TLG Marketing makes websites for Duluth businesses that depend on Lake Superior visitors, regional patients or industrial buyers. We plan and write the pages, build the site, add booking or quote forms and track every inquiry. Our agency, founded in 2006, is located in Long Beach, California, and Duluth projects are run entirely online.
What a website needs to win customers in Duluth
Duluth is a port city, a college town and the gateway to Minnesota’s North Shore, so its websites serve tourists, students and freight buyers alike.
- Bookings that close on a phone. Visitors plan trips to Canal Park and up Highway 61 from their phones, often the same week. Hotels, cabins, charters and tour operators need availability and a booking button that work without pinching and zooming.
- Pages that load on one bar. Cell coverage gets patchy along the North Shore and in the woods around the city. Compressed images and lean code let a traveler outside Two Harbors still see your hours and directions.
- Credibility with industrial buyers. The Duluth-Superior harbor ships iron ore, grain and other bulk cargo, and Cirrus Aircraft builds planes here. Maritime, engineering and aviation suppliers need sites that list certifications, equipment and past projects.
- Both sides of the bay. Customers move freely between Duluth and Superior, Wisconsin. If you serve both, your service areas, licensing and contact details should say so.
How we build a Duluth website
Seasonality shapes the plan. We look at when your bookings or inquiries peak, which pages visitors use in July compared with January, and how people reach you today. Then we wireframe, design and build the site, testing it on phones over slower mobile connections before launch.
Booking widgets, contact forms and call tracking are connected and working on day one, so you can see from launch which pages fill rooms or bring in quote requests. Our page speed work keeps the site quick as you add photos of the lake.

// Questions
Web design in Duluth: common questions
Do you have an office in Duluth?
No. TLG operates from Long Beach, California, and Duluth work is done through video meetings, shared design previews and email, with calls scheduled around your hours, including in the busy summer season.
How should a Duluth lodging business handle the summer rush and the quiet months?
Let the site change with the seasons. In summer, availability, rates and a booking button belong at the top. In winter, the same space can promote ski weekends at Spirit Mountain, holiday events or off-season packages, and we build the site so your staff can swap that content themselves.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on scope: the number of pages, custom features, ecommerce and how much content needs writing. Tell us your budget on the form and we’ll show you what it can achieve.
How long does a website project take?
A small business website takes about two weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger sites with ecommerce, integrations or a lot of content take longer, and your proposal gives the timeline. Getting content and feedback to us quickly is the biggest factor you control.
Can you work on our existing website?
Yes. We can redesign it, improve what’s there, speed it up or move it to a new platform. We start by reviewing the current site so we know what’s worth keeping.
