75% of people judge
a company's credibility based on its website design

That means that your website is either HELPING or HURTING your business at all times! There's no easy way around it, your branding and website are the lasting impression you're making on your future clients and community. And more than that, people are quick to judge how perfect of a fit your business is for their needs (all based on what they see, read, and feel from your website!)

Finally, a local website designer that makes the process fun

I know, I get it. Trust me—you’re juggling a million things as a small business owner. Between managing day-to-day tasks, serving clients, and keeping everything running smoothly, the last thing you have the time or mental energy for is building or updating your website.

But here’s the thing: You know it’s important, and yet, that guilt creeps in because you feel like you should be doing it all.

You’re not alone, and that’s exactly why I’m here—to take this off your plate and build you a website that works as hard as you do, so you can focus on what truly matters.

Hey!
I'm Kate

Small Business Website Design in Minneapolis, Minnesota

"My old website was difficult to update and I was always struggling with the mobile version and getting frustrated with the whole thing. Kate not only had amazing customer service, made the website look a thousand times better, helped me update my brand colors and font to look more professional and reflect myself better (all totally worth her prices) but THEN she went above and beyond and showed me how to update the different sections in the site she created so that I could do it myself when I needed to. 1000% worth the investment and I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to work with her!

She will definitely be who I hire for any major updates and I can't recommend her enough."

Katherine K

"I love my work and I love sharing it with people one to one. But when it came to talking about it on my website, the messaging was all muddled and incoherent. Kate met with me in person and listened with warmth and genuine engagement. She carefully reviewed every page of my website and built a step-by-step blueprint to transform my messaging and reach people with all the confidence, coherence, and alignment that my practice is about. I felt seen and valued throughout the process. I highly recommend her services for anyone who wants a website that is both professional and authentically conveys their truest values." 

Kat C


"Before Kate and I worked together, the way we had the blogs organized on the website wasn't very user friendly and there was so much content to sift through. This was making it difficult for our clients to access information from the past that they needed. Kate did an amazing job of sorting through all the blog posts, and finding the right category for them to live in. She made it much more user friendly and accessible. I would definitely recommend Kate and her services! Scheduling with her was super easy, and she has such a great, easygoing vibe!" 

Maddie W



"Kate professionally and creatively wove the basic facts and pictures we provided for our business into a fantastic, eye-popping online story. She has provided great value to our new presence online. We would highly recommend her to anyone. Kate is a motivated and talented professional that is highly creative and a pleasure to work with! Top notch. Top shelf!"

Dave H




"Kate created a website for the building we have owned and managed for the past 20 years! Included was the history of the building, A bit about us and our family personally! Office space to lease, and tenants who enjoy the building and their reflection on working in our building! We are very pleased with our website, we feel so fortunate Kate could bring this project to life so beautifully! I would absolutely refer Katelyn Mae Marketing to anyone looking to have more exposure to their business in a very professional way!"

How much does a custom website cost in Minneapolis? +

It depends on the scope, but most custom website projects here in the Twin Cities range from $2,000–$8,000. My one-page builds start on the lower end, while full brand-and-build packages land higher. I’m happy to give you a detailed quote once I know what you're dreaming up—no surprises, just clarity.

Why hire a Minneapolis website designer instead of doing it yourself? +

Because you’ve got better things to do than wrestle with font settings at 11PM. I design sites that look good, work beautifully, and help your business grow—without the tech headaches. Plus, I’m local, so I get the small biz energy here in the Twin Cities and tailor everything to match your vibe and goals.

I already have a DIY site—do I really need a custom one? +

Maybe, maybe not. But if your site feels “meh” or isn’t bringing in business, it’s worth asking if it’s doing you justice. A DIY site says, “I’m figuring it out.” A custom site says, “I’m legit.” When you’re ready for that level-up, I’ve got you.

Can I get a discount if I provide my own images or copy? +

I’m happy to work with what you have however, the price reflects the full experience: thoughtful layout, brand strategy, and user experience that’s custom to you. If you're looking for a smaller scope, I do have streamlined packages we can talk about.

My friend said they could make me a website for way less—what’s the difference? +

Honestly? They probably can. But a lower price usually means fewer strategy sessions, less attention to detail, and more generic design. I’m not just building a website—I’m building your online home base with intention, so it actually supports your business.

Can we pay after the website launches? +

To keep everything running smoothly (and to respect both of our timelines), I ask for full payment before launch. It keeps things fair, clear, and on track. Promise—I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be here for support the whole way through.

Do you work with businesses outside Minneapolis and St. Paul? +

Totally! While I’m based in the Twin Cities, I work with small businesses all over the U.S. (and occasionally beyond). We can meet virtually, vibe across time zones, and build something beautiful no matter where you’re located.
