RESEARCH • BUILD • MEASURE
Greg Stamm built his first website in Derby around 2005 while he was a student at Derby High School. The site was for the Derby Drama Club and was made with Microsoft Publisher.
It was a small start. It also showed Greg a problem he still sees today. Links break. Facts go out of date. A site can be live and still fail the people who use it.
That lesson became part of the work. Today Greg reads search data, writes service pages, fixes site problems, and stays involved after launch.
This page is not about going back to high school. It is about bringing sixteen years of paid client work to the city where the first site was built.
No account manager in the middle. No fake Derby office. No old story used in place of current skill.
Derby has its own customers, name, and business life. It is also about 19 minutes from central Wichita. The two markets are close, but they are not the same.
A Derby business may serve only Derby. It may use Derby as a home base for south Wichita and nearby towns. It may also compete across the full Wichita area.
The website should say which one is true. That choice shapes the home page, service pages, local SEO, proof, links, and calls to action.
Derby should not be hidden inside Wichita. Wichita should not be ignored when a Derby business serves the metro.
The center of Derby is about 19 minutes from the center of Wichita. That short drive creates real overlap in customers, jobs, and service areas.
The goal is not to make two pages say the same thing. The Derby page should explain local roots, local fit, and south-metro reach. The Wichita page should explain the larger city market and its higher level of competition.
Together, the pages can build a stronger path from Derby into Wichita while each page keeps a clear job.
Derby businesses can serve the wider metro
Derby and Wichita each need a clear search job
The first Derby site was built before phones became the main screen for many customers. A business website now has to be fast, clear, useful, and easy to trust.
It also has to keep working after launch. A nice design is not enough when pages go out of date, links break, or Google shows the wrong page.
A prospective-client may find the site from a truck, job site, store, or waiting room. The page must load well and make the next step easy on a phone.
See the website, SEO, content, and support services or review the documented client results.
Greg starts with the site you already have. He looks at what is working, what is weak, and what keeps a good customer from finding or trusting the business.
The review also checks whether Derby and Wichita have clear roles. The first answer is not always a new website.
The review was not made to call one company the best. It looked at who does the work, what proof is shown, how Derby is treated, and what happens after launch.
Derby businesses have real choices in Derby and Wichita. The key is finding the right fit for the site, the market, and the level of care the business needs.
Stamm’s place in the market: Derby roots, direct owner access, search data before a package, repair before a rebuild, and a clear link to the wider Wichita web design and SEO strategy.
The work is built around pages and systems that help a real person find the business, trust it, and take the next step.
Project details, photos, reviews, results, staff facts, and process notes help a prospects compare the business with other choices.
The Derby Drama Club website was not a modern sales site or an SEO case study. It was the first step.
Today Stamm Web Creations manages websites, writes service content, reads Google Search Console data, fixes indexing and link problems, and stays involved after launch.
Current case studies come mostly from Oklahoma clients. They show current skill and a real work process. They do not claim Derby rankings that have not been earned.
Derby is where the work began. Kansas proof will be added when it is real.
Measured through Google Search Console comparison periods. Results can change by market, demand, site history, reviews, links, and the work done. These examples are not promises.
Greg was raised in Derby and built his first website there. Stamm Web Creations now serves Derby through a real Kansas service area.
The company does not claim a current Derby office, rented suite, local staff, or map address. Clients work with Greg by phone, email, video, shared files, and direct website access.
The Derby history is real. The service area should be described just as honestly.
What makes this Derby page worth publishing: it does more than name K-15, Rock River Rapids, Sedgwick County, or nearby Wichita. It explains a real business choice. Is Derby the main market, the home base, or one part of a wider Wichita area?
It also explains why Greg has a real tie to Derby and how that early start led to the work he does now.
This page has roots, not just coordinates.
Yes. Greg built a website for the Derby Drama Club around 2005 while he was a student at Derby High School. It was made with Microsoft Publisher. It was his first step, not a modern SEO case study.
No. Greg was raised in Derby, but Stamm Web Creations does not claim a current Derby office or map address. Derby is served through the company’s Kansas service area.
Greg reviews the site and search data, talks through the findings by phone or video, and completes the work through website access, email, and shared files.
That depends on where your best customers are. Derby is about 19 minutes from central Wichita, so many firms serve both. The site should state whether Derby is the main market, the home base, or one part of a wider Wichita area.
Yes. The pages should have different jobs. The Derby page can focus on local trust and south-metro reach. The Wichita page can cover the larger city market. They should link to each other and use different proof and detail.
Not always. Some sites need a rebuild. Others need one strong service page, a clearer home page, a fixed form, better local reach, or a search problem repaired.
Yes. Many projects start with an existing WordPress site. Greg checks whether the theme, builder, content, and tech health can support the needed work.
The best fit often includes service firms, contractors, health offices, shops, professional firms, and regional business-to-business companies that value direct access and steady website care.
A direct website and SEO review can show where the site is losing search reach, trust, and good leads.
No pitch deck. No account manager in the middle. No tool stack chosen before the problem is known.
Just a clear look at what works, what does not, and what should be fixed first.
