Do you work across the Twin Cities, or only in Minneapolis?

I work across the Twin Cities. I live in Northeast Minneapolis and take projects in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the suburbs. The services are the same in each place: custom websites, WordPress, Shopify, refreshes, and repairs.

Do you work with St. Paul businesses?

Yes. St. Paul companies hire me for new websites and for fixes to sites they already have. We can meet in person or start with a call. You still review the site in the browser while it is being built.

Can we meet somewhere other than Minneapolis?

Yes, when a meeting is worth the drive. I am based in Northeast Minneapolis and meet clients around the metro. Plenty of projects never need a meeting and run by email, phone, or video instead.

What should a Twin Cities business hire you for?

Hire me when you need a new custom site, a WordPress or Shopify build, a refresh of a site that feels dated, or a repair because the site is down or broken. I send a fixed price before work starts.

How is this different from hiring a Minneapolis-only developer?

It's still me. The Minneapolis page is for city clients who want a local developer. This page is for the wider metro, including St. Paul and the suburbs, with the same direct working style and the same services.

Web developer for the Twin Cities

I'm Alan Swenson. I live in Northeast Minneapolis and build websites for businesses in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and across the Twin Cities metro.

Minneapolis and St. Paul

The same developer for businesses on either side of the river

The suburbs

Projects for companies outside the two downtowns, without a separate vendor

In person or remote

A local meeting when it helps, and browser reviews the rest of the time

One scope, one price

A written plan and a fixed price before the build starts

Website services across the metro

The same hands-on build, whether you are in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or a suburb

Custom websites

A site designed around your business, not a template with your logo dropped in

WordPress

New WordPress sites, and repairs when a metro company's site is down or hacked

Shopify

Shopify stores for Twin Cities brands that sell online and in person

Repairs

Broken, slow, or outdated sites restored so customers can use them again

Refreshes

An older site updated in place when a full rebuild is more than you need

Found in search

Clear pages, fast load times, and answers written so search and AI tools can cite them

A Twin Cities developer, not a distant agency

Local enough to meet, set up to work with any business in the metro

Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding suburbs

Direct contact

You email and call the person who writes the code

Fixed price

Scope and price are agreed before the project starts

How a project works

Meet locally or start online. The rest of the work is easy to follow.

1

Share the goal

Describe the business, where you are in the metro, and what the site should do.
2

Proposal

You get a written scope, timeline, and fixed price. Nothing starts until you approve it.
3

Review in the browser

I build the site and you click through it as it comes together, from Minneapolis, St. Paul, or anywhere else.
4

Launch and handover

I launch the site and leave you with a working result, plus a short window for follow-up fixes.

Based in Minneapolis, working across the Twin Cities

Home base is Northeast Minneapolis. St. Paul businesses and companies in the suburbs get the same work: custom sites, WordPress, Shopify, refreshes, and repairs.

In-person meetings are straightforward anywhere a short drive covers. If you would rather not meet, the project still moves, because you review the real site in your browser.

WordPress repairs are guaranteed

New sites are priced up front. If I take on a WordPress repair and cannot fix it, that repair is covered by a money-back guarantee.
