Frequently Asked…

Here are some of the most common questions we get about our team and how we work.

What industries has Knihter worked with?

We’ve partnered with clients across higher education, healthcare, nonprofits, manufacturing, and professional services. Our deep industry knowledge includes complex challenges like ERP integrations for manufacturers, accessibility compliance for education, and WCAG standards for healthcare organizations. Our experience spans both local Wisconsin organizations and national brands.

Where is Knihter based, and who do you serve?

Our team is based in Cedarburg, WI (just minutes from Milwaukee), but we serve clients across Wisconsin, throughout the U.S., and internationally. With a remote-friendly approach and proven processes, we can support projects anywhere while maintaining the personal touch of a local partner.

What makes Knihter different from other agencies?

We specialize in long-term website growth through WordPress, Pantheon hosting, and marketing analytics. Unlike agencies that just launch projects, we ensure our clients retain full control of their digital assets while building scalable solutions that grow with your business. Each team member has scaled companies and understands digital from a leadership perspective.

How big is your team?

We’re a lean, senior-level team of experts—no handoffs to junior developers or outsourcing. This means every client works directly with specialists in WordPress development, Google Analytics/GTM, and digital strategy. As a Platinum Pantheon Partner managing 60+ WordPress sites, we bring enterprise-level expertise to every project.

Can Knihter work with existing platforms or only rebuilds?

We do both. If your current site can be improved through optimization, integrations, or accessibility updates, we’ll enhance what you have. If it’s outdated, locked down, or performance-limited, we rebuild with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and long-term growth.

What does a typical project timeline look like?

Most projects range from 6-16 weeks depending on complexity. We use a structured discovery process, followed by development in a staging environment with regular check-ins. Every update is thoroughly tested before going live, and we maintain rollback capabilities for additional security.

Do you provide ongoing support after launch?

Absolutely. We offer comprehensive WordPress maintenance that includes security monitoring, performance optimization, and strategic development support. Our enterprise-level mindset combines automated monitoring with human expertise—we’re invested in long-term partnerships, not just project delivery.

What does it cost to work with Knihter?

Project costs vary based on scope, complexity, and timeline. We provide clear pricing, defined timelines, and flexible options during our discovery process. We identify risks upfront and recommend scalable paths forward—from MVPs to full builds—keeping projects aligned with goals and budgets.
