Real Frontstage work for a live-music brand and Channahon detailing business, shown on the screens customers actually use.

Based near Minooka and serving Channahon, Joliet, Plainfield, Shorewood, Lockport, Morris, and surrounding communities.

Local work with a real point of view.

Restaurants, service businesses, shops, and owner-led brands need different sites. These projects use the business itself as the direction instead of forcing the same template onto every client.

What it feels like to work together.

I’m Alec Caldwell. I review every inquiry, build the work, and keep the project conversation clear from the first email.

A clear start. No sales maze.

  1. Send the project details.

    Tell me about the business, the site you have now, the pages you need, and what should feel stronger.

  2. Receive a clear reply.

    I’ll review everything personally and reply by email with any questions, scope direction, and a practical next step.

  3. Move forward if it fits.

    If the direction makes sense for both of us, we’ll turn the request into a defined website project.

Before you send the form.

The questions business owners usually ask before a website project starts, answered plainly.

How long does a website take?

Right now, first drafts are done in 1–2 weeks.

Do I need to provide the writing and photos?

Send what you already have. I can help organize the copy and point out what is still needed, but the final wording and imagery will be reviewed with you before launch.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Yes. I can rebuild an existing site with a cleaner structure, stronger mobile experience, and a more polished visual direction while preserving the business information that still matters.

How do payments work?

Most website projects begin with 50% upfront and the remaining balance is due before launch.

How will we communicate?

Start with the project form and I’ll reply personally by email. That keeps the scope, questions, and next steps clear in one place.

Tell me a little about your business, the kind of website you have in mind, and what you’d like it to help you improve. If you’re not sure about every detail yet, that’s completely fine.

Frontstage is based near Minooka and works directly with local owners throughout the surrounding area.

I’ll read this personally and follow up by email.
