Meet the owner

As a proud member of the local small business community here in South Dakota, I love to meet other business owners. Hearing about others' goals, strategies, and reasons for betting on themselves is the biggest reason I do what I do. I earned an MBA in marketing from the University of South Dakota and bring that acumen together with my lifelong understanding of South Dakotans to help our clients succeed.

It would be an honor to serve you and your business!

"Ben was very easy to work with. He explained things well so we understood, and made the process a breeze! We very much appreciated his expertise! He helped us get found online with his SEO Boost package, and made time to answer our questions. Ben made sure to understand our opinions."

"Ben had foresight and a keen sense of what was needed and how to make it flow on our site. He was prompt in responses and easy to communicate with. Ben was a pleasure to work with!"

President, South Dakota Doulas

"Ben really knocked this out of the park. I have worked with a lot of service providers over the years and it is hard to find someone who listens to and values your opinions instead of pushing their vision onto the project. Ben was quick to reply, explained everything well, and the website turned out better than I had imagined!"

Joe Barnett
Owner, Magic Joe Productions

"I’m thrilled with my new website! Ben perfectly balanced design and user experience. His attention to detail, from color scheme to user-friendly layout, is exceptional. Ben exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend Forred Web Design to anyone seeking a skilled, passionate designer."

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Forred Web Design different from a bigger marketing agency?

You work directly with Ben himself! No time spent with a rotating account manager. Every website, ad campaign, and SEO plan is built by the same scrappy team, so you can count on consistent results.

Do you only work with businesses in Sioux Falls?

No — we work with small businesses across all of South Dakota! Forred Web Design is here to serve small businesses across the whole state with managing their online presence.

Should I start with Google Ads or Local SEO?

It depends on what your goals are. Google Ads can generate leads within days of launch but carries a financial cost for each click. Local SEO is much more of a slow burn, but keeps generating traffic without paying Google for ads. Many businesses eventually use both. We're here to help you put together a solid strategy for your small business.

Do I need a new website before I start Google Ads or SEO?

Not always. If your current site can support conversion tracking and has high quality content, we can start with Google Ads or SEO first. You can always count on honesty from us. We'll tell you if we think you'd be best served with a brand new site. If we can work with what you have, however, we're going to roll with that!

How much does this cost?

It depends on the service you're interested in and your goals. Website projects start at $1,997 for a single page site. Google Ads management starts at $750/month. Local SEO starts at $1,199/month.
