Before You Hire Anyone

How to Judge a Portfolio, Including Ours

A screenshot only proves someone can use a design tool. Check these three things on any web designer's work.

01

Is It Live?

Mockups are easy to fake. Every sample above is a working client website, not a concept. Ask on your Lab Report call and we'll open live sites in your trade with you.

02

Open It on Your Phone

Most local customers will. Check that it loads fast, reads easily and puts the phone number one tap away.

03

Ask What It Did

A good-looking site that doesn't bring in calls is a brochure. Ask for numbers. We share ours wherever clients allow it.

What types of businesses do you work with?

Our website design is best suited to service businesses like roofers, electricians and plumbers, but we support every kind of entrepreneur. We'll gladly design and build a website that fits the needs of your new or growing business.

Do you only build websites for local Duluth businesses?

No. We're known for web design in Duluth and we're based in the Twin Ports, but we've built websites for businesses across Minnesota and Wisconsin. Some of our clients serve both states, and some serve customers across the US.

Do I actually own my website after launch?

Yes. You have complete ownership of your website and can do whatever you want with it once the project is finished.

Do you offer hosting and managed website packages?

Yes. We host client websites on our own fast server with a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Hosting, Management & Security is $100/mo, and our done-for-you management covers monthly backups, security monitoring, plugin updates and light content updates.

Do you build e-commerce websites?

Yes. We specialize in service-business websites built to bring in leads, but we also build online stores on WordPress + WooCommerce and Shopify. Our ecommerce website package is $5,000; see Pricing for everything included.
