Chicago Web Designer & Developer

I’m John Schuster, a freelance web designer and developer in Chicago since 1999. I design, build and look after websites for small businesses and organizations, and you work with me directly, from the first call to launch and after it.

How I work: changes are made on a private review copy and checked before and after, and nothing goes live until you approve it. AI-assisted tools do the repetitive checking; I make the decisions and review everything. How I use AI.

“My old site was slow and hard to navigate. John improved the accessibility of the site, and made sure everything loads fast.”

John updated and redesigned my author website and did a great job. He is knowledgeable, thorough, creative, and very responsive. As a result, the process went smoothly and quickly, and I couldn't be more pleased with my new website. Highly recommended.

John did a great job migrating my law firm’s website and carefully preserving the content, design and functionality during a transition. He was responsive to my feedback and made the refinements needed to get everything right. I appreciate his professionalism, attention to detail and commitment to completing the project successfully.

Working with John on the development of the website for our 501(c)(3) nonprofit grantmaking charitable foundation has been an excellent experience. As someone with very little experience in website development, I truly appreciated his patience, professionalism, and guidance from the very beginning. He walked me through the process, answered all of my questions, communicated clearly, and was always responsive and helpful. John did an outstanding job bringing our vision to life, with great attention to the content, captions, organization, and overall presentation of the website. He understood the importance of professionally representing the mission and purpose of a nonprofit grantmaking charitable foundation. I am extremely grateful for John’s support and the quality of his work. I would highly recommend him to any nonprofit organization, charitable foundation, business, or individual looking for a knowledgeable, dependable, and trustworthy web developer. I would absolutely work with him again.

I just finished a web design project with John, and I was very happy with how everything turned out. He kept me in the loop and broke the whole project down clearly. I was happy with the updates that we made, and he showed me how to make some of the updates on my own. My old site was slow and hard to navigate. John improved the accessibility of the site, and made sure everything loads fast. He  helped me with SEO and I'm seeing more traffic coming in. When I had questions or needed something adjusted urgentley John got back to me within a few hours which was extremely helpful.

I’m a musician and needed a website and press release. John worked highly collaboratively with me on both, coming up with great visual ideas. But what blew me away was his responsiveness.   If you need it, John will get it to you pronto. John really made me feel I was a priority.

John recently revamped the company website, improved SEO, and just gave it an overall makeover. We had such a great time working together! Comparing this organization to other companies I have worked with, the level of professionalism, patience, and assistance was by far the best I have encountered. They provided ideas, creative initiatives, and much more. They were very thorough, professional, responsive, reliable, and most importantly patient. If you need a website, I highly recommend John Schuster and am looking forward to working with them in the near future on phase 2.
