Industries we build for
Five services.
One team.
Most clients use two or three of them together. See all of our web design and AI services on one page.

Social media marketing →One loop.
Five stops.
Send us the photos. We turn them into posts you approve. Your real jobs become posts and pages every month, so customers, Google and AI assistants always see current work.
Capture
Photos and short video from the job site or the shop floor. Phone upload, a shared Drive folder, or a text.
Create
We turn them into posts and pages with AI help, edited by people who know your business.
Approve
You approve it. Nothing goes out without you.
Publish
Your website, Google Business Profile, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
Learn
A monthly report: what got found, and what to post next.
Recent projects.
A few recent projects, described in general terms. We keep client details private.
A custom home builder
A builder with decades of experience needed a site that explains a complex product simply. We built a fast, photo-led site around how people actually shop for a custom build, with plain answers, a clear service area and a short quote form.
A ranch and land brokerage
Ranch buyers can now describe what they want in plain English, such as acreage, water, hunting and distance to town, and get matching listings with a short reason for each match. Built with Claude.
A plumbing and water treatment company
We replaced an outdated site that had no security certificate with a secure, modern one, cleaned up their Google Business Profile, and built a lead page for a new service line.
You talk to
the builder.
We've been building for the web for 31 years, and some clients have been with us for more than ten. Here is why they stay with the small team in Delano behind every project.
You talk to the builder
No relay through an account manager. The people on your calls are the people writing your content and code.
Built for AI search from day one
Clean code, structured data, plain answers and fast pages. These are what Google and AI assistants need before they will cite you.
Working software, early
We use Claude to speed up development, so you see real, working features in weeks and can steer while changes are still cheap.
We stay after launch
We host, secure and support what we build. When something needs fixing, you reach someone who knows your site.
About ten weeks.
Four phases.
Most website projects take about 10 weeks. AI builds run in phases, with a working demo at the end of the first month.
Discover
Goals, customers, competitors and keywords. We agree on what success looks like and how we'll measure it.
Weeks 1 to 2Plan and write
Site map, page outlines and plain-language copy, reviewed with you before any design starts.
Weeks 3 to 4Design and build
Design and development on a private preview site you can click through at any time.
Weeks 5 to 8Launch and grow

What does Five Technology do?
We design and build business websites, help them show up in Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude, run social media for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Google Business Profile, build custom AI tools with Claude, and host and support the sites we build. We are a small team based in Delano, Minnesota.
Where are you located, and do you work outside Minnesota?
We've been in business for 31 years. Our office is at 300 Railroad Avenue, Suite 100 in Delano, Minnesota, just west of the Twin Cities. About half of our clients are outside Minnesota. We work by video call and meet in person when it helps.
What is AI search optimization?
AI search optimization, also called AEO or GEO, makes your business easy for AI assistants and Google's AI Overviews to understand and cite. It relies on clear pages, structured data, accurate business listings and content that answers real customer questions. Read how our AI search optimization works, or browse our insights on websites, SEO and AI search.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the number of pages, who writes the content and any custom features. Most small business websites take about 10 weeks. Call 763-972-6392 and we'll talk it through, or see our pricing page for what each service includes.
Who will I work with?
The same small group from start to finish: a strategist who plans and writes, and the developers who build. There is no hand-off to a separate production team.
