The Craftsman Behind The Code
I'm Kevin McCartney—a web developer who believes your website should actually work for your business, not just look pretty.
Kevin McCartney — Founder & Lead Developer
Why I Started Forged Digital Design
I genuinely enjoy helping businesses succeed online.
There's nothing better than watching a new business launch their first website, or helping an established company finally get the online presence they deserve. Seeing a client's vision come to life—and watching it actually bring in customers—that's what drives me.
That's why I started Forged Digital Design. I build websites that work as hard as you do—sites that look great, rank on Google, and help your business grow.
Before getting into web development, I served in the United States Marine Corps. That experience taught me discipline, attention to detail, and how to get things done right the first time. I bring that same mindset to every project.
Based in Bluffton, SC, I work with small businesses locally and nationwide. Whether you need WordPress, Squarespace, e-commerce, or a fully custom-coded solution—I build what fits your business best. Beyond websites, I also develop full-stack web applications using React, Next.js, and Node.js, along with database integration, real-time systems, and AI-powered tools. Whatever your project requires, I have the experience to make it happen.
