03 / Local work / Blaine

Websites, brands and software for Blaine.

Blaine is north metro through and through: Anoka County, Highway 65, and just north of the 45th parallel. Its businesses serve the people who live nearby, so the website, the menu and the sign in the window all have to work for regulars as well as first visits.

01 / On the ground

Work in Blaine, and just down the road.

In Blaine we built Blaine Dispensary’s new website and live online menu, run the menus on the TV screens in the shop, and look after its Google Business Profile on a monthly agreement. We also rebuilt its logo as vector artwork and designed its staff lanyards, stickers and an in-store guide to what it carries. For Sunny Smiles Dentistry on County Highway 10, we designed the identity and print and built the practice’s website. A few miles south in New Brighton, we designed apparel and graphics for MN Dispensary Co. and rebranded Moose’s NYC Pizza.

02 / What we build here

Built for regulated retail.

Web Design Branding SEO Software Signage Print

Much of our north metro work is for dispensaries, where Minnesota’s cannabis advertising rules (Minn. Stat. §342.64) limit what a shop can show and say, from its window to its website. We design inside those rules from the first sketch, and connect the live menu to the website and the screens in the shop so they never disagree.

03 / Close to the work

Close enough to stand in the shop.

We are a Minneapolis studio and much of our work is in the north metro. When a menu screen needs changing or a window needs measuring, we can be there, and the work stays looked after on a monthly agreement rather than handed over and forgotten.

04 / Questions

A few useful answers.

Do you work with businesses in Blaine?
Yes. Blaine Dispensary on 125th Ave NE and Sunny Smiles Dentistry on County Highway 10 are both clients, and we work across the north metro and the wider Twin Cities.
Can you look after a site once it is live?
Yes. Blaine Dispensary’s website, online menu, in-store screens and Google Business Profile are all looked after on one monthly agreement.
Do you work with cannabis businesses?
Yes. Dispensaries are a large part of our work. We build within Minnesota’s advertising rules and age gating, and we can connect a live menu to the website and the screens in the shop.
Can you help with Google Maps and local search?
Yes. We set up and manage Google Business Profiles alongside the website, so the hours, address and details people see on the map match the shop.
