Hello there, my name is Brandon Wilson and I am the owner of Chicago Web Design, Inc. I hope that in reviewing our portfolio of web site development work you will see the pride we have in our sites and the deep well of design and programming talent we have in our 15 person staff based in Chicago, Illinois. I arrived relatively early on the web site development landscape but fortunately not too early...I missed the dot bomb phenomena completely. In 1997 I was going door-to-door in industrial parks by day and building web sites out of my parent’s house in Mokena by night.

Although from the beginning I had a strong sense of quality and a love for sales and consulting, I soon realized that there wasn't enough hours in the day for me to learn how to handle all the design and programming myself. This led to an interesting business model…a web firm managed by a "business" guy rather than a designer or programmer with the skills and prejudices that go along with those disciplines. From the beginning I have been in this business to make money for my small and mid-sized business clients, and that approach has made us successful in turn.

The biggest complaint I hear about computer-oriented people is that they use too much jargon and talk down to non-technical people. As much as I’ve learned about web sites, I still try hard to view them with the eyes of a business owner, prospective customer or one of the other 300 million people out there that use the web to research, shop or learn…not as a web geek or branding hot shot. The result is intended to be web sites that are clean, easy to navigate, easy to find in search engines and easy to maintain over time. After you’ve had a chance to view our sites, please let me know if we are accomplishing our objective!

Sincerely,

Brandon J. Wilson
President
