Websites for Minnesota small businesses

Give your business a front window online.

I build fast, friendly websites for local businesses for $500, then take care of everything for $50 a month. You run your business. I'll handle the website.

No long contracts. You own your website and your domain.

What you get

A website that brings in calls, not headaches

Most people look a business up on their phone before they call or visit. Here's what your site will do for you.

  • People can find you

    Set up so Google understands what you do and where. Linked to your Google Business Profile so your listing and website work together.

  • Works great on phones

    Tap to call, tap for directions, hours right up front. It loads fast, even on one bar of signal up north.

  • You own it, I handle it

    Your domain and site are in your name. I take care of hosting, security and updates, and you just send me a message when something needs changing.

Try before you buy

Not sure yet? I'll build your homepage first, for free.

Seeing it is easier than imagining it. Tell me about your business and I'll put together a homepage you can look at on your own phone.

How the free mockup works

  1. Tell me your business name and what you do.
  2. In about 3 days, I send you a private link to your homepage.
  3. Like it? We finish it together. Don't? No cost, no hard feelings.

Recent work

Designed for the business, not a template

Each site is built around what that kind of customer needs most: a phone number for a furnace emergency, tonight's hours for a supper club.

Who you'll work with

Hi, I'm Jordan.

I'm a Minnesota web designer, and I build websites for the kinds of businesses that keep our towns going.

Too many great local businesses, the ones with five-star reviews and loyal regulars, are hard to find online. A good website shouldn't cost thousands of dollars or eat up a weekend of do-it-yourself.

When you work with me, you get one person, one point of contact and straight answers.

My promises

  • You own itYour domain and site are in your name, always.
  • No long contractsCancel the care plan any time with 30 days' notice.
  • A real local personMessage me directly. No support tickets, no call centers.
  • Built to standardsFast, secure and built to WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility guidelines.

Questions people ask

Do I need to know anything about computers?

No. You tell me about your business and send some photos. I handle everything else, from the domain and hosting to Google setup.

Who owns the website?

You do. The domain is registered in your name, on your own account. If you ever stop working with me, you keep your site and I hand over the files.

I already have a Facebook page. Do I need a website?

Keep the Facebook page! But not everyone's on Facebook, Google shows websites more readily, and Facebook owns that page, not you. Your website links to your Facebook so they work together.

What does the $50 a month actually cover?

Hosting, security, backups and monitoring, plus up to 30 minutes of changes each month: new hours, prices, photos, a seasonal special. Bigger changes are $50 an hour, and I always tell you the cost first.

Can I skip the care plan?

Yes. I'll hand over your finished site and show you how it's hosted. Most owners would rather not deal with it, which is what the plan is for.

Do you build online stores?

Not at this price. If you already sell through Square, Etsy or Shopify, I'll link your site to your shop.

Let's see what your front window could look like.

Free mockup, no pressure. Just tell me a little about your business.
