Kinvara / Websites
We design and build your website for you — then connect it to your Kinvara account, so litters, available puppies, and application forms publish straight from the app. And it works both ways: add a litter on the website and it flows into Kinvara, or add it in Kinvara and it publishes to your site. You breed; the website keeps up.
Any web designer can make a breeder site look good on launch day. The problem comes six months later: the "available puppies" page still shows a litter that went home in spring, because updating the site means logging into an editor you've half forgotten.
A Kinvara-built site doesn't have that problem. It's connected to your records — when you log a litter, mark a puppy available, or open applications in the app, the website updates on its own. Families always see the truth, and applications flow straight into your waitlist.
Traditional designers charge $2,000–$3,000 for a site that goes stale the day it launches. Other breeder platforms rent you a website by the month — and it lives on their servers, so it leaves when you do. We do it differently: we build it once, on your preferred web hosting platform — an account in your name that belongs to you — and your Kinvara plan keeps it current. No monthly website fee, ever. Not sure where to host? We’ll happily help you choose a provider.
Poodles of Piedmont runs on a Kinvara-built site today. It's a WordPress site through and through — every page is easy to edit whenever the breeder likes — and the parts that change all the time, like litters, puppies, and dogs, can sync straight from Kinvara so they never go stale. Click around and see for yourself.
Then browse our ten template designs — complete, clickable demo sites, each one a totally different look. Farmhouse warmth, editorial minimal, coastal calm, Art Deco glamour, bold poster-art, storybook charm, and more — including three designs built just for catteries. Pick a starting point and we build it as yours. Every one is easy to run either way you like — add litters and dogs right in WordPress, or send everything over from Kinvara, and the two stay in sync.
You do — completely. The site is built on your own hosting account and your own domain, registered in your name. We help you set both up, build the site there, and it's yours from day one. If you ever part ways with us, your website is yours to take with you.
No — and this matters to us. The template is only the starting point: a page structure and set of features proven to work for breeders. We build your site on it — your logo, your colors, your photos, your kennel's story — and we do all the building. Put two of our finished sites side by side and you'd never guess they share bones.
Template builds are typically live within about a week of receiving your photos and content. Custom builds depend on scope — you'll get a timeline with your quote.
No — the website is yours and works completely on its own. If all you want is a beautiful breeder website, that's exactly what we'll build, and you can run it like any WordPress site. Pair it with a Kinvara plan, though, and the two sync both ways: update a litter on your website and it flows into Kinvara, or make the change in Kinvara and it publishes to your site — either way, both stay current. And with a plan, your build includes full setup of your Kinvara account — dogs entered, waitlist live, forms connected — so you start with a working program, not an empty app.
Most day-to-day updates happen automatically through Kinvara — new litters, puppies, and photos publish from the app, so you rarely need to touch the site. And because the site is yours in WordPress, you can also edit anything directly — pages, litters, dog profiles — and the changes sync back to Kinvara. For bigger design changes down the road, we're a quick email away.
