Web design in Farmington, from just across the city line.

Farmington is a small-business town full of young families. The 2020 census counted 23,632 residents with a median age of 35.3, and 44.9% of households had kids under 18. A 2023 Business View Magazine profile (opens in a new tab) described the city as primarily made up of small businesses, with the school district as its largest employer.

01Farmington web design for both sides of County Road 50

County Road 50 splits the city in two. Most of the newer neighborhoods sit north of it. South of it is downtown, where the Exchange Bank Building has stood on Third Street since 1880 and Third and Oak Streets still anchor the business blocks.

A Farmington site has to work for both halves. The customer walking Third Street needs hours, directions and a reason to come in. The family comparing options from the couch north of 50 needs a clear list of services, real photos and a way to book without calling. Downtown is also changing: the city adopted a redevelopment plan in 2016, and a 74-unit apartment building opened at Elm and Third Streets in 2024, putting more neighbors within walking distance of those storefronts.

02When the whole town comes out

Dew Days takes over downtown and the Dakota County Fairgrounds each June, and the county fair itself has been held in Farmington since 1869. If you run a booth at either, a QR code on your table that opens your booking page, or a page built for that weekend, lets people book before they walk away.

03Home-based and on the road

Much of Farmington is residential, and plenty of its trades run from a home office or a truck. You don't have to publish a home address to show up on Google; a service-area listing works instead, and our Google Business Profile checklist walks through the setup. What belongs on the site is the ground you actually cover: the newer neighborhoods north of County Road 50, downtown and the blocks around the fairgrounds, and Empire, Lakeville or Rosemount if the work takes you there. Our page on home service websites covers what else a trade site needs.

04A Farmington restaurant we built for

Farmington Steak House, on 3rd Street downtown, has been open since 1986. We built its site before the family had agreed to anything, and it went live on farmingtonsteakhousemn.com on September 23, 2026, the day the owner said yes. The menu matches the printed flyer, the homepage says whether the restaurant is open right now, and the Visit page tells first-timers it's cash and check only before they drive over.

We've also written a Farmington page for a client outside the city. Phantom Fades, the Burnsville barbershop, has one that went live the day the shop signed. It routes drivers up Highway 3 to County Road 42 and mentions downtown and the fairgrounds, the places a Farmington reader actually knows.
