Our story
About Kannapolis Web Design & SEO
Who runs it, where it's based and why we work in Kannapolis.
Kannapolis Web Design & SEO is a Mooresville Marketing company. Roger Johnson runs it from our office in Mooresville, in Iredell County, and he's the person you'll deal with from the first call on.
Who you'll work with
This is a small shop, not an agency with account managers. Roger answers the phone, looks over your site and Google listing himself, writes up the price and is still the one you text a year after launch. If something's wrong with your site, you won't open a ticket. You'll call him.
How we work
- Prices in writing before any work starts.
- Code written by hand, with no page builders or themes underneath.
- Straight answers, including "you don't need a new site."
- Everything in your name: domain, Google listing, analytics.
- No fake reviews and no ranking promises.
Why a Mooresville shop works in Kannapolis
We're honest about the address. There's no virtual office on West Avenue. NC 3 runs from downtown Mooresville past the Don T. Howell Reservoir and into Kannapolis, so Roger can be there well within the hour when meeting in person helps. Most of the work happens over the phone and shared screens, which suits busy owners anyway.
We like Kannapolis for the same reason a lot of people do lately. Few towns have had to reinvent themselves as completely. When the mill that made 300,000 towels a day was gone, the city put a research campus on the site, bought its own downtown and rebuilt it around a ballpark and a walkable street. The businesses opening there now deserve websites that match that effort.

A few Kannapolis facts we lean on
- 53,114 residents in the 2020 census, making it the 19th-largest city in North Carolina.
- Two counties: most of the city is in Cabarrus, with the northern edge in Rowan.
- The name is often read as "City of Looms," though historians doubt the mill's founder meant anything that poetic.
- The North Carolina Research Campus covers 350 acres where Cannon Mills once stood.
- The Gem Theatre, built by Cannon Mills in 1936, reopened in May 2024 after the city renovated it.
