Web design in Illinois
Illinois has no shortage of web agencies. It has a shortage of ones you can phone.
I am 238 miles north of the middle of Illinois, on the same clock, and I am one person rather than a department. That is the whole pitch, and the distance is on the drawing above so nobody has to guess.
- You reach the person who built it, not a ticket queue
- $0 down and $300 a month, month to month
- Central time, so your morning is my morning
Working with someone this far away
The Chicago market is loud. This is the quiet version.
Illinois businesses get pitched by more agencies than anyone else in the Midwest, and most of those pitches involve a team, a process document, and a retainer. Mine involves me. I design it, I build it, I host it, and when something breaks at seven in the morning you are texting the person who can fix it.
Being 238 miles away is not a problem I need to talk you out of, because the work was never going to happen in a room. It happens in a browser you can open from anywhere. What distance genuinely rules out is me showing up in person, and I would rather be straight about that than promise a visit I will not make.
Illinois keeps Central time, same as West Bend, so there is no window to work around at all.

The questions Illinois owners ask first.
North Web Dev, a one person web design studio in West Bend, Wisconsin, 238 miles north of the middle of Illinois. I design, build, host, and maintain custom sites for Illinois businesses. The plan is $0 down and $300 a month, and custom builds start at $3,000.
Because you get the builder rather than an account manager. A small Illinois agency puts a team between you and the work, and a large one puts three. Everything else, the design, the hosting, the edits, happens in a browser, which does not care which side of the border it opens on.
The same as everywhere else I work. The plan is $300 a month with $0 down, month to month, covering design, build, hosting, maintenance, and routine edits. A one time custom build starts at $3,000. There is no travel charge and no big city markup.
Yes, and with businesses in Aurora, Naperville, Joliet, Rockford, Springfield and anywhere else in the state. There is no separate Chicago rate and no separate Chicago process. It is the same build, the same price, and the same person answering the phone.
Across the state
Same work, wherever in Illinois you are.
Clients come from anywhere in the state, Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, Joliet, Rockford and Springfield included. Every one of them is on the same clock as West Bend, and every one of them gets the same build, the same price, and the same person answering.
No Illinois clients yet, and no invented ones either.
Illinois is new ground for this studio, so these are founding client terms and the list is short on purpose. Plenty of agencies would show you a wall of logos here. I would rather show you the terms, which are $0 down and cancel any month, and let those do the work.

Describe the business and I will tell you exactly what I would build, and what it costs.
