization in their search engine results. In order to give its users the best experience, Google will not show websites to users searching on a mobile device that is not optimized for a wide range of devices and screen sizes. “The bottom line is that failing to have a mobile-friendly website is most likely already resulting in lost revenue for your organization. Consumers are becoming less and less willing to put up with poor user-experiences on their mobile devices because organizations fail to adapt to changing expectations. Your prospective customers will find the path of least resistance.”
If you have ever had an idea for an application that would make running your business vastly more simple, come talk to Lifted Logic’s talented developers about custom web application development.
Custom web application development is like building a house – if we don’t know the blueprint it’s really hard for us to determine the details of your project. Complete the contact or RFP form below to discuss your project and you will hear back from a team member within 2 business hours.
The two major phone platforms, ios and android, both have very different guidelines when it comes to submitting apps. Typically Android will take any mobile app without questions. However, iOS mobile apps submitted to Apple have to go through a revision and review process and get approved to be available in the store. Lifted Logic builds apps for both platforms.
Does your company have a storefront but wants to expand online? Or maybe you started online but are now opening a storefront? It can be challenging and time consuming to deal with two different systems that don’t speak to each other. We can assist with creating code that helps to link your POS system with your e-commerce system so they are unified together.
Many companies have internal systems that need to get integrated with an E-commerce build, such as CRMs, Salesforce, Constant Contact, Infusionsoft, inventory control systems, or other software. We can help build API’s that speak to these systems and relay information back and forth with every order that comes in.
Developer Spotlight
If you’re looking for style personified, look no further than developer Megan Gilpin. With a smile bigger than the brim of her sun hat, this Kansas native is a true New Yawker after 13 years of living in NYC. Up there she married form and function doing menswear design for Kenneth Cole (but seriously, how impressive is that?); back home in Kansas she does the same thing for the websites we build.
A skydiving, seltzer-drinking, Scarlet Witch-admiring sailor, Megan refuses to stop being the coolest person ever.

How Development & Design Work Together to Produce Killer Websites
Kyle Carlson, Lead Developer • 24 Oct 2022
Lifted Logic has managed web design projects large and small for over a decade. We’ve honed our process to not only ensure an engaging and well-strategized product, but to educate you through every step of the way.
Whether you still have questions or you’re ready to get started, our web development team is ready to help.
When Lifted Logic builds your business a custom website, you own every aspect of the site. The code, the content, the videos, the photos, and design. You just spent your hard-earned money on a custom website, so why should you not have the power to update it as you see fit? Our websites are built on the most user-friendly and well-known content management system out there: WordPress. We offer free training with our custom-built websites on WordPress and constant advice and support.
Utilizing content management systems like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal is advantageous to both Lifted Logic and the client. You should not have to contact us each time you want to post a photo, add a new employee, or make any other updates to your website. With sophisticated content management systems, you can do it yourself. Additionally, our developers build custom plugins and additions to your content management systems, making pages with specific content or functionality easy and straight-forward to manage and update.
WordPress is a popular system that allows users to create and manage websites and blogs. Over the years it has evolved into a versatile system that can be used to build various types of websites, including e-commerce sites, business websites, portfolios, and more.
