Websites for Chicago small businesses为芝加哥小商家做网站

When customers search for your shop, they should find your shop.

客人在网上搜您的店,就该找到您的店。

I build clean, mobile-friendly websites in English and Chinese for small businesses across Chicago — restaurants, gyms, salons, clinics, shops. You see a free mockup of your own homepage before you pay anything, so there is nothing to decide on faith.

我为芝加哥各区的小商家做中英双语、手机友好的网站 —— 餐厅、健身房、美发美甲店、诊所、各类店铺。付钱之前,您先看到自己店铺首页的免费样稿,不用凭信任下决定。

What customers see right now

客人现在在网上看到的

Before anyone walks into your business, they look it up on a phone. That search is now your front door — and for a lot of Chicago small businesses, it is a door with nothing behind it. These are the three things I find most often, and what each one quietly costs.

客人上门之前,一定先用手机查一下。那次搜索就是您现在真正的店门口 —— 而芝加哥很多小商家,这道门后面是空的。下面是我最常看到的三种情况,以及每一种实际上在让您损失什么。

No website at all

完全没有网站

Google sends people to a delivery app, a Groupon page or an old directory listing — with wrong hours and no photos.

Google 把客人带到外卖平台、Groupon 或旧的目录页,营业时间不对,也没照片。

Why it mattersA customer who can't find your hours doesn't call to ask. They tap the next result. You never hear about the ones you lost — which is exactly what makes this easy to ignore for years.

为什么重要查不到营业时间的客人不会打电话问,他会点开下一家。流失的客人您永远不会知道 —— 这也正是这个问题能被忽略好几年的原因。

A site that was never finished

网站没做完

Template text still showing, broken social links, a free-builder ad banner, or a 2017 copyright date.

模板占位字还在、社交链接是空的、免费建站平台的广告条,或者版权年份还停在 2017 年。

Why it mattersAn old date is read as "closed, or close to it." You may have spent years building a reputation in person; this is the version of it that strangers meet first, and it is arguing against you.

为什么重要一个旧年份在客人眼里等于「这家可能已经关了」。您也许花了很多年在店里建立口碑,但陌生人第一次见到的是这个版本 —— 而它正在帮您说反话。

"Not Secure" warnings

浏览器显示「不安全」

Older sites without HTTPS get flagged by Chrome and Safari, and customers hesitate to call or book.

没有 HTTPS 的旧网站会被 Chrome 和 Safari 标成「不安全」,客人就不太敢联系或预约。

Why it mattersThe warning appears before anyone has read a word about you, and it lands hardest on the page where they were about to type a phone number. Browsers add it automatically — it is no judgement on your business, but customers can't tell the difference.

为什么重要这个警告出现在客人读到任何介绍之前,而且恰好出现在他要填电话的那一页。这是浏览器自动加的,不是谁对您的店下了判断 —— 但客人分不出这个区别。

Recent work

近期作品

Concept redesigns I built for real Chicago businesses. I didn't ask them for a brief — I found a specific, checkable problem on each live site and rebuilt the page around fixing it. This is the same thing I'd do for you, for free, before you pay anything.

为芝加哥真实店铺做的概念改版。我没有先问他们要什么 —— 我在他们正在运行的网站上找到一个具体、可以核实的问题,然后围绕解决它把页面重做。这也是我会先免费为您做的同一件事。

These are concept designs I made on my own initiative. Each page says so clearly and is not affiliated with the business.以上是我主动制作的概念设计稿,每个页面都注明了与该商家无关联。

Why work with me

为什么找我

I'm Mayson. I'm based in Chicago, I study at Columbia College here in the city, and I work in both Chinese and English. I'm not an agency — you deal with the person who builds the site, and that is the whole advantage.

我是 Mayson,在芝加哥,就读于 Columbia College,中文英文都可以沟通。我不是网站公司 —— 您从头到尾对接的就是实际动手做网站的人,这正是最大的好处。

You talk to the person building it

直接找到动手的人

No call centre, no account manager, no contract you can't read. You email or text me and I'm the one who answers and the one who makes the change.

没有客服中心,没有客户经理,也没有看不懂的合同。您发邮件或短信给我,回您的是我,动手改的也是我。

Written for both kinds of customers

两种客人都照顾到

Your regulars read Chinese; visitors and new neighbors search in English. Your site speaks to both.

老主顾看中文,新客人和游客用英文搜。您的网站两边都照顾到。

You own everything

一切归您所有

The domain is registered in your name. If you ever stop working with me, you keep your site.

域名用您的名义注册。就算以后不找我了,网站还是您的。

Changes by text

发个消息就能改

New price? Closed for Lunar New Year? Send me a text or WeChat and it's updated.

价格变了?农历新年休息?发个短信或微信给我就改好。

Questions owners ask

老板常问的问题

I already have Yelp and Instagram. Why do I need a website?我已经有 Yelp 和 Instagram 了,还需要网站吗?

Keep them — your website links to both. The difference is that a website is yours: it shows your real hours, menu and prices in one place, and Google often puts it first when people search your name.

那些继续用,网站会连到它们。不同的是,网站是您自己的:营业时间、菜单、价格集中在一个地方,客人搜您店名时,Google 也常常把官网排在前面。

How much does it cost?做一个网站要多少钱?

It depends on how many pages you need and what's on them. Tell me about your shop using the form below and I'll send a clear quote within one business day — and you'll see a free mockup before you decide anything.

要看需要几页、放哪些内容。用下面的表格告诉我您店里的情况,我会在一个工作日内给您清楚的报价;决定之前,您还会先看到免费样稿。

What does it cost each year after launch?上线以后每年还要花多少钱?

Usually just the domain name, about $10–20 a year, paid directly to the registrar. Hosting for a site like this is typically free. Monthly updates are optional and low-cost.

一般只有域名费,每年大约 $10–20,直接付给域名注册商。这类网站的托管通常是免费的。每月维护是可选的,费用很低。

I don't have good photos.我没有好看的照片怎么办?

That's a solvable problem. I study at a film school in Chicago, so the people I work with are film and photography majors — I can arrange a proper shoot of your space, your products and your staff, and video as well if you want it. Tell me what you need and I'll quote that separately; it is never required to get the site built.

这个能解决。我在芝加哥一所电影学院读书,合作的都是影视和摄影专业的人 —— 可以安排正式拍摄您的店面、产品和员工,需要的话视频也能一起做。告诉我您想要什么,我单独给您报价;这部分不是做网站的必要条件。

Can I change things myself later?以后我能自己改吗?

Most owners prefer to just text me. If you want to edit things yourself, I can build on a platform you can log into — we'll decide together.

大部分老板更喜欢直接发消息给我改。如果您想自己改,我也可以做在一个您能登录编辑的平台上,我们一起商量。

Get a free mockup and a quote.

免费做样稿,给您报价。

Tell me a little about your shop. I'll reach out within one business day by the way you prefer — phone, text, email or WeChat.

简单告诉我您店里的情况,我会在一个工作日内按您方便的方式联系您:电话、短信、邮件或微信都可以。
