Built in Chicago. Built for Chicago businesses.
TLO Web Designs was founded on one belief — Chicagoland businesses deserve the same quality of digital presence as the biggest companies in the Loop, at a price that makes sense for a real small business.

Hey, I'm Ean Willis, founder of TLO Web Designs. Welcome to our digital home, and thanks for taking a minute to see who we are.
We're a Chicago-based digital growth studio built for one reason: to give local businesses the kind of high-performance web presence that usually only big corporations can afford, without the templates, bloat, or agency runaround. We work with everyone from city officials to the local bakery right around the corner.
When you work with TLO, you can expect three things: 100% code ownership of a lightning-fast, custom-built site; modern visibility built for traditional search and AI answer engines; and a team that simply shows up and does the work to help you win online.
Whether you're starting fresh or scaling up, thank you for trusting us with your business. Let's make something great together.
Ean Willis discovered his calling for web design in 2010, after a friend introduced him to building websites. His first three builds lit a spark — and he knew he'd found his craft.
By 2014–2015, Ean was consulting for Korthos Group, a San Francisco Bay Area digital marketing agency, where he spent several years sharpening his skills across web design and online marketing.
In 2016, after refreshing Korthos Group's brand identity, he was invited to the Affiliate Summit's international gathering at the legendary Whisky a Go Go — where he met one of the summit's CEOs and produced a marketing video for that year's Player's Ball.
That momentum led Ean to launch The Lounge Online Marketing. When the venture didn't grow the way he envisioned, he regrouped and founded TLO Web Designs in 2023 — the studio he runs today. Since then, he has delivered work for city officials and top attorneys across the Chicagoland area, building websites and digital systems that help local businesses compete and win online.
