Websites built like they’re meant to last.
Ironclad Web Design builds mobile-first, custom-coded websites for Duluth businesses — the kind that load fast, rank locally, and turn visitors into calls. No templates pretending to be custom.
Four services. One goal: a site that works for you.
Every project starts from your business, not a template library. Pick what you need — most Duluth clients start with custom website design services and walk away with all four working together.
Custom Web Design
A site designed around your business, your customers, and what you actually sell — not a stock theme with your logo dropped in.
Mobile-First Build
Most Duluth visitors find you on a mobile phone first. Every page is built and tested for mobile before desktop, not the other way around.
Local Web Design
Pages structured around how people actually search for services in Duluth and nearby Minnesota markets — clear service areas, real local content, no keyword stuffing.
Website Development
Hand-coded front end, clean back end, and a site you actually own — not locked into a builder you can’t move off of later.
Built solid. No shortcuts, no filler pages.
You’re choosing between agencies that have been around for years and someone newer who’s hungry for the work. Ironclad keeps the build practical, personal, and focused on what helps a business website earn trust.
Real code, not a kit 01
No drag-and-drop builder bloat slowing down your pages. Clean, hand-built code that loads fast and is easy to update later.
You talk to the builder 02
No account managers, no hand-offs. The person designing your site is the person you talk to about it.
Priced for where you’re at 03
Straightforward pricing that fits a small Duluth business budget — no inflated agency overhead built into the quote.
From first call to live site.
Free site review
We look at what you have now, or what you need if you’re starting from scratch, and tell you honestly what’s working and what isn’t.
Design & build
A custom layout built around your services and your customers, designed mobile-first and reviewed with you before anything goes live.
Local SEO setup
Your Google Business Profile, on-page structure, and local service pages are set up correctly from day one — not bolted on later.
Launch & support
Your site goes live, you get a walkthrough of how to update it, and you’ve got a real person to call if something needs fixing.

What Duluth business owners ask first.
How much does a custom website cost?
It depends on what your business needs — a simple service site costs less than a full e-commerce build. Tell us what you’re working with and we’ll give you a straight number, not a vague range.
How long does a project take?
Most small business sites take a few weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on how much content and how many pages you need.
Do you only work with Duluth businesses?
Duluth and the Northland are a focus, but Ironclad also works with businesses across Minnesota and nearby markets.
Can you fix up my existing site instead of starting over?
Sometimes. If the bones are solid, we can redesign around what’s there. If the site is built on something outdated or slow, a rebuild is usually faster and cheaper long-term than patching it.
Let’s build something that holds up.
