Website design · Chicago, ILChicago web design for local businesses.
Phone-first websites for Chicago service businesses, built to turn a Google search into a call, a text or a booking. Starter sites from $599 during the fall sale.
What you get
A site built around how your customers buy
Most local customers decide in a few seconds on a phone. They want to know what you do, whether you serve their area, roughly what it costs and how to reach you. We design every page around those questions, so the call, text, quote and booking buttons are always one tap away.
We don't use generic templates. Your site is designed around your real services, your real photos and the words your customers type into Google, like "ceramic coating near me" or "pest control in Oak Park."

Why local SEO is built in
A beautiful site that nobody finds doesn't bring in work. The setup we use is the same one running on our own Chicago auto business site, refinedautoaestheticsllc.com:
- One page per service with its own title and description, so each one can show up for its own searches.
- Your city and neighborhoods written naturally into headings and copy, not stuffed into a footer.
- Schema markup (LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ and breadcrumbs) that helps Google show richer results.
- Search Console and a sitemap submitted on launch day, so Google finds new pages quickly.
- Call and form tracking in Google Analytics, so you can see which pages bring in customers.

Redesigns
Already have a website that looks dated, loads slowly or doesn't work on phones? We rebuild it on your existing domain and keep anything that already works, like pages Google already ranks. Before we change anything, we check what's indexed today so you don't lose ground.
Common fixes we make: confusing menus, buried phone numbers, missing service pages, broken forms, giant images that slow everything down, and pages with no title or description for Google.
Websites by
industry.
Different trades, different customers. We build around how yours search and book.
Website FAQ
How long does it take to build a small business website?
It depends mostly on how fast we get your photos, services and prices. On the first call we look at what you have and give you a launch date. You see a first design to react to before anything goes live.
What's the difference between Starter and Pro?
Starter is a clean one-page site that gets people to call or text you. Pro adds the parts that help you get found: SEO for your city and services, Google Search Console and Analytics, a quote form that goes to your phone, and a cleaned-up Google Business Profile.
Do I need to write the content myself?
No. Tell us about your business on a call and we write the page copy in plain language your customers use. You approve everything before launch.
Can you add online booking or payments?
Yes. Online booking is an add-on from $150, and we can link the booking tools you already use, like Square Appointments, so customers can book and pay a deposit from your site.
Will my site work on phones?
Every site is designed for phones first, since most local customers find you on a phone. Call, text and quote buttons stay one tap away.
Who hosts the website?
We host on fast, secure hosting. Hosting comes with the Monthly plan, or it's $59 a month for Starter and Pro sites, which includes security updates and small edits.
