/ Website builds
Websites that are built to be found.
A website is the one piece of media you actually own. We design and build sites that load fast, read clearly, rank in Google, get cited by AI assistants, and turn visitors into phone calls.
Most agency websites are pretty and empty
A site that looks good but loads slowly, hides its contact information, and gives search engines nothing to work with is a brochure, not an asset. We have spent four decades buying media for businesses in this region, so we build websites the same way we buy media: with a measurable outcome attached.
That means the structure of the site comes first. What does a customer need to see, in what order, before they are willing to call you? Everything else follows from that answer.
What every build includes
No tiers, no upsells for the basics. These are not add-ons, they are the job.
- Custom design, not a recycled template Your layout, typography, and imagery are designed around your services and your customers, not dropped into a theme someone else is already using.
- Core Web Vitals performance budget Images compressed and served in modern formats, fonts loaded without layout shift, and scripts kept to what actually earns its weight.
- Technical SEO from day one Clean URL structure, one clear H1 per page, descriptive titles and meta descriptions, XML sitemap, robots.txt, canonical tags, and internal linking that search engines can follow.
- Structured data and AI readiness Schema markup for your organization, services, location, and FAQs so both Google and AI assistants can quote you accurately.
- Accessibility Readable contrast, keyboard navigation, real labels on every form field, alt text on every image, and semantic headings.
- Security hardening HTTPS everywhere, security headers configured correctly, spam protected forms, and a hosting setup with no plugin surface to patch every week.
- Local SEO setup Consistent name, address, and phone across the site, embedded location data, and a Google Business Profile review so the map pack has something to work with.
- Analytics that answer questions Google Analytics 4 configured with the events that matter: form submissions, phone clicks, and the pages that produce them.
How a build runs
Most sites go from kickoff to launch in four to eight weeks, depending on how much content needs writing.
- DiscoveryWe learn the business, the services, the service area, and the questions customers actually ask before they buy.
- Structure and contentSitemap, page by page outline, then copy. We write it, or we edit what you have. Nothing gets designed around placeholder text.
- Design and buildDesign in the browser at real screen sizes, then build. You see working pages, not flat pictures of pages.
- Test and launchCross device testing, form testing, speed, accessibility, security headers, redirects from your old URLs, then launch and monitor.
We keep your search equity
A redesign is where most businesses quietly lose their rankings. Old URLs disappear, redirects are never written, and six months later the traffic has not come back.
Before anything is replaced we map every existing page, keep the URLs that have earned their position, and redirect the rest. Your history moves with you.
Common questions
How much does a website cost?
It depends on page count and how much content needs to be written from scratch, but we price the whole project up front so there is no meter running. There are no monthly retainers and no contracts. Call 701-356-3212 and we will scope it with you.
Do I have to host with you?
No. We will recommend hosting that matches the build, but you own the site, the domain, and the accounts. Nothing is held hostage.
Can you work on my existing site instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Start with the free Triple Scorecard audit. It will tell us whether the fastest path is a set of fixes or a rebuild.
Will my site work on phones?
Every build is tested at desktop, laptop, tablet, and phone sizes before launch. Most local businesses see more than half their traffic on a phone, so that is where we start.
