Twin Cities development shopOn the web since 1995
We build the websites and apps your business runs on.
Sprung Interactive is a Minneapolis software studio. We design and build websites, web applications, and mobile apps for small businesses, big brands, and the agencies behind them. Then we keep them accessible, secure, and easy to find. We've been building for the web since 1995 and we still like this stuff. Weird, we know.
What we build
If it runs in a browser or on a phone, we can build it.
Our unofficial motto: we can do anything with enough time and budget. The budget part is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

WordPressKind words
What clients say about working with Sprung.
Twenty years ago I interviewed three highly recommended website developers. I chose Clay Johnston, and hit it out of the park. We've been collaborating ever since. The man is highly skilled at his craft - web design, user experience, programming - and constantly thinks of a better way to accomplish things. He can explain the nerdy-tech part of his industry in terms I can understand. Integrity through the roof. Tries his level best, admits when he's wrong (seldom happens) and never boasts about how flippin' brilliant he is. One of the finest individuals I've encountered in my career. You can't go wrong with Clay.
I’ve worked with Clay Johnston for more than 10 years, across two different companies, and I tell everyone the same thing: he’s an absolute unicorn. It’s SO rare to find a developer who can tackle anything complex you throw at him and is also genuinely fun to work with. He’s an absolute professional and has the ability to put everyone around him at ease. We simply couldn’t do what we do without him. He’s the best!
Clay has been an invaluable partner, serving as the developer and technical lead for our client’s website with exceptional expertise and attention to detail. He is highly responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, and is truly a treat to work with. I highly recommend him!
Why Sprung
Easy to work with. Easy on your budget.
We work hard to make every project feel easy on your end: clear estimates, quick replies, no drama. And since we don't pay for fancy offices and layers of management, our pricing comes in under the big shops. Same experience. Same execution. Less overhead.
On time, on budget
You get a real estimate up front, and we stick to it. No surprise invoices. It's a big reason our clients stay with us for years.
We speak human
No jargon, no 40-page status reports. Ask a question, get a straight answer in plain English. Fluent in developer too, if you need it.
A team built for your project
For bigger builds, Clay brings in senior developers he's trusted for years. You pay for the people your project needs, and nobody else.
Our apps
We build our own apps, too.
Mostly for musicians, because we are musicians. Running our own products means we've lived through every launch, bug report, and 2 a.m. "is the server down?" text.
