Websites for small businesses, built and run for you
Tofte Ventures designs, builds, and hosts websites for small businesses, trades, and professionals. You get a fast site that works on a phone, is built to be found in search and described correctly by AI assistants, and sends every enquiry straight to your inbox. Domain, email, and hosting are handled, and you own all of it.
Fixed price in writing before any work starts. We are in Excelsior, Minnesota, and build for businesses anywhere.
What every site includes
Designed around your customers
What you do, where you do it, and how to reach you, laid out for a phone first and a desk second.
Fast, complete pages
Pages arrive as complete HTML, so they load quickly and search engines and AI assistants can read every word of them.
Domain, email, and hosting
Your domain, a business email address, hosting, and HTTPS, set up and run for you, from one vendor on one bill.
A contact form that cannot lose a lead
Every enquiry is emailed straight to your inbox with a subject line one filter can flag, and if email is ever down the enquiry is kept rather than lost.
Built to be found in search and by AI
Structured data that says who you are and what you offer, a sitemap, share cards, crawler rules that let AI assistants in, and an llms.txt for language models.
Analytics and security
Google Analytics so you can see what brings people in, plus security headers and limits on the contact form that keep spam out.
Changes when you need them
Want something changed? Email us and it gets done. Hosting, updates, and small changes are covered by a flat monthly fee.
Yours to keep
You own the site, the domain, and the code. If you ever leave, all of it comes with you.
How it works
1. Tell us about your business and what the site needs to do. A few sentences is plenty.
2. Get a written quote. Fixed price, clear scope, a timeline. The quote is free and there is no retainer to start.
3. We build it, you review it, it goes live. Keep us on to run it, or take it and go.
See one
liatrislandscaping.com is the site for our own restoration business, and the site you are reading is ours too. Both were designed and built here, and we run them day to day: hosting, contact forms, analytics, and the search and AI groundwork.

Questions
What does a website from Tofte Ventures include?
Design, build, your domain, a business email address, hosting, a contact form that emails every enquiry to you, structured data and an llms.txt so search engines and AI assistants can describe you, Google Analytics, and changes after launch.
Who do you build websites for?
Small businesses, trades, and professionals: anyone who wants a site that looks like a real company and never wants to have to think about it.
How much does a website cost?
Every site gets a fixed price in writing before any work starts, based on what it needs. The quote is free, usually back within two business days, and there is no retainer to start.
Do you only build websites for businesses in Minnesota?
No. We are in Excelsior, Minnesota, and build websites for businesses anywhere, remotely, by email and by calls in your timezone.
Will my website show up on Google and in AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini?
Nobody can honestly promise a ranking. What we control is that every page can be fetched and read: complete HTML, structured data that says who you are and what you offer, a sitemap, crawler rules that let AI assistants in, and an llms.txt. We build that in from the start and keep it accurate as the site changes.
Can you fix or replace a website I already have?
Yes. We can start with an audit of what is there (broken links, how it behaves on a phone, security headers, and what search engines and AI assistants can see), then fix it or rebuild it.
Who owns the website?
You do: the code, the content, and the domain. If you leave, it comes with you.
What happens after the site goes live?
We can keep it running: hosting, updates, fixes, and small changes for a flat monthly fee. Or take it and go.
Need more than a website? We also build internal tools, online stores, and automation. See every service.
