Brian Johnson – Founder
Brian Johnson founded PageCrafter in 2011 to help small businesses in the Twin Cities get better, more effective websites. With a background in Business Marketing from the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management and early experience at a small web agency, he built the company around practical, results-driven WordPress solutions.
Over the years, Brian has worked with hundreds of businesses, designing, building, and maintaining websites that are clean, reliable, and easy to manage. His mix of design, development, and marketing experience helps bridge the gap between how a site looks and how it actually performs.

Whether it’s hiking, kayaking, playing guitar, or visiting a new place, Brian brings that same curiosity and attention to detail into his work, always looking for better ways to build and improve websites.

ALL THE LATEST INTERNET TRENDS, DESIGNS, AND TECHNOLOGIES.
By constantly following and actively participating in everything going on in the industry, we always provide the most cutting-edge websites possible.
Responsive design? Parallax scrolling? Triadic Colors? We’ve got you covered. If something has been done on a website anywhere, rest assured, we know about it. That’s because we are constantly researching every new trend and technology to make sure our websites are the very best they can be and provide the greatest, most-current experience possible for you and your visitors.
While we design websites, most of our clients work with us long-term for WordPress hosting and maintenance. We handle updates, security, backups, and ongoing improvements so business owners can focus on running their business.
