Does Any Of This Sound Familiar?
You know you need a website. Maybe you already have one.
But it's not currently working for you, like it should.
You're the local business owner who is great at what you do. Your work speaks for itself in person. Your website should do the same thing online.
Because when someone searches for your service in Rochester and lands on your site, you have about three seconds to earn their trust. That is it.
When I was working as a pharmaceutical sales rep, I spent my days inside beautiful wellness offices with every detail thought out, but when I’d pull up their websites, I'd feel the disconnect immediately.
The care, expertise, and intention clients experienced in real life wasn’t translating online, so I decided to do something about it.
Now I help Rochester small business owners, from health and wellness providers to trade and service professionals, get websites that actually reflect the level of work they do. And because I am right here in Rochester, you can grab coffee with your web designer if you want to.
That is not something a big agency in Minneapolis is going to offer you.
Hi, I'm Sarah— your local Rochester web designer.

Got Questions?
Q: How much does a website cost for a small business in Rochester, MN?
A: Web design pricing varies based on the size and scope of your project, but most small business websites in Rochester start at $2,999. What you pay for matters more than what you pay. A website that looks professional, loads fast, and is easy for customers to navigate will earn that investment back. If you are a local Rochester business owner and want to talk numbers before committing to anything, book a free coffee chat and we will figure out what makes sense for your budget and your goals.
Q: How long does it take to get a website built?
A: Most custom website projects are completed in two weeks once we have everything we need from you. The biggest factor in timeline is how quickly you can get me your content, photos, and feedback. If you are on a tight timeline, mention it when you reach out and we will talk through what is possible.
Q: Do I need to know anything about websites or tech to work with you?
A: Nope. That is the whole point. You are great at running your business. I am great at building websites. You bring your vision, your photos, and your goals. I handle everything else, including walking you through how to use your site after it is done so you feel empowered to manage your site.
Q: What kinds of Rochester businesses do you work with?
A: I work with Rochester-area service businesses of all kinds. Past local clients have included contractors, trade professionals, coaches, and health and wellness providers. If you are a small business owner in Rochester or the surrounding southeast Minnesota area who needs a website that brings in customers instead of just sitting there, we are probably a great fit. The best way to find out is to book a free coffee chat. Seriously, I love meeting local business owners.
Q: Why should I hire a local Rochester web designer instead of a big agency?
A: When you work with a local designer, you get someone who actually knows Rochester. I understand the local market, the types of businesses that thrive here, and what Rochester customers expect when they land on a website. You also get a real human being you can sit across from if you want to, not a ticket number in someone's project queue. Big agencies have big teams and big overhead, and that usually means a slower process, more hoops to jump through, and a site that feels like it could belong to any business anywhere. What I build is specific to you and your Rochester business.
Q: Do you offer website support after the site is launched?
A: Yes. Once your site is live, you have the option to add a Website Care Plan, which is a monthly support package that takes ongoing tech off your plate. That includes things like updating your copy, swapping out images, refreshing your promotions, and keeping your site running the way it should. A lot of Rochester business owners start with a website build and stay on for monthly support because they would rather spend that time on their actual business. If that sounds like you, we can talk through the options during your free coffee chat.
