Web Design · St. Paul, MN

St. Paul web design for the capital city, not the bigger twin.

St. Paul runs the state government, hosts Ecolab and Securian, and has the country's largest urban Hmong community. Its websites should sound like St. Paul, not Minneapolis.

St. Paul is Minnesota's capital and the Ramsey County seat, with Ecolab and Securian Financial headquartered downtown and 3M next door in Maplewood. Professional firms selling into that world — consultants, insurers, agencies, contractors — are read by careful buyers, and their sites need to look the part: restrained design, precise service pages, credentials stated plainly, and a contact path that reaches a person. Vendors to state agencies should expect accessibility to matter, and we build to current accessibility guidelines from the start rather than patching later.

The neighborhoods tell a different story. Hmong Americans make up about 11% of the city's population, and by 2000 St. Paul had the largest urban Hmong population in the nation. Restaurants, groceries, and services along University Avenue and beyond serve customers who may prefer Hmong, English, or both, and a properly translated set of core pages — services, hours, booking — can be a real advantage. Trades face the winter question: the furnace, snow, and ice-dam work that leads in January is not what sells in July, so the homepage should change with the season.

Every site is hand-coded and priced by page count — up to 10 pages for $1,500, 11–20 for $2,250 — with content writing, SEO, lead capture, online booking, and a year of support included. Content management lets you change seasonal pages yourself. Prices are on the pricing page, and most builds go live in 7–10 days.

Businesses online

No one publishes a count of St. Paul businesses with websites. The best figure is national: in Clutch's 2025 survey, 83% of US small businesses said they had a website — so roughly one in six still does not.

Web Design in St. Paul: questions we hear.

Should a St. Paul business say Minneapolis on its site?

Only if you genuinely serve Minneapolis, and then with its own page. Otherwise, being clearly a St. Paul business is a strength with St. Paul customers.

Do you build accessible websites?

Yes, to current accessibility guidelines from the start. For businesses working with public agencies it is often expected, and it makes the site better for everyone.

Can you build pages in Hmong?

We build the structure for multilingual pages and work with a fluent translator for the copy. A machine-translated widget is not a substitute, and customers can tell.
