A Web Design Company
Built for Chicago

We write websites by hand for businesses in a city that identifies by neighborhood before anything else. Salons in Wicker Park, tuckpointers in Bridgeport, and law firms in the Loop, all on the same flat monthly price.

Why We Build
Websites This Way

This started with a pattern we kept meeting. A shop on a busy stretch pays four or five thousand for a website, watches it go live, and then finds the real bill: a theme licence, a forms plugin, a booking plugin, hosting renewing at the rate nobody quoted, and a developer charging by the hour to change a price. Two years on the site is slow, half wrong, and costing more than it did to build.

So we do the reverse. One monthly price with nothing up front, every site typed out by hand so there is nothing to subscribe to, and changes handled by email at no extra charge. It works because a hand-coded static site is cheap to host and almost never breaks, which leaves us improving sites rather than repairing them.

Why Work With a Chicago Web Design Company

Why Businesses Hire Us

Pages Written for the Block and the Buyer

We write about actual service boundaries, building types, transit, permits, and customer questions. The city name is never the only local fact on the page.

That matters in a place where Logan Square and Hyde Park produce different searches, different travel decisions, and different expectations.

How We Work With Chicago Businesses

Small Enough
to Answer the Email

We are a small team and we take on a limited number of new sites at once, which is deliberate. It means whoever writes your pages has actually read about tuckpointing or balayage or whatever the work is, and whoever answers your email in March is the person who built the site in January.

It also means we say no. If you need to publish three times a week and edit pages yourself, a page builder is honestly the better tool, and we would rather say that on the first call than sell you something that suits us more than it suits you.

What we are good at is the other case, which covers most businesses here: a site that has to look right, load fast on a phone on the platform, get found in the neighbourhood, and then stay maintained without anybody thinking about it. If that is the job, we would like to hear about it on the contact page.

What Every Web Design Plan Includes

Three Things We Do Not Charge Extra For

The usual quote in this city is a few thousand to build and then a run of invoices nobody mentioned at the start. This is one number a month, and here is what it already covers.

See Pricing

Typed Out, Not Assembled

Hand-typed HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No WordPress, no purchased theme, no plugin subscriptions, and no three megabytes of framework your shop will never touch.

The Server Side Is Ours

Fast hosting with a certificate, patched and watched every month. No hosting bill arriving separately and no renewal jump once the first year is up.

Changes by Email

Email a price change, a new photograph, or a new stylist and it goes up, usually inside two working days. Somebody who worked on the site answers you.

Common Questions

How much does a Chicago small business website cost?

Plans start at $150 a month for up to five pages. Growth is $300 for service and neighborhood depth, and Multi-Location is $550 for larger page counts. Design, development, hosting, maintenance, security updates, and support are included.

Do you use WordPress or another page builder?

No. We write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the site. That keeps the pages small and removes themes and plugins that would otherwise need separate updates.

Can you build pages for the neighborhoods I serve?

Yes. We write each page around real work, boundaries, housing or commercial conditions, and customer questions. We do not duplicate one page and replace the neighborhood name.

Can the site be bilingual?

Yes. We build separate indexable pages for each language and ask a fluent reviewer to approve professional and trade terminology before launch.

How quickly can the site launch?

A five-page project usually takes two to four weeks after we receive the core business information and photos. Sites with many services, locations, or approvals need more time.

Will I own the domain and content?

Yes. The domain stays in your account and the copy and files can be handed over if you cancel. We do not hold the address as a condition of staying on a plan.
