A free website build for 3 local businesses

We're a new studio in Brainerd, and we want our first portfolio to be real local businesses, not samples. Three businesses in the Brainerd lakes area get their website built free, and we get to show it off.

The deal

What you get, and what we ask

You get

  • A custom, phone-first website, built free (no $297 launch fee; normally $497)
  • Tap-to-call, a quote or booking form, and Google-ready business info
  • A preview first: you see the whole site before you decide anything
  • Same care plan as every client: $39/month for hosting, security and small edits, starting when your site goes live. Cancel anytime.

We ask

  • Permission to feature your site as a case study on our website and social pages
  • An honest quote about working with us (we note that your build was free)
  • A small "Website by Doorway Web Co." link at the bottom of your site
  • That's it. We never ask for reviews in exchange for anything.
Who's a fit? Local businesses in the Brainerd lakes area (Brainerd, Baxter, Nisswa, Pequot Lakes, Crosslake, Crosby and nearby) that have no website, or a site that isn't working for them. We pick 3 so each one gets our full attention.
How to apply: request a free preview. We build it from your real services, photos and reviews, and if you love it, we'll talk about making yours a showcase project. Get my free preview →
