DeKalb is home base for this page, but the same team builds for Sycamore, Campton Hills, Pingree Grove and Plano too.
Who DeKalb customers are.
DeKalb is home to Northern Illinois University and surrounded by farm country. Students want fast food and rentals; farmers and families want reliable trades. Pages that serve each audience separately work best.

Self-storage facility, Altoona, IA. This one wasn't in DeKalb. The fix would look much the same.
Why the site matters here.
DeKalb searches pull in competitors from all over Chicago. Most of them don't actually say much about DeKalb.
Our first step is a look at the sites already winning your searches. Most are slow, vague or hard to use on a phone. That's the gap we build into.
How DeKalb customers actually search.
Real estate searches in DeKalb split between buyers browsing listings and sellers quietly asking what their home is worth. The seller searches usually make better leads.

DeKalb web design, answered.
What does a website for real estate in DeKalb need?
Home valuation request. A strong seller lead tool. IDX listing search. If your MLS allows.
What does a website for restaurants & bars in DeKalb need?
Online ordering links. To your POS or delivery partners. Reservations widget. If you take them.
Does the season matter for Illinois businesses online?
Brutal winters drive snow removal, heating and frozen-pipe calls, and spring brings roofing and landscaping. Your site should be ready before the busy stretch, not during it.
Can you add a live chat?
Yes, if you'll answer it. An unanswered chat box hurts more than it helps.
Do you work with new businesses?
Yes. A launch site with a clear offer and a way to get in touch is a fine starting point.
Will my site work on phones?
It's designed for phones first, then scaled up.
