Local web design that works like your best salesperson.

Most builds land between $3,500 and $12,000, and the number is assembled from a published rate card rather than from how the call goes. Five designed pages with design direction is $3,500. Copy written for you adds $1,000. Extra pages are $250 to $750 depending on complexity, integrations are $50 each, and blog or CMS records come off one template at $750 to build it and $30 a record. The calculator just above this gives you the same number we quote from internally, and scope and price are agreed in writing before anything starts, with no setup fees.

The remaining balance of the build comes due, and you leave with the site. It is worth being blunt about this because the monthly option looks like the thing a lot of owners have been burned by. It is not. It is financing on a build you own, not a rental you lose access to. Either way the site, domain and files are yours from day one and they stay yours.

Usually yes, and you are not the first. Domains can be transferred without the previous developer's cooperation in most cases, because the registrar answers to whoever is on the account rather than to whoever built the site. Bring us what you have, even if that is only an email address you think it was registered under, and we will tell you honestly what is recoverable and what is not before you pay us anything. If it turns out the domain is genuinely lost, buying a new one is not the disaster it sounds like and we will say so.

Not if the migration is handled properly, and handling it properly is part of the build rather than an add-on. Existing pages keep pointing where they should, content comes across, and the structure improves rather than resets. Anyone who tells you a redesign carries no risk at all is overselling it, but the risk comes from ignoring the old site, not from replacing it.

You can change them yourself. The build is structured so your team can update prices, hours, service areas and routine copy without breaking the layout, and the week four walkthrough exists to show you how. On a care plan light edits are included with no clock running against you. Bigger work, a new page or a new section, gets a straight quote before it starts.

Sometimes, honestly, yes. If the site is mostly a business card and your time is not what is holding the business back, a builder will do the job. The reason most owners who start that way do not finish is not skill, it is that the site becomes the thing that never quite gets done while you run the company. If that has already happened to you once, it is worth knowing about yourself.

Yes. 4th Street is based in Cottage Grove and most clients are within an hour of the east metro. Fifteen of our twenty-two projects are Minnesota businesses, across all seven industries we work in. The rest are in California, Arizona, Ohio and Colorado.

Yes. The site, the domain and the files are yours from day one, and that stays true if you ever stop working with us. This is worth asking every agency you talk to, because a monthly website that stops existing when you stop paying is a rental, not an asset.

About four weeks for the core build, design through launch. That is what it normally takes, not a contractual date, and we would rather say that than quote you a number we cannot control. What actually moves it is how quickly we get content and decisions from you. If it does slip, you will hear it from us at the time rather than at week eight.

Both are on the table and it is your call. We are a certified Framer Pro expert, and Framer suits most service businesses: quick to build, easy for your team to edit, nothing to patch. If you would rather own the code outright, we hard-code the site on GitHub and Vercel, and we can help you connect your own coding agent so you can keep making changes after launch without coming back to us.

A score out of 100 across eight areas, run over every page we can crawl. It covers what search engines and AI assistants can see, how fast each page loads, and whether your structured data, crawler access and sitemap are set up at all. It also puts the prompts your buyers actually type to AI assistants and reports whether you get mentioned, or which competitors get cited instead. It does not grade design or score your conversion rate, because that is a judgement call rather than a measurement, and it is what the call is for.

Not at all, and we will migrate your content. We do not build new sites on WordPress, which is a deliberate choice about speed, security and how long the site stays current. If you specifically need WordPress, we are the wrong agency and we will point you somewhere better.

Yes. Integrations, analytics and conversion tracking are part of the build rather than a separate project, which is usually the difference between a site that looks better and a site you can actually measure. After launch we can also take on organic search, AI visibility, paid ads and lead routing, at $1,500 a month or an agreed per-lead commission, whichever is greater. Take those one at a time, or not at all.

Referrals are the best lead source you have and a site does not replace them. What it does is stop losing the people who look you up before calling. True North HVAC came to us after nine years of referral-only growth for exactly that reason.

We keep working on it until you do not. 100% satisfaction guaranteed means revisions until it is a site you are happy to send people to, not a shrug and a final invoice. You sign off on the design before the build starts and again before launch, so this should surface in week two rather than at the end.
