I build websites for Twin Cities businesses, and I stick around after launch. Call or email when you need something changed and you'll hear back within one business day, or make the change yourself in the editor.
Most small business sites are slow, hard to change, and quietly falling behind on updates. Here's what you get instead.
Most customers search for you on a phone. Your new site loads quickly, and SEO is built in from day one: clear page titles, search descriptions and a sitemap, so Google knows what you do and where you work.
There are no plugins to keep updated, and out-of-date plugins are the most common way small business sites get hacked. There's very little to break and very little to attack.
Update your hours, swap a photo or post a seasonal special yourself in an editor simple enough to actually use. Or send it to me and I'll take care of it.
Your domain stays in your name, every change is saved in a full history, and the site's files can move to your own account whenever you ask.
Live sites I built and still look after.

Yes. Your domain stays in your name, and the site's files can be moved to your own account whenever you ask.
No. I start from what's on your current site and write a clear first draft. You just tell me what's wrong or missing.
Nothing you do in the editor is permanent. Every save is kept in a full history, so I can bring back any earlier version in a few minutes.

Not if you pay the setup fee: the care plan is month to month, and you can cancel any month. With $0 upfront, starting at $125 a month, there's a 12-month minimum, because those payments cover building your site.
A WordPress site needs its plugins and themes updated constantly, and out-of-date ones are the most common way small business sites get hacked. Your new site is plain pages with nothing to patch, so it stays fast and has very little to attack.
You keep the site. I move it to an account in your name so it keeps running, and you can still use the editor.
