Website Design in Bemidji, MN.

Website changes and new builds for Bemidji businesses. The work can cover design, writing, mobile layouts, search setup and a clear way for customers to get in touch.

What I build

Sites built to do real work for a Bemidji business.

A website does not need to be old to deserve a closer look. We check how the current site works on a phone, whether it explains the business and whether customers can take the action they came for.

The agreed work can include mobile layouts, page speed, clear service information and measurement of calls, forms or bookings. We test the finished work against the scope rather than promising a particular search position or score.

What's included in a build

  • Discovery call and a written proposal with scope, timeline, and investment up front
  • Design tailored to your business and your audience, not a template
  • Copywriting in your voice, I draft, you approve and edit
  • Mobile-first responsive layout, tested across the major browsers
  • Local SEO setup: titles, descriptions, schema markup, sitemap, Google Search Console
  • Analytics + conversion tracking wired in (GA4, GTM, call tracking optional)
  • Hosting setup, domain configuration, SSL, all handled
  • One round of revisions baked in; any additional rounds approved in writing
Bemidji-area work

Real sites built for real businesses in the region.

The portfolio includes Bemidji Glass Company (full website rebuild oriented around local search), American Door Supply (national B2B eCommerce headquartered in town), New Wave Demolition (Twin Cities-area service contractor with full tracking infrastructure), and a roster of others currently under management across Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. Every build follows the same playbook, scaled to the business.

How scope works

One clear recommendation before you commit.

Start with a free 30-minute call to discuss what the site needs to accomplish and what is worth checking. If paid work is appropriate, you receive the page plan, deliverables, timing and cost in writing before deciding. A rebuild is one possible recommendation.

Common questions

Before you reach out.

Most small-business sites take 4–6 weeks from kickoff to live, depending on how fast we get content and approvals. Larger or eCommerce builds typically run 8–12 weeks.
Yes. I set up hosting (typically Vercel, WordPress with a managed host, or Shopify depending on the build), wire up your domain, and configure SSL and email forwarding. You stay the owner of every account.
Local ranking depends on more than the website, your Google Business Profile, reviews, and citations matter just as much. I set the website up correctly (schema, fast load, mobile-friendly, local keywords in the right places) and walk you through what you need to do off-site to round it out.
Sometimes. If the existing site has decent bones and traffic, a focused redesign can preserve SEO equity and cost less. If the bones are bad, starting fresh is usually faster and cheaper in the long run. We figure that out on the discovery call.
Yes, on a per-site basis. Some clients prefer hands-off, in which case I hand over login and documentation and you take it from there. Others run a small ongoing retainer for content updates, plugin maintenance, and minor design tweaks.
