Web Design + SEO
Design and SEO built together from day one for St. Paul businesses. No bolt-on optimization after launch — structure, speed, and content strategy are part of the build.
Web Design & SEO — St. Paul, MN
FlintHorn builds websites for St. Paul businesses — from the Capitol corridor to Cathedral Hill. Design and SEO handled together, senior-level work, no handoffs.
St. Paul is Minnesota's state capital, home to a dense corridor of government agencies, healthcare systems, nonprofits, and professional services firms. Regions Hospital, HealthPartners, the State Capitol complex, and a growing creative economy along Lowertown and Grand Avenue all compete for online visibility in a market where most websites are years behind the curve.
If you're a St. Paul business competing for attention online, your website needs to do more than exist — it needs to perform. That means fast load times, clean code, proper schema markup, and content built around how people actually search for services in the east metro.
FlintHorn works with St. Paul businesses that want design and SEO handled as one engagement. Cathedral Hill law firms, Lowertown creative agencies, University Avenue medical practices — we build on a modern, performance-first stack and every site ships with a 100 Lighthouse score and architecture built to rank.
Whether you're near Rice Park, on Grand Avenue, in Highland Park, or anywhere in the east metro — we build sites that rank locally and load fast for every visitor. Macalester, St. Thomas, Hamline, and Concordia keep the talent pipeline strong — and the competition sharp.
Available as a full engagement or standalone — whatever fits your situation.

We're based in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin — about 50 minutes from downtown St. Paul. Close enough for in-person meetings when they matter, without the cost structure of a Summit Avenue office. You get senior-level work at a better rate, with the kind of responsiveness that remote-only agencies can't match.
Most St. Paul business websites have fixable technical problems — slow load times, broken schema, poor crawlability, missing Core Web Vitals. We build on a modern stack that eliminates these issues by default, so your site starts with a technical advantage your competitors don't have.
St. Paul has a higher concentration of nonprofits, government agencies, and mission-driven organizations than almost any city in the Midwest. We understand the unique requirements — accessibility compliance, grant-funded timelines, stakeholder-driven content, and the need to do more with less. Every site we build meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards by default.
We work with businesses in St. Paul and throughout the east metro — in person or fully remote.
Also Serving
“As a nonprofit serving state government agencies, our website needed to meet strict accessibility standards while still being easy for our team to update. FlintHorn built us a site that's WCAG compliant out of the box, loads instantly, and finally ranks for the program-specific terms our constituents are searching for. The difference in inbound inquiries has been significant.”
“We were losing east metro searches to competitors with inferior services but better websites. FlintHorn rebuilt our site with local SEO baked into every page — proper schema, location-specific content, and a technical foundation that actually passes Core Web Vitals. Within three months we were showing up in the top three for every service term that matters.”
Most St. Paul web design projects with FlintHorn range from $5,000 to $25,000 depending on scope, number of pages, and whether SEO and content strategy are included. We provide a detailed proposal after an initial consultation — no ballpark guesses or surprise invoices.
Yes. Every site we build meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards by default — proper heading hierarchy, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, color contrast ratios, and alt text on all images. For St. Paul nonprofits and government-adjacent organizations, this isn't optional. Learn more about our ADA compliance services.
Typical timelines are 4 to 8 weeks for a standard business website. Larger projects with custom functionality, content migration, or extensive SEO work may take 8 to 12 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline before starting — and we stick to it.
We work with professional services firms, healthcare practices, nonprofits, law firms, and growing businesses across the east metro. If your organization needs a website that ranks, loads fast, and meets accessibility standards — we're a good fit. See our full list of services.
We don't treat SEO as an add-on. It's built into the site architecture from day one — heading structure, internal linking, schema markup, page speed, and crawlability are all handled during development, not bolted on after launch. You can read more about our technical SEO approach.
