Who we work with

Local businesses that earned their reputation in person but are hard to find online. If word of mouth has gotten you this far, we make sure people can find you on the web too.

What we do

Everything a local business needs to be found online.

A good website is only worth having if people find it. We handle both: the site itself, and the ongoing work that brings visitors to it.

Why Flaxstar

What it’s like to work with us.

We started Flaxstar because too many small businesses get sold a website they can’t manage, then never hear from the people who built it again. We do things differently.

  • Plain language

    We explain things in plain terms, without the jargon or the sales pressure.

  • Fast and modern

    Pages that load quickly and look right on every screen, from an older phone to a desktop.

  • Local and reachable

    You work directly with us, here in Iowa. Call or email and you reach a real person, not a ticket queue.

  • No surprises

    Clear, predictable pricing. You always know what you’re paying and what it covers.

How it works

Getting started is simple.

  1. 1

    We talk

    A short, no-pressure call about your business and what you want more of. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.

  2. 2

    We build

    We handle the writing, the photos, and the design, and build a website you’re glad to send people to. Most go live within a few weeks.

    With a care plan, we look after reviews, search, and updates, so your website keeps doing its job long after launch.
