Custom Websites Designed Around Your Business

I design custom Elementor websites around your brand, customers and business goals, with a strong foundation for mobile UX, clear content and search visibility.

Custom responsive websites designed for Chicago businesses by Alejandro Bedoya.

A Website Should Make Your Business Easier to Understand

When someone lands on your website, they shouldn't have to work to figure out who you are, what you offer, or what to do next. I design websites around those basic questions first.

That means creating clear navigation, organizing content around what customers are actually looking for, and making important actions, calling, ordering, getting directions, viewing a menu, making a reservation, or contacting the business easy to find.

The visual design still matters, but it has to support the experience. Your website should feel like your brand while helping people move through it naturally. That's the balance I look for in every website I design.

Designed Around Real Customers

I don't start a website by deciding how many sections the homepage should have or choosing a template.

I start by looking at the business. What information are customers trying to find? What questions need to be answered? Which actions matter most? What should someone understand within the first few seconds?

Those answers help shape the navigation, page structure, content hierarchy and calls to action before the visual details are refined.

The result is a website built around how the business actually works rather than forcing the business into a predetermined layout.

What I Focus On

Every branding project is different, so the final identity is built around what your business actually needs.

UX & Site Structure

Clear navigation, thoughtful page structure and content hierarchy designed to help visitors understand the business and find what they need.

Mobile Experience

Layouts, typography, buttons and interactions considered specifically for smaller screens—not simply a desktop website squeezed onto a phone.

Custom Elementor Design

Custom Elementor websites designed around your brand and content rather than relying on an off-the-shelf template.

Search-Friendly Foundation

Logical headings, page structure, internal linking, metadata and other on-page fundamentals that give search engines a clear understanding of your content.

Local Business Experience

For Chicago businesses with physical locations, I consider important local actions such as calling, directions, hours, menus, ordering, reservations and location information.

Performance & Accessibility

Images, layouts and interactions are considered with page performance, readability and accessibility in mind so the experience works for more users across different devices.

Your Website Should Feel Like the Same Business

This is where I would connect Web Design to your broader positioning, but only once.

A website shouldn't feel disconnected from everything customers already recognize about your business.I use your visual identity, logo, color, typography, photography and graphic language to create a digital experience that feels like a natural extension of the brand.

And because my work extends beyond websites into branding, graphic design and signage, I can consider how the digital experience connects to the physical business as well.

SEO Starts With the Website

Search visibility isn't something I think about only after a website is finished.

Page structure, headings, content, internal links, location information, image optimization, and technical fundamentals all influence how clearly search engines can understand a website.

I build those considerations into the site from the beginning while keeping the content written for people first.

For local businesses, I also look at how the website supports your broader local presence through clear location pages, business information and connections with Google Business Profile where appropriate.

The goal is to give the website a strong search-friendly foundation without sacrificing the experience of the people actually using it.

How I Design a Website

Understand

I start by learning about your business, customers, goals, existing website and what needs to improve.

Structure

I organize the pages, navigation and content around what visitors need to understand and the actions you want them to take.

Design

I develop the visual experience around your brand, creating layouts that balance personality, clarity and usability across desktop and mobile.

Build

The approved direction is built in Elementor, with responsive behavior, content, imagery and on-page SEO fundamentals incorporated throughout the site.

Refine & Launch

Before launch, I review the website across devices, refine the experience and make sure the important pieces are working as intended.
