Apple Valley took its name from Orrin Thompson's housing development, which borrowed it from Apple Valley, California. County Road 42 and Cedar Avenue cross in the middle of the city, and its downtown, its main retail corners and the METRO Red Line all sit along them, so your customers size you up against businesses a few blocks down the same road.

Apple Valley, corner by corner

Where Apple Valley does business
AreaWhat's there
Cedar AvenueThe main north–south road. The METRO Red Line has run along it since June 2013, with Apple Valley stops at 140th Street, 147th Street and the Apple Valley Transit Station.
DowntownThe municipal center on 147th Street West and the shops and restaurants around it.
County Road 42The east–west retail road, with shopping on every corner where it crosses Cedar Avenue and more near Galaxie Avenue.

Each of those areas asks something different of your website. Red Line riders need walking directions from the station. Downtown walk-ins need storefront photos and parking notes. Shoppers comparing stores along 42 need prices and hours they can check at a glance.

Web design that answers Apple Valley's Saturday searches

Picture a family walking out of the Minnesota Zoo on a Saturday, searching for lunch before the drive home. The places that show a menu, hours and a map pin on the first screen get that visit, and the ones that make people dig lose it to the next result. Every site we build is held to that first-screen standard, and our small business website checklist spells it out. Reviews settle the rest of the decision, and review requests from our CRM platform make asking for them routine.

Apple Valley pages we've already written

Phantom Fades' Apple Valley page (opens in a new tab) sends drivers west on County Road 42 and names Cobblestone Lake and Palomino Hills. V the Barber's is one of 7 city pages in his service-area hub. The Phantom Fades and V the Barber case studies show how both came together, and our local SEO work is how pages like these get written for your business.

If your shop sits on Cedar, on 42 or near a Red Line stop, answer four quick questions and your free homepage preview will put that location front and center.

Questions Apple Valley owners ask

What should an Apple Valley shop budget for a website?

Budget from $500 for the one-time build of a small local-business site, plus a care plan from $75/mo covering hosting, security, updates and 2 content edits a month, with no long-term contract. For a shop on Cedar or County Road 42, that starting build covers what drivers and Red Line riders look for first: hours, prices, directions and one-tap booking. Anything larger, like an online store, is scoped on a short call, and the pricing page lays out every option.

Do I have to write my own website content?

No. We draft the pages from a short conversation and what you already have, like your Google profile, menus, price lists and photos, and you correct anything we got wrong. You keep ownership of your domain name and of your content: photos, text and logo.

Should my site mention Lakeville, Burnsville or Rosemount?

If you really serve customers there, yes. County Road 42 links Apple Valley with Burnsville and Rosemount, and Cedar Avenue runs south into Lakeville, so your customers may well cross city lines. Name those cities on your services page, and give the most important ones their own page with real detail.

What if I don't like the site you build?

You'll know before you pay. We build a free preview of your homepage and you look it over on your own phone. Love it: half to finish, half at launch. Not for you: you owe nothing.
