“Web design agency Minneapolis” is a crowded search. Half the results are template shops. The other half are national vendors with a fake local address.
Digital Architects is a real office at 711 Hennepin Ave, Suite 507. Google Partner. We design and build WordPress sites, then we run the SEO and Google Ads on top of them. Design without distribution is a PDF.
Design is not the product
The product is a site that:
- Loads on a phone in a neighborhood with mediocre LTE
- Makes the next step obvious (call, form, book)
- Has pages for the searches that pay the bills
- Can be edited by you without breaking the layout
- Does not get you sued for accessibility theater. We do ADA audits as web accessibility work, not a widget you dump in the footer and forget.
If a shop leads with moodboards and never asks what the site has to sell this quarter, keep walking.
What a build from us looks like
We start from custom website design and development. Typical stack for a local company is WordPress on SiteGround, not a mystery host. You get:
- Homepage you already have, or a new one if you asked for it. If the homepage is working, we leave it.
- Service pages written for search and for humans
- Blog / news structure like news and insights
- Contact, NAP, and schema that match Google Business Profile
- Redirects if you are replacing an old site, so you do not donate rankings to a 404
Hourly work is $150/hr unless we quoted a flat project. Invoices are due on receipt. We do not invent a second rate in a blog post.
How to tell a real local agency
- They rank for their own work, at least on brand plus a few service terms
- They publish specific articles, not “10 tips to grow your business”
- Reviews sit on Google, not only on the homepage
- Someone in Minneapolis will pick up (612) 459-7499
If you want a second opinion on a current site, send the URL. We will tell you which pages are missing and which ones we will not touch.
