Why Businesses Choose Solid Ground

Based in Spearfish and built on values of integrity, respect, and follow-through, Solid Ground offers honest web design for real businesses.

Honest, Straightforward Process

We believe in clarity from day one. You’ll receive a clear quote, realistic timelines, and practical guidance—without vague “marketing packages” or pressure tactics. Our process is built to help you make smart, confident decisions about your website.

Personal Attention, Professional Standards

With Solid Ground, you won’t be passed between account managers or forced to explain things twice. You’ll work directly with the designer—someone who listens, communicates clearly, and follows through with professionalism and care.

Locally Rooted, Built to Last

We understand the unique challenges and strengths of businesses in the Northern Hills and Western South Dakota. Whether you’re a contractor, tradesperson, nonprofit, or small business, your website will be clean, functional, and built to serve your goals for years to come.

Behind the Business

Solid Ground is a one-person web design business based in Spearfish, South Dakota. Every project is approached with care, respect for your time, and a focus on long-term results—not just launch day. You won’t get passed from sales to production or stuck in support queues. You’ll work directly with someone who’s invested in your success from day one.

We don’t push big-budget packages or add-ons you don’t need. Instead, we design custom WordPress websites that are fast, clean, and easy to manage—built around what actually helps your business grow. You’ll never be upsold on services that don’t serve your goals.

At Solid Ground, we believe in clear communication, practical solutions, and reliable support. That means you’ll always know where your project stands, and you’ll never feel like just another ticket in a system. You’ll get one person—who listens, communicates clearly, and builds your site with purpose.

Why Solid Ground Exists

We all know what it’s like to deal with vendors who don’t listen, don’t respond, push overpriced packages, or offer solutions that just don’t fit your business. Across the industry, the complaints are often the same—poor customer service, outdated methods, and support reps who treat every business the same.

At Solid Ground, we believe your business deserves better.

It’s not enough to be an expert designer. It’s about people. It’s about their goals, their time, and the businesses they’ve worked hard to build. It’s about clear communication, transparency, and responsiveness—values that should be the norm, not the exception.

That’s why Solid Ground was created: to give your business something to stand on. Something you can trust to be reliable and consistent.
