Who We Are
Watermark Design is a Minneapolis based web design & hosting company founded by Mark Haugstad. In 2011 we launched from Fargo and then relocated to Elk River, Minnesota in 2013. Our main focus is building WordPress websites, but we also specialize in web hosting and graphic design. Mark has been a member of a local BNI networking chapters in Fargo, Maple Grove and Plymouth.

What We Do
We are creative innovators who love to build, design, learn, teach, collaborate and communicate. We build and maintain websites in WordPress, not because it’s easy, but because it allows our clients to maintain their sites if they so choose. Something innovative & unique we offer to Golf Cart Dealers & Shops is our Build Your Golf Cart Software.
