Cohlab
Who We Are
We are hard-core website heroes dedicated to helping businesses. Born of frustration with the status-quo, Cohlab became a way to increase transparency and communication in the website-building process, while providing digital marketing expertise.
Co-founders Heather and Cliff Robbins watched a relative’s business struggle with mounting costs and poor communication during a website build process, followed by a lack of digital marketing assistance to the fledgling website.
Heather and Cliff created Cohlab to listen to the struggles, hopes, and dreams of American small businesses. The dynamic duo committed to providing consistent, clear direction and communication, and bringing their client’s efforts to fruition with a new website and effective marketing strategy.
Our team is based in Minnesota but operates remotely across the region. We’re ready to help you at a moment’s notice – just turn on the Cohlab-Signal™. We produce our websites and digital marketing locally, organically, and with fair-trade* practices. Cohlab is a woman-owned business, a Google Partner, and a Grow With Google Partner.
*Not actually Fair Trade Certified™ or associated with Fair Trade USA® in any way.
Truth. Justice. And The American Way.
