Twenty websites built from scratch. Thirty-six currently under management. Local Bemidji businesses ship sites that load fast, rank for the searches their customers actually run, and convert without looking like a generic agency template. I live and work in Bemidji, so the work happens close to the ground.
Most of the websites I see in northern Minnesota fall into two camps. Either they were built ten years ago by a relative who knew HTML, or they were spun up in a hurry from a template by someone who never set foot in town. Both have the same problem: they don't load fast on a phone, they don't show up when a Bemidji customer types in a search, and they don't make the case for the business in language the customer recognizes.
The sites I build for Bemidji clients are the opposite. Page-speed scores that pass Google's Core Web Vitals on the first try. Mobile layouts designed for the phone first, the desktop second. Copy that reads like a local business talking to a local customer. Tracking and analytics wired in from day one, so you know which page is doing the work and which is dead weight.
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.
Most website builds for a Bemidji-area local business fall in the $3,500–$12,000 range depending on page count, complexity, copywriting load, and how much custom design vs. design-system work is involved. eCommerce builds run higher. I quote a fixed price after the discovery call — no hourly billing surprises.
