Midwesterner. Problem Solver. Political Enthusiast.
Hi, I’m Nick Frandsen.
A web developer & digital strategist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I bring design, development, and digital strategy together to build thoughtful experiences for the web. Professionally, I’ve worked in a range of roles in the web development and digital space. My work has allowed me to learn from amazing clients and coworkers. My main areas of focus are quality code, user experience, and accessibility with an emphasis on finding solutions for those in the progressive and advocacy space.
I love working with good people, whether that’s from a local coffee shop or a coworking space. Away from my computer, you’ll usually find me trying a new restaurant or catching up with friends.

A LITTLE OF WHAT I’M BUILDING
Helping people make technology work for them.
Much of my recent client work was as an engineer at a previous role so I can’t share much about specific clients and projects.
Throughout the years I’ve been lucky to build websites for campaigns of all sizes from Presidentials to U.S. Senate and Congress, to local races like county attorney and mayoral.
I’ve partnered with nonprofit and advocacy organizations to send email campaigns to 100k+ lists, launch digital advertising efforts and measure results with focused analytics data.
In other work, I have developed apps for iPhone and Android, launched custom Shopify sites for ecommerce and developed branded campaigns in political platforms like ActBlue, ActionNetwork, ActionKit and EveryAction.

HappyTap
A better happy hour starts with a better way to find it.
HappyTap is an app for iOS and Android that brings local happy hours into one place, making it easier to discover a new spot, find a good deal, and get your friends together.
It’s a project that brings my interests together: useful digital experiences, a good reason to get out of the house and supporting local businesses + communities.
How I can help
A good idea. The right partner.
A new build, a fresh perspective, or a better way to get things done. Here’s where I can lend a hand.
Web Development
Fast, accessible websites and apps built around real needs. From a custom React frontend to a flexible CMS or Shopify store, I connect the pieces and bring the plan to life.
Web Design
Clear, welcoming interfaces with a strong sense of purpose. Thoughtful layouts, responsive design, and the small details that make a website feel easy to use.
Data + Tooling
Make your tools work together. Custom integrations, practical workflows, and useful reporting that help your team spend less time moving data and more time acting on it.
Digital Strategy
Start with your goals and the people you want to reach. I help connect websites, third-party tools, email, advertising, and analytics into a focused plan you can put to work.
LET’S MAKE SOMETHING GOOD
What do you
have in mind?
A new website, a digital challenge, or the start of an idea. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
