Local work that earns the next step.

C&C Detailing

An automotive and marine detailing website built around service clarity, visual proof, and quote requests. The Channahon-based detailing business serves vehicle owners across the Joliet-area market.

Frontstage organized the automotive and marine services, brought real project imagery forward, and built a direct quote-request path. Visitors can understand the service, inspect completed work, and move toward an inquiry without hunting through the site.

Built around the decision your customer needs to make.

A customer comparing Joliet businesses needs to know what you do, whether you serve them, and how to get in touch. A contractor may need project photos and a quote form. A restaurant may need an easy-to-read menu. I design the website around the next step that matters to your business.

  1. Understand your services and whether you cover their part of the Joliet area

  2. Compare real project photos, customer reviews, and pricing or package details

  3. Call, book, request a quote, or plan a visit from a phone

I recently had my website all reconstructed by this company. They did fantastic! Very easy to work with, quick response, and reasonably priced. Couldn't be happier with outcome. Truly appreciate the work! Thank you.

Made for the way Joliet does business.

Work directly with me from the first brief through launch. We start with your services, photos, and current website, then agree on the pages and customer actions that need attention. If your business serves Joliet and nearby towns such as Shorewood, Channahon, or Plainfield, the site can make that coverage clear alongside your actual work and contact details.

  • New small-business websites with services, project photos, contact details, and clear next steps
  • Website redesigns for WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify, Wix, and custom sites
  • Mobile layouts that make menus, booking links, and quote forms easy to use
  • On-page SEO foundations, with ongoing local SEO available as a separate service

Questions Joliet business owners usually ask.

Straight answers before you spend time on a proposal or sales call.

How much does web design cost for a Joliet business?

A Starter Website is $500 for up to four pages using a proven layout system. Custom Websites start at $1,250, and a focused Shopify Online Store is $1,000. Existing-platform redesigns and larger projects receive a custom quote. Your scope and price are agreed before design starts.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Yes. I work with existing WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify, Wix, and custom websites. We review the pages, content, and integrations worth keeping, then plan improvements to the design, navigation, mobile layout, and contact path. Platform redesigns are quoted for the specific site.

Will I work directly with the website designer?

Yes. You work directly with me, Alec, on the brief, design, feedback, and launch. Share your current website, the services or products you sell, and what customers should be able to do. I’ll help you choose a scope that fits the project.

How long does a small-business website take?

A focused site often takes 1–2 weeks once content and feedback are ready. A larger redesign, online store, or site with additional integrations can take longer. We agree on the schedule with your scope before work starts.

Does website design include local SEO for Joliet?

Each build includes basic technical and on-page SEO foundations, such as page titles, clear headings, mobile layouts, and an indexable site structure. Google Business Profile work, deeper keyword research, additional location content, and ongoing SEO are scoped separately. Search rankings are not guaranteed.

Who owns the finished website?

Rights to the finished deliverables are set out in your written project agreement. We confirm the handoff, account access, and any third-party platform or asset licenses before work starts.

Can you help with maintenance after launch?

Yes. The first month of hosting is included with a website launch. Ongoing hosting support, basic upkeep, and small edits start at $50 per month, with the scope agreed separately. Larger changes are quoted separately.

Joliet is one part of the map.

Frontstage also works with businesses in Shorewood, Plainfield, Lockport, New Lenox, Channahon, Romeoville, and throughout Chicagoland.
