Website design for small business.
We design new sites and fix the ones that stopped working. Fast, clean, and built to be found. One team for SEO and web design in St. Charles, serving Geneva, Batavia, the Fox Valley, and the western Chicago suburbs.
What we build
Web design services scoped to what a small business actually needs. No bloat, no filler pages. Every site ships mobile-first, loads fast, and stays usable for everyone, because most of your visitors arrive on a phone and Google measures the rest.
- 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, one offer, one action. Matched to the ad or email that sends people there, so the click has somewhere worth landing.
Already have a site? We fix websites.
Most of our work is not blank-page design. It is website redesign and repair: taking the site you have and making it earn its keep. 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
Design and search are one decision, not two projects. Every site we build ships with clean structure, real page titles, schema markup, and the load speed Google measures. That is the foundation. The climb is ongoing work: content built on real search demand and an accurate local presence. That is our SEO service, and it picks up exactly 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
We design and build in the open. You see real pages early and steer while changes are cheap, not after launch.
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.
Some shops pad proposals with pages you do not need, then hold the finished site on a platform only they can run. We do neither. 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.

A strong site works even better with the rest.
SEO

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, which means the phone layout is the starting point rather than an afterthought. 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 real 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.
