## For Businesses

### Website Design & Development

Custom sites, built and maintained end-to-end.

Whether you need a brand-new custom site, an online store, or an existing site that needs attention, I design and build every site myself. Every build is clean, fast, mobile-friendly, and ready for search engines and AI from launch, with real metadata and structured data (schema markup) baked in instead of bolted on afterward. As a freelance Next.js developer in the Chicago area, I build high-performance custom web applications, mobile apps for iPhone and Android with React Native, editable sites on WordPress and headless CMS platforms like Strapi and Prismic, and online stores on Shopify, BigCommerce, and Wix. More than 20 years of hand-coding websites, combined with AI-assisted development, gets new sites built faster than ever without cutting corners.

### Search + AI Discovery

Get found on Google, and in the answers AI gives.

A great site doesn't help if no one finds it — whether they're typing into Google or asking ChatGPT for a recommendation. I offer three ways in, depending on where you're starting from: a free look at what's holding your site back, a one-time pass to fix it, or ongoing monthly management to keep improving. And because customers find you on maps and directories too, I can manage your listings beyond your website.

### Email Marketing

Stay in front of customers who already know you.

Your email list is the one marketing channel you own outright — no algorithm decides who sees it. I design, write, and send newsletters and promotions, build branded templates you can reuse, set up your email platform, and automate the welcome and follow-up emails that run on their own, for small businesses around Richmond and beyond.

### Location Smart Postcards

Neighbor postcard mailings, fueled by big data.

People pay attention to what's happening on their own street. When you sell a car, install solar panels, or finish a new roof, I send a postcard to the neighbors around that address, with a message written for your business and your offer — for a solar installer, "Your neighbor on Oak Street just went solar. Isn't it time you did too?" Design, targeted list, soft-touch printing, and mailing, handled start to finish — from Richmond, Illinois, for businesses anywhere in the United States.

## Personal & Family

### Greeting Cards

A card for every moment worth marking.

From the biggest holiday mailer of the year to a single birthday card, every card gets the same care with layout, type, and color. Printed cards come in two 5×7 formats: folded (10×7 paper folded in half) or flat and printed on both sides, with options like gold foil, embossing, and heavyweight or recycled cardstock.

### Photo Services

Scan it, repair it, and bring the color back.

Whether you have a shoebox of prints, a torn portrait of your grandparents, or photos that have faded to orange or came out dull on your phone, I can digitize them, repair the damage, and correct the color — so the memories outlast the paper they're printed on.

### Passport Photos

Compliant passport photos, taken wherever you are — by appointment.

Skip the drugstore line. Book an appointment and I'll come to your home or business with everything needed for a passport photo that meets U.S. State Department requirements — and retake it as many times as it takes to get it right. Based in Richmond, serving families and businesses across Northern Illinois and Southeast Wisconsin.

## Signs, Prints & Apparel

### Yard Signs & Posters

Signage that works just as hard for a business as it does for a backyard.

From real estate and grand-opening signs to a graduation poster for the front yard, yard signs and posters get noticed by everyone who walks or drives by — I design and print both for personal occasions and business use around Richmond and across Northern Illinois.

### Banners & Canvas Prints

Big prints for storefronts, events, and the walls at home.

Banners for grand openings, sales, events, and parties, and canvas prints that turn a favorite photo or piece of artwork into something worth hanging — designed and printed for businesses and families around Richmond and across Northern Illinois.

### T-Shirts & Apparel

Custom apparel, designed and printed under my own brand.

One-off tees, small runs, or bulk orders for a team or event — I design the artwork and get it printed on real shirts, not just a mockup, under my own brand: FeedTheFlames.
