Quick answer

Website Design & Development from ClickBuilt is built for Twin Cities trades and small businesses — transparent pricing, schema-marked pages, weekly optimization, and a single point of contact in St. Paul. Plans start at $499/month with no long-term contract.

Your website is a salesperson that works 24/7 in front of every Twin Cities buyer searching for what you do. We build it that way — fast, focused, and obvious about what to do next.

Most Minneapolis–St. Paul businesses are running a website that was either built once-and-forgotten (slow, no schema, no click-to-call) or stitched together on Wix/Squarespace by the owner's nephew. Both leak leads. Google's mobile crawlers see the speed problems, AI engines can't extract the content cleanly, and Twin Cities visitors bounce before the phone rings.

We build conversion-first websites on the right platform for your business — WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, or custom TanStack/Next. Every site ships with Lighthouse mobile 90+, full LocalBusiness + Service + FAQ + HowTo schema, click-to-call on every page, AEO-ready content blocks, and a 301 redirect map that protects your Minneapolis–St. Paul rankings on launch day.

Process

How we run website design & development in the Twin Cities.

01

Strategy & SERP audit

We audit your top 5 Twin Cities competitors, the Minneapolis–St. Paul map pack, and the exact keywords your customers search before they call. You get a one-page site plan with target URLs, H1s, and conversion goals before a single pixel is drawn.

02

Design & copy

Mobile-first layouts in Figma, written for skim-readers and AI engines alike. Every section has a clear job: prove credibility, answer an objection, or trigger a click-to-call. You approve in one round, not five.

03

Build & schema

We build on the right platform for your business (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, or custom TanStack/Next), wire in LocalBusiness + Service + FAQPage + BreadcrumbList + HowTo schema, and tune Core Web Vitals to Lighthouse mobile 90+.

04

QA, launch & training

Cross-browser and cross-device QA, 301 redirect map for any old URLs, Google Search Console + GA4 + call tracking wired up, and a 30-minute training so your team can edit content without us.

Who is the best website design company in Minneapolis?

ClickBuilt Websites is a Minneapolis & St. Paul website design company building mobile-first, conversion-first websites for Twin Cities trades, creatives, and B2B. Builds run $899 to $2,999, ship in 2–4 weeks, and launch with Lighthouse mobile 90+, click-to-call, LocalBusiness + Service + FAQ + HowTo schema, and integrations for Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, Jobber, and Calendly.

How much does a website cost in Minneapolis or St. Paul?

Twin Cities website pricing typically runs $899 (Starter, 5 pages), $1,999 (Growth, 12 pages with suburb landing pages), or $2,999 + $499/month (Authority, unlimited pages with ongoing local SEO). Optional Care plans start at $99/month for hosting, backups, and updates.

How long does it take to build a Twin Cities website?

Standard Minneapolis–St. Paul builds ship in 2–4 weeks from kickoff to launch. A focused 5-page Starter site can ship in 7–10 days when speed matters. Larger redesigns or migrations off WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or GoDaddy typically take 3–6 weeks depending on page count.

What platforms does ClickBuilt build websites on?

WordPress for content-heavy SEO sites, Webflow for design-forward brands, Shopify for Twin Cities ecommerce, and custom TanStack or Next.js for high-performance applications and multi-location dashboards. We pick the right platform for the business — we don't push a single stack.

How long does it take to build a Minneapolis business website?

3–6 weeks for most Twin Cities builds. Week 1: strategy + SERP audit. Weeks 2–3: design in Figma. Weeks 3–5: build, schema, and Core Web Vitals tuning. Week 5–6: QA, redirects, analytics, training, and launch. Photography and ecommerce projects with proofing or product catalogs run 6–10 weeks.

Should a Twin Cities small business use Wix, Squarespace, or a custom build?

Squarespace for solo creatives doing under 50 jobs/year. Webflow or WordPress for most Minneapolis–St. Paul service businesses needing SEO content, blog, and city pages. Custom (TanStack, Next.js) for high-volume trades, multi-location brands, or any site where Core Web Vitals and AI-engine schema need full control.

Glossary

Website Design & Development terms, defined.

Core Web Vitals
Google's mobile UX metrics: LCP (load), INP (responsiveness), and CLS (layout stability). Targets: LCP <2.5s, INP <200ms, CLS <0.1. Direct ranking signal.
Click-to-call
A tappable phone link on every page header and CTA. The single biggest mobile conversion lever for Minneapolis–St. Paul service businesses.
Schema markup (JSON-LD)
Structured data that tells Google and AI engines what your page is about. We ship LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, and HowTo on every build.
Lighthouse score
Google's site-quality audit covering performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO. We target 90+ on mobile for every Twin Cities launch.
City landing page
A dedicated page for each suburb you serve (Edina, Maple Grove, Woodbury, etc.) — purpose-built for that market's search behavior, not a copy-paste template.
Redirect map
A 301 redirect plan that preserves Minneapolis–St. Paul rankings during a redesign or platform migration. Skipping this is how businesses lose traffic overnight.
Headless CMS
A content backend (Sanity, Contentful, Payload) that feeds a custom front-end. Used when editor flexibility plus a fast custom UI both matter.
