Many business owners choose Wix for its simplicity, only to end up with a site that looks generic and unprofessional, but I can do professional web design, and things like Wix are like a kids toy to me.
So whether you need me to redesign your website, or make you a brand new Wix website: contact me by any method above. I can make pretty much anything you can think of, but there are limits to the Wix platform that they set.
Nevertheless, by creating a design tailored to your specific goals: I ensure your business makes a premium first impression that separates you from the competition near the Lake Zurich area.
A common fear is that Wix sites can’t rank as high as other platforms, but this is often due to poor setup rather than platform limitations. I can perform a deep technical SEO overhaul on every Wix project, optimizing your meta-tags, image compression, and header hierarchy specifically for local search intent.
My goal is to ensure that when potential clients search nearby for your services: your site is at the top of the list.
One of the biggest pain points for business owners is "plugin fatigue" or the fear of their site breaking after an update. Wix provides a closed, highly secure hosting environment where security patches and SSL certificates are handled automatically, meaning you never really have to worry about hackers or broken code.
But, all that is a generalization. Anything can be hacked, and anyone who tells you otherwise is either stupid, or lying. But I’ll set up your site so that once it’s launched, you have an asset that you can easily update yourself without the need for a monthly retainer for basic maintenance.
Even so, unless you already have a Wix site, I suggest you get a WordPress site instead, because the problem with things like Wix, Squarespace, and Webflow, are the fact they’re in a closed system. Meaning, that a WordPress site is like buying your own RV that you can take anywhere, but the others are like an RV that they own, and can kick you out of at any time.
All it takes is one person with a chip on their shoulder at the company, and I’ve seen it plenty of times before.
I am not a faceless agency. I am a local partner who understands the unique competitive landscape of the Lake Zurich area, to ensure your digital strategy perfectly aligns with your physical operations.
So if you are also in need of some video production, or a marketing consultation, and a cool logo design: I am happy to travel to you in a roughly 50 miles radius from Lake Zurich.
I show my face (the video up top, and the link below). This hands-on approach builds a level of trust and accountability that remote freelancers simply cannot provide.
IMPORTANT: everything below is subject to payments being made on time, and prompt communication. We will establish those details once we come to an agreement. Also, here is a recent video of me, for a site where I sell kefir grains, in case we meet in person for any of this.
Contract vs. Email: everything is subject to your project requirements, but HUGE projects usually require a small contract in plain English. A typical contract for a large project is about 2-5 pages, but small projects like a basic website can be done through an agreement by email (no fancy contract). It all depends on what you want, but you must pay in milestones as I describe below. Also, if something is NOT in our agreement (via contract or email), then it isn't included in my services. So be clear with what you need, because I only charge based on the specific services you ask for. Anything beyond that may increase the price (though if it's super small and within the scope anyway, I'm probably okay without increasing the price).
Payment milestones: there are usually 2-3 milestones where you pay. They're usually done in 1/2's or 1/3's of the total project price: first to start, second on first draft, and third upon completing everything in our agreement.
Payment types: I accept Cash in USD, Zelle, Credit, Debit, Check, Money Order, Cryptocurrency, Gold, and Silver.
Discounts: you get 5% off if you pay with Cash, Gold, or Silver. All others are 5% more. If you want the discount, we'll meet at a local library room or something similar, and I'll give you a receipt as proof of payment. Although if you do Gold or Silver, I will want to test them first in front of you via sound, weight, and shape.
Time to start: physical payment methods also get me to start the project immediately. Anything else may have a hold until the payment clears (usually 3-7 days).
Time to complete: subject to your project requirements. You will get this in our agreement.
