What Chicago clients say about TLO Web Designs
A perfect 5.0 rating from the business owners, attorneys, and community leaders we've built for across Chicagoland.
"We are extremely pleased with TLO Web Designs. From our initial meeting with Ean, who visited our office to introduce TLO Web Designs, they immediately began working diligently on our behalf. They successfully migrated us from an outdated platform to our current web pages, and have since built a total of three websites for our firm. TLO Web Designs invested time in understanding our business, resulting in secure, professional websites that truly make us proud. They are a genuine partner to our firm."
"TLO Web Designs has helped me tremendously with creating and constantly updating my websites. TLO's expertise and professionalism has been a must for my business presence. Thank you TLO."
"Ean is a master web designer!! He not only met but exceeded my expectations to my website and I highly recommend his expertise!!"
"Mr. Ean is an absolute treasure in the tech industry! His insight and attention to detail takes the load off my hands with my website."
"TLO designs created a professional landing page for my business! I love the look and easy navigation. I got just what I wanted and you will too!"
"TLO Web Designs were professional and creative. They paid meticulous attention to detail, while keeping my timeline. The communication was easy and hassle free. I highly recommend them for anyone in need of a professional web design."
"This service is wonderful. He did a great job explaining how my website would work. I will recommend this company."
Straight answers to the questions we hear most
How much does a website cost with TLO Web Designs?
Website builds start at $1,100 for a fully custom 1-page Launch site, $3,250 for a 5-page Standard site with schema and animation, $5,900 for a Growth build up to 10 pages with an AI Front Desk Assistant bundled, $8,000 for a fully custom Premium build up to ~20 pages, and $12,000+ for Enterprise builds at 30+ pages. Every project starts with a free consultation and a free homepage demo — you see the work before you spend a dollar.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most Launch and Standard sites launch within 2–4 weeks of receiving your content. Premium and Enterprise builds typically run 4–8 weeks depending on scope. You'll get a clear timeline before we begin — and we keep it.
Do you only work with South Side Chicago businesses?
South Side Chicago is home base and where most of our clients are — but we build for businesses across Chicagoland and beyond. If your business needs to be found, trusted, and chosen online, we can help regardless of zip code.
What is SEO / AEO / GEO?
SEO gets you ranked in traditional Google search. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) gets your business cited in AI-generated answers like Google's AI Overviews. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) positions your content to be referenced by AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude. We build all three into every site — because your customers now search in all three places.
Do I own my website?
Yes. You own your domain, your content, and your site. No hostage situations, no proprietary lock-in, no long-term contracts required.
What is the AI Front Desk Assistant?
It's an AI-powered chat assistant on your website that answers customer questions, captures leads, and books appointments 24/7 — included with Growth-tier builds and up, and available on monthly plans — Existing-Site Growth from $350/mo, No-Site Growth from $600/mo.
What is included in a website build?
A one-time build is your website itself — the design, pages, layout, contact form, mobile optimization, and SEO foundations. You pay once and you own it. Depending on the tier, that ranges from a 1-page Launch site to a 30+ page Enterprise platform. It does not include ongoing marketing — that's what the monthly plans are for.
What is ongoing monthly work?
Monthly plans keep your site working after launch. At the base level that's maintenance and security (Care Plan). As you move up, it adds local visibility and automated reviews (No-Site Growth for new sites, Existing-Site Growth for existing ones), and full growth support like SEO, reputation, social, and content (Growth Partner and Full-Service Partner).
Do I need a monthly plan after launch?
Yes. Websites without ongoing care become security risks, break as browsers and plugins update, and slowly lose search visibility as content stales — problems that compound the longer they're ignored. A plan keeps your site secure and functioning, and keeps you visible, without you having to think about it.
Which plan is right for a local business?
Most local businesses do best starting with a Standard or Growth build, then adding No-Site Growth (new site) or Existing-Site Growth (existing site) — and stepping up to Growth Partner when you're ready to scale — to actually get found and generate leads. Not sure? Book a free strategy call and we'll recommend the right fit — no pressure.
Ready to build something that actually works?
Most Chicago businesses are invisible online. We fix that. Let's talk about what's possible for yours.
