Website design for small business.
We design new sites and fix the ones that stopped working, built to load fast and show up in search. Based in St. Charles, we work with businesses in Geneva, Batavia, the Fox Valley, and across the country.
What we build
Each site is scoped to what the business needs, with no filler pages. Every site ships mobile first and loads fast, because most visitors arrive on a phone and Google measures speed.
- Marketing sites: the site that introduces your business, explains what you do, and makes it easy to call, book, or request a quote. Every page has a job.
- Service business sites: built for trades, clinics, studios, and local firms. Clear service pages, town pages, reviews, and a fast path from search to phone call.
- Landing pages: one page and one offer, matched to the ad or email that sends people there.
Already have a site? We fix websites.
Much of web design is redesign and repair of the site you already have. If you have ever typed fix my website into a search bar, this is that service.
- Slow pages: visitors leave before the page finishes loading. We find what drags and cut it.
- Broken mobile layouts: the desktop view looks fine and the phone view is a mess. We rebuild the layout mobile first.
- Dated design: the site was sharp once and now it undercuts your credibility. We modernize it without losing what already ranks.
- Outgrown templates: a website builder template got you started. Now every change is a fight. We move you to a foundation you control.
- Sites nobody can find: a customer in Geneva or Batavia searches for exactly what you do and you are not there. We fix the structure that keeps you hidden.
Sometimes the answer is a full website redesign. Sometimes a short list of targeted fixes gets you most of the value. The free review tells you which, and either path is quoted as one fixed price.
Built to rank from day one
We plan design and search together. Every site we build ships with clean structure, unique page titles, schema markup, and fast load times. Ranking after launch takes ongoing content and local search work. That is our SEO service, and it picks up where the build leaves off.
How an engagement runs
Every project runs the same way: look first, quote once, build, ship, measure. How we price is on our pricing page.
Free review
We look at your current site and tell you plainly what works, what is broken, and what we would do first. No charge, no obligation.
Fixed quote
One price for the whole scope, in writing. You approve it before anything starts. No hourly meter, no surprise line items.
Build
You see working pages early and can steer while changes are cheap.
Launch and measure
We launch, test every page on real phones, and measure results in your own analytics. You watch the same numbers we do.
You own everything we build.
If a five page site does the job, we quote a five page site. The scope you approve is the scope you get.
At handover you own all of it: the domain, the hosting, the code, the content, and every account, in your name. No lock in. If you ever leave, everything comes with you, and any competent developer can pick up where we stopped.

Every project is quoted as one fixed price after a free review of your current site and a short conversation about what you need. The number depends on scope: a single landing page is a different job than a full website redesign. You approve the quote before any work begins, and it does not change mid project.
That depends on the size of the site. Your fixed quote states the timeline for your project before you commit. The most common delay is waiting on content, so we help you write it instead of waiting for it.
Usually, yes. Slow pages, broken mobile layouts, and dated styling can often be fixed on the platform you already have. The free review tells you which repairs are worth making and when a full website redesign is the better spend. We quote both paths and you choose.
Yes. We design mobile first, so the phone layout comes first. Most local searches happen on a phone, so every page is built and tested at phone sizes before it launches.
Yes. Every site we build ships with clean structure, schema markup, and the speed Google measures, so it is ready to rank on day one. Ongoing SEO is its own service: content built on search demand and local search, measured in your own Google Search Console data. Many clients pair the two.
You do. The domain, the hosting account, the code, and the content are in your name from day one. If we ever part ways, everything comes with you, and any competent developer can take over. No proprietary platform, no lock in.
