KC Web Specialists Spotlighted in Shawnee Chamber of Commerce Newsletter

How many of you belong to a Chamber of Commerce? And if you do, when was the last time you reviewed your profile on their website? If it’s been a while, check to make sure your page has a backlink to your site — Google values credible backlinks from trusted organizations.

We’re honored to share that KC Web Specialists was recently featured in the Shawnee, Kansas Chamber of Commerce monthly newsletter for our work, relationships, and contributions to the community.

Building Business Through Relationships

Most of our work comes from personal connections and referrals. Being part of the Chamber offers both opportunities — and credibility. As Chris Nastav, owner of KC Web Specialists, explains, “Being a part of an organization like the chamber adds a huge amount of credibility to our work. People do business with people they know and trust.”

When Chris launched the company over seven years ago, he explored several Johnson County chambers before choosing Shawnee. The variety of businesses and the ability to stand out made it the right fit.

From Army Service to Web Design Leader

Before founding the company, Chris spent seven years in the Army, then transitioned into corporate software training. Learning HTML opened the door to freelance web projects, and by 2007, he launched his business full-time.

Just months later, the workload was so strong that he hired his first developer — who’s still part of the team today. Now, KC Web Specialists has a team of full-time, part-time, and contract staff serving 40–48 clients at any given time.

Why the Chamber Connection Matters

About 35 active clients today came directly from Chamber relationships. Attending coffees, ribbon cuttings, and other events has been key to building those connections. As Chris puts it, “The more we’re out there, the more business we get.”

KC Web Specialists is different from many web design firms because we provide hourly consulting, and 100% of the final work belongs to the client. No monthly contracts, no ownership restrictions — just a trusted partnership when you need it.
