How much does a website cost for a small business in Illinois?
Our business websites start at $500. Ecommerce, custom and larger projects are quoted to fit what you need, so you only pay for what the project requires. The final price depends on the number of pages, the features you need and how much content we need to create.
What is included in a $500 business website?
A business website from $500 includes a custom design for desktop and mobile, a fast, mobile-first WordPress build, basic on-page SEO set up, contact forms and tracking, and speed optimization and launch testing. Final scope and price depend on your project, and we agree them before we start.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most small business websites take a few weeks from kickoff to launch. The biggest factor is how quickly your text and photos are ready. Larger custom and ecommerce projects take longer, and we give you a clear timeline once we know what you need.
Should I use a DIY website builder or hire a web designer?
A DIY builder can work if you have the time and want to learn. If you would rather spend your time running your business, a web designer does the work, builds SEO in from the start and tests the site properly. We are happy to talk through which fits you.
Do you provide website hosting and maintenance?
Yes. We provide hosting and maintenance after launch, so your website stays online and up to date. Ask us what fits your site and we will explain the options clearly.
Will my website be mobile friendly and show up on Google?
Yes to both. We design mobile-first and test on real devices. We also build SEO in from the start, with a clear page structure, fast loading and basic on-page SEO. No one can guarantee a Google ranking, but a well-built site gives you a strong start.
Can you redesign my existing website without losing my rankings?
Yes. A redesign is risky if redirects and page titles are missed, so we review what ranks today, keep what works, set up redirects and check indexing before and after launch.
What is the difference between WordPress and Shopify?
WordPress is flexible and great for business websites and content, and with WooCommerce it can run a store. Shopify is built for selling products and is quick to launch. We build on both, and we will recommend the one that fits how you work.
Do you build online stores?
Yes. We build stores on Shopify and WooCommerce, and custom online stores. Ecommerce projects are quoted to fit what you sell and how you sell it.
Do you build landing pages?
Yes. A landing page is a focused page with one goal, such as a call, a form or a booking. It works well for ads, offers and new services.
How do I choose a web design company?
Look at their work, ask who will do it, ask what is included and what it costs, and ask what happens after launch. Choose a team that explains things plainly, tests properly and offers hosting and support. Beware of anyone who guarantees a Google ranking.
Do you work with businesses across Illinois?
Yes. We are based in Canton, Illinois, and work in person with nearby businesses and with businesses across Illinois. See our web design in Canton, IL page, and our SEO services in Illinois to help your new website get found.
