Website design in the Twin Cities, without agency pricing.
I'm Sean — a web designer and developer in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I build custom websites for local small businesses and people just starting out: fixed price from $300, live in days, and the code is yours to keep.

A Twin Cities business needs a different website than a national brand
You are not competing for everyone's attention. You are competing for the people within about twenty minutes of you who are looking right now.
Built to be found nearby
A page for each service, the suburbs you actually cover written on the page, and proper local structured data — so Google can tell what you do and where you do it. On the Business Site I set up your Google Business Profile too.
Made for a phone
Most people who look you up are standing outside, in a truck, or on a couch with a phone. Every site I build is designed on the small screen first, then widened — not the other way round.
Fast enough to keep them
Hand-written code on Vercel, not a builder loading a megabyte of plugins. Pages come in around a second, which matters more on a phone on mobile data than anything else on this list.
The price is on the page, same as everywhere else on this site
No discovery call before you are allowed to know what something costs. These are the same prices whether you are in Minneapolis or three hours north.
Starter Site — $300
A custom one-page website: mobile-first, contact form to your inbox, basic SEO setup and sitemap, launch and a handover walkthrough. The usual first website for a new business.
Business Site — $600
Up to five pages, a page per service for local search, Google Business Profile setup, copywriting help, and 30 days of free tweaks after launch.
Care plan — $49/month
Optional. Hosting, domain and SSL renewals, security patches, two hours of content changes a month, backups and uptime monitoring. Cancel any time and the site is still yours.
Across the metro, and the rest of Minnesota
I'm based in the Twin Cities, and the work itself runs over email and video calls — so where you are changes nothing about the price or the timeline.

Outstate, or out of Minnesota entirely? Still fine. Tell me where you are.
Working with a local developer
How much does a website cost in the Twin Cities?
Agencies around the metro typically start in the low thousands, and a lot of them will not tell you a number until you have sat through a call. Mine are published: $300 for a one-page starter site, $600 for a multi-page business site, $100 for a single landing page, and $49/month for the optional care plan. You get a fixed quote before any work begins.
Do you only work with businesses in Minneapolis and St. Paul?
No. I am based in the Twin Cities metro and a lot of my work is local, but the whole process runs over email and video calls, so I work with businesses across Minnesota and around the US. Being outside the metro does not change the price.
Will you set up my Google Business Profile?
Yes, that is included in the $600 Business Site. For a local business it is usually worth more than anything on the website itself, because it is what puts you in the map results. If you already have one, I will make sure it lines up with the site.
Can you rebuild the Wix or Squarespace site I already have?
That is a large part of what I do. I rebuild it properly, keep whatever was working, and move your domain across with no downtime. There is a whole page on it: DIY website upgrades.
How long does it take?
Most starter sites go live within a week of me receiving your content. Multi-page builds usually take one to two weeks. Tell me your deadline and I will be straight with you about whether it is doable.
