Only problem? Minimal Color Vision!

mount curve press website-build services

I design sites to be fully functional, beautiful, and easy to use. I set out crafting a site for churches or small businesses through establishment of brand informed by mission & vision.

I exclusively work with Squarespace’s platform and am familiar with both 7.0 and 7.1 SS.
I am a Squarespace Circle® site designer. I work from my office in St. Paul, Minnesota, but can provide full builds for churches or businesses anywhere in the country.

I know the challenge behind crafting a website for a church that reflects its values of openness, inclusivity, and God’s love for all. Here’s a link to spy on me. It’s why I do what I do. I served as an ELCA minister for 10 years and know what I’m talking about with grace-centered, progressive theology, and how it relates to the web.

Looks at computer “mice” in a whole new way.

virtual or in-person website training

Using Squarespace as a hosting platform is a snap! It’s easy. It’s flexible. And I’ll train you and your staff how to best use it. If your congregation (or business) falls within 100 miles of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, I’m happy to travel to your location to train pastors and staff (or employees) on site.

During the pandemic, and also for congregations beyond 100 miles, I use Google Meet to conference with you and your team personally. Either way, I’ll give you the rundown with energy and passion to help your congregation or business.

Total fail. He thought all tech solutions could be solved by chewing up the couch.

flexible options, fast updates

Some congregations have opted to keep working with me! (I’m thinking it’s my fun personality. Maybe. Probably.)

Sometimes a central point of contact is helpful for churches who want a responsive presence to upload new material ASAP.

For that, I offer flexible contracts depending on each church’s need. I want to work with you.

Find a solution for you.

 
Dan not only helped dial-in my brand, but taught me how to use my own website myself.
— Timothy Cameron, Cameron Communicationz
Mount Curve Press completely redesigned our website and it immediately made a difference in attracting new people to our congregation. Highly recommended. Hire Dan—you’ll be glad you did.
— Rev. Sue Gravelle, Newport Lutheran Church
We are SO grateful for Dan! He crafted a beautiful and usable website for us. What’s more, he’s been very responsive to our questions and communication. We would not have been able to maintain—and grow—our neighborhood presence during COVID-19 without him!
— Pastor Eric Hoffer, Salem Lutheran Church (N. Minneapolis)
I guarantee one point you’ll love about working with Dan is his energy and enthusiasm in making a website for you. I’ve never worked with my other designers as closely as I did with him.
