About North of Right
I'm Seth Aho. I'm based in Cottage Grove, MN, and have spent the last 15 years working as a software engineer. I build and manage secure, fast websites for small businesses that depend on their site to bring in work.
I work with law firms, contractors and small businesses of every kind. What they all have in common is a site that has to earn its keep. When someone looks you up and decides in seconds whether to call, the site either helps you or costs you.
The work
Every site is a set of static pages served from hosting close to your visitors. Contact forms route directly to your inbox. You own your domain and your code from day one. There's no database and no login system which means there are fewer places for something to go wrong.
Ongoing hosting and upkeep runs $45/month. That includes uptime monitoring, regular checks that your contact form still works and small updates each quarter. See the pricing page for details.
Before North of Right I helped build the data pipelines and internal systems businesses ran on every day. I hold every job to that standard.
Based in Cottage Grove
I've lived in Cottage Grove for over five years and know the businesses and community that make up the Twin Cities south suburbs.
Most of my work is with businesses in the east metro: Woodbury, Oakdale, Lake Elmo, Stillwater, White Bear Lake, Maplewood, Newport, Hastings and Cottage Grove.
Who I work with
- Law firms. Documented ownership of your domain and your site, monitored form delivery and no platform lock-in.
- Contractors and home service businesses. Fast sites that show up in local search and send leads straight to your inbox.
- Any small business where a form submission that never arrives means a client you never hear from.
How it's built
- Static pages built once and served fast
- Hosting on a global network with security built in
- Nothing to patch and no software updates to chase
- If something breaks, I can roll it back to a working version
- You own the domain and the code. If you ever leave, you get a full copy of the site to take with you
