Up & Running. Our name. Your Advantage.
Up & Running was founded in 2013 with one guiding light – simplifying the web design process to help local businesses attain a world class web presence.
Your Creative Team
Up & Running Design was established in Bismarck, North Dakota in 2013 with the vision of simplifying the web design process for small business owners and non-profit entities. Our hybrid team of remote professionals provides custom web development and graphic design services for clients across the region. We have refined our process across hundreds of projects to deliver professional, high-impact output on time and at an affordable rate. As a small but mighty agency, we work on a select number of projects, so our focus is always on you!

Our Values
It's EASY at Up & Running
“Easy” is our mantra. Give us the ball and we will run with it, or run along side of us if you like. Either way, we want to demystify and simplify the experience of achieving a world-class online or print presence. We promise no confusing acronyms or computer geek talk (unless that is your thing). We promise to answer the phone. Better yet, stop on by – our door is always open. Inside our office you will find a handful of developers, designers, and thinkers who are eager to collaborate with you on your vision.
