Helping businesses feel confident in their technology

Websites, online stores, and digital solutions.

WHAT I WORK ON

I help businesses with websites, online stores, and digital solutions

01

Websites

Thoughtful, professional websites that reflect your business, build credibility, and make it easy for customers to find and connect with you.

WordPress builds, redesigns, website updates, and support across platforms like Squarespace and Wix.

02

Online Stores

Sell your products or services online with an ecommerce experience built around how your business actually operates.

Shopify, WooCommerce, online payments, booking systems, and custom ecommerce solutions.

03

Digital Solutions

Sometimes the tools you need don't work together, or an off-the-shelf solution doesn't quite fit. I build and improve the technology that helps your business run smoothly.

Custom development, integrations, automation, troubleshooting, and NetSuite.

MY APPROACH

Built around you and your business

We figure it out together

I’ll help you explore your options and decide what makes sense for your business.

Solutions that fit

No unnecessary complexity. Just the tools and features you actually need.

Confidence to move forward

You’ll understand what we’ve built and feel comfortable using it.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

The developer behind Kovalent Studios

Kayla Otterness, founder and developer of Kovalent Studios

Kayla Otterness, Founder

I spent years building applications, integrations, and internal tools as a software developer at Best Buy and later as a NetSuite consultant. Before that, I worked in chemistry and quality systems, where I developed an appreciation for organization, problem solving, and the importance of getting the details right.

I started Kovalent Studios to help people navigate technology with confidence. I enjoy figuring things out, making complicated things feel less overwhelming, and helping others understand the tools they rely on. Outside of development, I also work as a cake decorator, which gives me another creative outlet I really enjoy.

People often tell me that I’m approachable, organized, and easy to work with. My goal isn’t just to deliver a finished product, but to provide support people can trust and leave them feeling more confident than when we started.

Have a project in mind or need help with your website or technology? I'd love to hear what you're working on.

Name

A little tidbit for those who made it this far...

Kovalent Studios gets its name from a callback to my love of chemistry. In chemistry, a covalent bond is one of the strongest types of connections, where two atoms share electrons. To me, it represents collaboration and the relationships that make meaningful work possible.
