Company Description

Blue Ox Websites & Marketing is based in Minnesota, with remote employees across Central Minnesota and the Twin Cities. We love helping small businesses, startups, and nonprofits get found online so they can spend less time worrying about their website or marketing and more time serving customers.

Large corporations often overshadow American small businesses. We help you get found by the right people and grow your business online without getting lost in the noise.

We’re dedicated to strengthening our local economies and communities, which calls for resilient businesses. Most of our clients stay with us for 4 years or more, not just because we build great websites, but also because we remain responsive, reliable, and invested in their success. Even if your service is charitable, your community still needs to be able to find you, support you, and contribute to your cause. We empower nonprofits with user-friendly websites and straightforward marketing guidance, helping them reach communities that need them most.

Mission
We build innovative websites and honest marketing strategies to help small businesses and nonprofits grow—and make a bigger impact in communities.

Vision
We’re here to grow alongside local small businesses and nonprofits, building lasting partnerships that help communities thrive.

Guiding Values
Creativity: Custom solutions, not cookie-cutter.
Reliability: We show up and follow through.
Approachability: No jargon, no gatekeeping.
Community: We grow with the businesses and nonprofits we support.
