Most of Minnesota isn't the lakes area.

Custom web design & development in Minnesota

I'm in Brainerd, and most of the businesses I work with aren't. The work runs over email and video calls, so where you are changes nothing about the price, the timeline or what you end up owning. Websites from $1,495, fixed in writing.

  • Same price statewide
  • You own the code and domain
  • I reply within 24 hours.
Working remotely

What being three hours away actually changes.

Almost nothing, and it's worth being specific about why rather than just asserting it.

The price is the same wherever you are

There's no travel cost built into it, because there's no travel. A business in Duluth or Rochester pays exactly what a business ten minutes from me pays.

It runs on your schedule, not a meeting calendar

Most of this happens over email, which means you answer at nine at night if that's when you have twenty minutes. Video calls when they're genuinely useful, not as a ritual.

You can see the work the whole way through

The site goes up on a real link early and stays there. You're not waiting for a reveal — you're watching it get built and saying what's wrong while it's cheap to change.

Nothing about the handover depends on proximity

The domain is registered in your name, the code goes to you, the accounts are yours. None of that gets easier or harder by being in the same room.

The honest version

What I won't claim about your town.

Plenty of agencies run a page for every city in the state with the name swapped and nothing else changed. They rank for a while and they tell the reader nothing, and you can usually spot one because it knows suspiciously little about the place it claims to serve.

So this page doesn't pretend to know your market. The pages on this site that do talk about specific towns are the ones near me, where I can say something true — what people search for there, what the businesses are up against, and why. Everywhere else in Minnesota, the honest offer is simpler: the same work, the same price, and I'll ask you about your market instead of guessing at it.

Where the specifics exist

Where clients are

Across the state, and outside it.

These are the places enquiries most often come from. It isn't a limit — if you're somewhere else, including outside Minnesota, that's fine too.

Questions

Questions about working remotely.

Do you actually work outside the lakes area?
Yes, and most enquiries come from outside it. Minnesota is where I am and where most clients are, but the work runs over email and video and clients anywhere are welcome.
Shouldn't I hire somebody in my own town?
If meeting in person genuinely matters to you, then honestly yes — and I'd rather say that than talk you out of it. What being local doesn't change is the quality of the build, the price, or who owns the result.
Do you know my market?
Not the way somebody who lives there does, and I won't pretend otherwise. What I'll do is ask, and put what you tell me on the page in your words rather than inventing local color I can't stand behind.
What does it cost?
Websites from $1,495, landing pages from $1,195, custom software from $950 for one module. Every number is on the pricing page, and it's fixed in writing before anything starts.
Who looks after it afterwards?
You can, because you own it. Or Site Care at $49/month does it for you — hosting, backups, updates and small edits, cancellable any month.

Tell me what you're building.

Where you are doesn't change the price or the timeline. Send me what your business does and what the site has to achieve, and I'll reply within 24 hours with a fixed number and a date.
