Can my Geneva shop sell gift cards on its website?

Yes. Customers buy a gift card on the site, pay by card, and the recipient gets it by email with a code you can redeem at the counter or online. The balance is tracked, so nobody needs a paper log behind the register.

Can clients book and put down a deposit on my Geneva website?

Yes, the booking page can take a deposit through Stripe when the appointment is made. You decide the amount and the cancellation rules, and the deposit is applied to the final bill. The appointment lands on your calendar and the client gets a confirmation right away.

Does a Geneva storefront need a website if it already has an Instagram page?

Instagram is good for showing the work, but it does not come up for most searches and it cannot take a booking or a payment on its own terms. A website gives Google something to rank, holds your hours and address in one place, and gives your Instagram visitors a place to finish the purchase.

Will my Geneva site load quickly for people searching on a phone?

Yes. The sites are built on Next.js and served from Vercel, so pages open quickly on an ordinary phone connection, and images are resized for the screen that asks for them. Page speed is checked before launch and monitored afterward.

Web Design in Geneva, IL.

Geneva's Third Street shops, salons, and studios get a lot of customers who find them on a phone while they are already downtown or planning the visit. I build websites for those businesses where the booking, the deposit, or the gift card purchase happens on the page.

New Face Design is one engineer in St. Charles, right next door. You work with the person who builds the site, and the first step is a free 20 minute audit.

What a Geneva business site has to do

Found on the map as well as the results

A search for a local service usually shows a map with three businesses before any website. Your site and your Google Business Profile carry the same name, address, hours, and services, so each one backs up the other.

The job gets taken on the page

Bookings go on your real calendar, deposits and invoices are paid through Stripe, and quote requests reach the person who answers them, with the details already filled in.

Quick on a phone

Built on Next.js and hosted on Vercel, so the page opens fast on a phone, which is where a lot of local searches happen.

Yours from the first day

The domain, the code, the hosting, and the analytics are in your name. If we stop working together, the site keeps running.

A worked example

A Geneva salon that loses Saturday slots to no-shows

Imagine a salon that books by phone and loses two or three Saturday appointments a month to people who never arrive. A rebuild puts booking on the site with a small deposit taken at the time of the appointment request, so a no-show still pays something and fewer people skip. The same site sells gift cards that are delivered by email, which covers the December rush without anyone at the front desk writing cards by hand.

Real builds

A Chicago-area pool company
A website with Stripe payments and lead capture. Every lead is confirmed and tracked through to close, where it used to die in a full voicemail box.
A freight forwarder
Separate intake for quotes, imports, exports, and general questions, each arriving structured and sent to the right desk.

Full case studies go up as each client signs off on the details. See the work page.

What a website costs in Geneva

Starter: $500; then $99/mo after 30 days
Growth: $1,000; then $249/mo after 60 days
Full System: $5,000; then $499/mo after 90 days

The same prices as anywhere else. After the audit you get a fixed number from these tiers, set by how much has to be wired in behind the pages. The monthly keeps the site monitored, updated, and fast, and you can cancel it. See what each tier includes.
