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.”
Angelica Lee, Google review
Two online stores for a tool maker whose products are mostly made to order, with quote requests built in.
A brand and website for a new watch-buying advisor, built to turn interest into consultations.
A contractor site built around lead capture, turning local searches into quote requests.
Three ways I can help:
A custom WordPress site designed around your customers and built by the person you talk to. See Chicago web designer.
Site Care: updates tested on a copy first, the site checked afterwards, and a monthly report you can read. Not sure what needs fixing? Start with a website audit.
SEO for Chicago businesses, including how you show up in AI search. See AI search optimization.
