I'm looking for a few small local businesses...

I've been working on a new website setup specifically for smaller businesses that don't need a huge website or a several-thousand-dollar web project.

I'm especially looking for food trucks and small service businesses that either don't have a website at all, or have one that's old, broken, or just isn't doing much for them anymore.

For a food truck, for example, it could be one simple page with your menu, upcoming locations, photos, social media, catering information and a way for people to contact you. Something that works just as well on their phone as it does on a computer.

I'm looking for a handful of local businesses to work with while I finish rolling this new service out, so I'm offering the first few sites for $599 plus hosting.

No giant website project. No 47-page questionnaire. 😂 Just a simple, good-looking website that gives your customers the information they're actually looking for.

If you own a small business that might be a fit, or know somebody who does, tag them below or send me their business name.

Northern Illinois / Southern Wisconsin preferred.

FixItFriday: Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and your bank will not randomly call you to fix your computer. If someone does, it's almost certainly a scam.
