Our smallest package starts at $2,500. To get started please tell us more about your website needs or contact us at [email protected]
How long will it take to complete my website?
Our timeline is 4-6 weeks to complete a website but depends on the project since the size and pace of any project is set by the client. We will ask for your feedback through different stages of the project. Along with you providing photos and text if you choose. All this is a factor in the timeline and completion of your project.
Do I have to be in Twin Cities to work with you?
No. We work with clients from all over and can communicate by email, phone and Zoom meetings.
Will I be able to update the site myself when it's finished?
Yes. We give you access to your website on completion with a WordPress user login. We also provide you with 1 hour of training so you can make updates with adding photos and text. Our developers are available for more complex items or if you are too busy to make the updates on your own.

Who writes the text/content for the website?
We require you to provide all of the text content for your website. You are the expert on your business. We can also take current copy from your old site or print material and place in your website.

What if your website is built on Joomla, Squarespace, Shopify, Wix, etc? We can convert your website to WordPress.
Is monthly SEO included in my website build?

We do however provide the proper structure in your webite build with h1, h2, h3, meta data, and alt tags on images, etc. Not included in all website packages.
What is photo sourcing?
If required, we will assist you in finding free stock images from websites such as Pexels and Unsplash. That can then be used in your website if you have no photos of your own.
