We Know Small Business
After so many conversations with business owners or nonprofits who need a professional website, a few things will keep coming up. If you feel like your website is holding you and your business back, it might be because of one of these common pain points:
Time is Money
And your website takes too much of both.
Site isn't mobile friendly
If you know it, your customers know it.
Need to expand to ecommerce
Convenience is key. People want to do business with you! Let's make it easier for them.
It's tough to plan for the future
Data about customers, sales trends, and ad effectiveness should be a part of monthly review!
Not all websites are equal

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
We are proud to be a small business based in Sioux Falls, SD. That said, Ben Forred is from Aberdeen and has spent his lifetime visiting towns all over the state. The nice thing about South Dakota is that it's all virtually one big town. People know each other here, and they take care of each other, too. So no matter where your business is located (even if it isn't in South Dakota) we're here to become a part of your future success.
Does my business really need a website? I already use Facebook.
Yes! People have the internet in their pockets at all times. When they have a need, they search for businesses "near me" with money in their hand. You want to be at the top of that list!
Facebook and other social media platforms are great marketing tools online, but they'll never be your online home. Facebook lets you use their software for free because they're making a mint off of the data they keep. Wouldn't you rather keep your data and make a bunch of money yourself?
How much does one of your websites cost?
We get this question a lot. The short answer is, "It depends," although that's not what you're looking for.
We don't like to think of websites as a cost; it is an investment. A properly built website will make you money so you'll get a return on what you put into it. That's probably not what you were looking for either, though. So here it is:
Our most basic website packages start at $5,497 with flexible payment options. Functionality and size of the site determine the pricing. Complete our contact form and we'll briefly visit and send you a proposal tailored to your project.
What if I don't know how to take care of a website once I have one?
The hardest part of having a website is not building it, it is all the work and upkeep that the site requires once it is live. Don't worry though, we want to be a part of your success long into the future.
Our Care & Support Plans are designed to take care of the site we build for you from launch day onward. We ensure your site is secure, online, backed up, and monitored. We'll even be around to strategize and make site updates for you each month. Get in touch today to learn about how we'll manage your whole website presence so you can focus on what you do best.
Do you host websites too?
Yes! As a part of our Care & Support Plans we provide hosting, domain management, security sweeps, privacy & cookie policies, ongoing updates and backups, strategy calls, and some time each month to work on updates with you (time depends on the plan you choose.)
How long does it take you to build a website?
Excellent question - We do everything we can to minimize the amount of time the ball is in our court. Most of our projects can be easily completed within 90 days.
Still not sure if you're ready to get started?
The easiest way to see what a project with us might look like is to have a simple conversation! We will stop by the business, or meet you wherever it is convenient, for 30 minutes to get to know you and your business better. We'll follow up with a detailed quote based on our conversation so there won't ever be any surprises.
Here's what some of our clients have to say
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!
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!
I’m thrilled with my new website!
Ben's attention to detail, from color scheme to user-friendly layout, is exceptional. This site will greatly enhance my business’ online presence.
Ben exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend Forred Web Design to anyone seeking a skilled, passionate designer.
