Lakeland Web Design, from a Lakeland Neighbor
I'm Vic King, a Squarespace web designer who lives and works in Lakeland, Florida. I own a historic home a block from Florida Southern College, I'm a member of the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce, and I built the Lake Morton Neighborhood Association's website pro bono. I build websites for Lakeland businesses that bring in local customers.
This is my town
I walk the lakes. I feed the swans. I've sat through Chamber breakfasts and neighborhood meetings and the slow Saturday line at the downtown farmers market. When a Lakeland business owner tells me they want to reach "people around here," I know exactly who they mean, because I'm one of them.
A website for a Lakeland business should sound like Lakeland: friendly, plainspoken, proud of the place without making a fuss about it. That's how I build them.

What a Lakeland business needs from its website
What I build in:
Google Business Profile tuned so you show up on the map, not under it.
Pages built around what Lakeland people actually search for, by neighborhood when it helps.
Reviews front and center. In this town, they're your best salesperson.
A mobile site that works on a phone in a parking lot on Florida Avenue.
A clean way for customers to call, book, or order without hunting for it.
Lakeland is big enough to have competition and small enough that reputation still travels by word of mouth. Your website has to do both jobs: show up when someone Googles "near me" from Dixieland or South Lakeland, and back up what their neighbor already told them about you.

What clients say
Paul McPherson
25 YEARS IN WEB DESIGN
“Right on the money”
So I've been involved in web development / web design for over 25 years and I can say unequivocally that Vic is hands down one of the most authentically talented and skilled web developers I've ever met. When you hire a web designer, you hope that they will have the vision and foresight to take your ideas to a place you hope they will go but don't know quite how to conceptualize or communicate. Vic's interpretation of my vision and outline was executed perfectly. He's patient, chill, fast & right on the money. Cannot recommend this dude enough.

“He drew out what he needed from me”
Such a great experience working with Vic. First, the product: he built a website for our church plant, and somehow it truly captures the feel of our church. Second, working with Vic is really easy. I'm a bit of a Luddite when it comes to making things look good on the internet, but he had great processes and prompts to draw out what he needed from me, and then he took it and ran with it. Lastly, he's professional. He responds promptly, communicates clearly, and is personable without losing professionalism.

“A site that grows with the practice”
Vic has been instrumental to the building and expansion of my practice. Not only did Vic give my business website a beautiful facelift, but he also understood what my clients would be looking for and made it easily accessible. … Can’t thank Vic enough for sharing his time and expertise. He truely invests in the vision of a company which makes him stand out amoung the crowd.
Questions Lakeland businesses ask me
-
Yes. I'm downtown. Pick the coffee shop.
-
Yes. Winter Haven, Bartow, Plant City, Auburndale, Lake Wales. If it's a reasonable drive, it's local to me.
-
Yes. For a Lakeland business it's often worth more than the website itself, so I set it up right and show you how to keep it fed.
-
Most of my projects run $5,000 to $15,000. Simpler one-location sites can come in lower. The free call ends with a number.
