I've had Alex from LegitWebs handle all my websites and advertising for at least 20 years. Don't spin your wheels with other estimates, I did, several times, only to have Alex fix their mistakes. Alex has always been the man behind the scene.

// WEB DESIGN AGENCY · SERVING MINNESOTA
Since 2009, LegitWebs has been the web design agency serving Minnesota that businesses trust for custom, high-performance websites. Every project is built and managed by one developer, no account managers, no overseas relays, no surprise markups
We ship fast, search-ready sites with SEO foundation, schema markup, and machine-readable discovery baked into every build at no extra cost. Businesses across Minnesota get direct access to the developer who builds, hosts, and optimizes their site from day one.
Flat-rate pricing means you know your total before we write a line of code. Managed hosting is included for the trial period; after that, private OpenLiteSpeed hosting continues at $25/mo, a fraction of what managed WordPress hosts charge.

02
Alex is the reason Custom Vehicle Wraps became so popular in the Bay Area. We've contracted LegitWebs for site designs, SEO, landing pages, Google Ads, and Google Apps for email. If you need a web designer or webmaster, look no further than LegitWebs.
03
Alex helped me recover my website and domain after it was lost with GoDaddy. He built a new WordPress site and helped me save money because Yahoo Business was ripping me off. Very honest, I recommend LegitWebs to all local businesses.
04
Alex is ALWAYS prompt when responding to email or urgent situations. LegitWebs redesigned our website and gave me the tools to make updates and blog posts myself. He helps with any tech problem without making me feel stupid, and always has a good attitude with new SEO ideas.
05
Alex proposed an easy-to-use WordPress website that fit my needs on pricing, complexity, and design. After delivery he sat with me for 30 minutes and taught me how to make edits. Excellent service for local business owners, I recommend Alex / LegitWebs.
