What it costs here ↓Where to go next
The two numbers, and neither of them moves for your ZIP code.
Foundation is $250 monthly with a single $250 build fee. That covers the website, the Google Business Profile, Google Workspace email at your own domain instead of a Gmail, the search work, and an update a month for the asking.
Growth is $500 monthly with a single $500 build fee, and switches on a booking site synced to the Google Calendar you already keep, the CRM, invoicing, card payments, the automatic texts and emails, review requests, expense tracking, the monthly report and the sync to QuickBooks.
A year paid at once removes 15 percent, so $2,550 or $5,100 for the twelve months, which reads as $212.50 and $425 a month with the build kept apart from it. Call answering runs $100 a month if the phone is beating you, review replies $130, and custom work gets a number in writing before anybody starts.
Twelve months on a fixed billing date, and no second invoice arriving from a different company halfway through the month. If you want out early, tell us in writing: you pay the current month plus one more, and the domain, the Google profile and the customer list leave with you.
A village with a mall on one edge and a Main Street on the other.
Yorktown Center opened in 1968 and runs to something like 1.5 million square feet. For a while it was the second-largest enclosed mall east of the Mississippi. A few minutes away, Main Street crosses St. Charles Road in a downtown you can walk end to end inside a coffee break.
Those two things pull at a business from opposite directions. Butterfield and the office corridor bring people who drove in from outside the village and will drive out again without registering what else is here. Downtown brings people who live four streets away and have known your sign for years.
Nearly every owner here is trying to be legible to both at once, and only one of the two can be reached by anything in a window.
Most of what we build here is the first version of everything.
A number painted on a van. A Facebook page last touched in 2022. A Google listing somebody claimed years ago and never filled in, or one the search engine generated by itself that nobody has ever logged into. That's the common starting point in this village, and there's nothing embarrassing about it — the work has been arriving without any of it.
It does mean the first ninety days carry more weight than anything that happens afterward. The listing verified and sitting in your own account. Real prices on a page a stranger can read without ringing. A booking button live rather than promised. Every customer asked for a review from the first week rather than the first good quarter. All four service pages below are written from that standpoint.
What each of the six trade pages is actually about.
A barbershop that opened in March and a landscape crew signing snow contracts in September have almost nothing in common, and neither of them needs a page explaining that websites matter.
So each one takes a single difficult part of that business and stays on it: the first forty haircuts, the lunch order placed at twenty to twelve, the fortnight after the first frost, the Saturday morning with six women and four chairs, the therapist deciding whether to send you her clients, the driveway agreed in autumn and cleared in January.
Four services, and you can buy them one at a time.
Nobody needs all of this in month one, and suggesting otherwise would be a sales tactic rather than advice.
- Website design — the first real site, on a domain registered to you, quick to open on a phone in a parking lot.
- Local SEO — the Google Business Profile claimed, categorized, photographed and then genuinely maintained.
- The CRM — the letters stand for customer relationship management, and in practice it's one list of who you serve, what they paid and when they're due back.
- Booking and payments — an appointment page that works at eleven at night, and a card taken without a second machine on the counter.
Lombard is 44,476 people inside a single ZIP code, 60148, with I-355 running down its western edge, I-88 along the south and North Avenue across the top. The Helen Plum Library and Glenbard East sit in the middle of that, and the Lombard Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry has spent years keeping the business side of it introduced to itself. What no map shows is the split in who walks through your door. One customer has passed your building a thousand times. The next came off an exit, bought one thing, and will never think about the village again.
When you shouldn't hire us.
If you enjoy this part — if you'd cheerfully spend a Sunday evening inside a site editor and would resent paying somebody else to do it — go and do that. The inexpensive tools are good, and you'd be buying back something you'd rather own yourself.
We're also new, which you should hear from us rather than deduce from the absence of logos. There are no client names on this site and no reviews of our own to point at. There are six complete businesses in the Vault instead, and four minutes inside one of them will tell you more than the rest of this page did.
The list starts empty, which is the best possible reason to start it.
Behind the abbreviation is one place holding customers, appointments, invoices and expenses together. A business that has been run out of a phone and a spiral notebook has already lost years of that and can't get any of it back. From the week this is turned on, it's written down: who came in, what they paid, who hasn't been seen since spring. It's registered in your name, so it stays with you no matter what happens between us.
Questions people actually ask
Straight answers.
We've never had a website. Is that a problem?
It's the ordinary case here, and it's easier than inheriting one somebody built badly in 2018. The slow part is usually the dull administration: getting the domain into your name, getting the listing verified, deciding what your services are really called. The building itself is quick.
Do you only work inside the village?
No. Lombard has its own ten pages because businesses here share a particular shape of problem, but we work across DuPage County generally, and out of Glen Ellyn next door.
Foundation or Growth if we're starting from scratch?
Foundation, usually, and we'd rather say that than sell upward. At $250 a month plus the $250 build it makes you findable, which is the piece that's missing. Growth at $500 a month plus $500 is the answer once the phone rings fine and the money side is what leaks. Moving up later turns parts on rather than starting again.
Use one of them properly before you call.
Six businesses were built end to end and left running. Order lunch from the taqueria, book a cut, send yourself a landscape quote — whichever sits closest to your own work. Then ring (331) 291‑7400.
What have you got online right now?
A listing, a Facebook page, nothing at all — tell us which, and we'll come back with where we would start and what it would cost.
A real person reads this and gets back to you within 24 hours. If it's urgent, (331) 291‑7400 rings a phone.
