Aurora

01 · Signal

We build the website your competitors will have in five years.

Chicago small business websites and automations, built to a standard your competitors haven't reached yet.

Chicago based. No sales calls. See the work before you decide.

02 · Shift

Why Aurora exists.

The old way

Traditional web design costs $3,000 to $5,000 upfront. You sit through sales calls, wait months, and judge mockups that tell you nothing about how the real thing will feel in a customer's hand.

The Aurora way

Transparent pricing on this page. A Starter site in about a week, every tier within two. And before you spend anything, you can see a real sample of your own site, built from your real business, live at a link you can send to anyone.

03 · Method

07 · About

Aurora is Chicago-built.

Aurora is a Chicago studio building websites and automations for small businesses. Every project is reviewed by a human before it ships. No sales calls, no monthly contracts you can't understand, no packages designed to confuse you. Fair prices, honest work, and a site you actually own.

08 · Questions

Asked honestly, answered honestly.

Is the free sample really free?
Yes. No card, no meeting. If you pass on it we delete it.
What do you build it from?
Your public business information, your existing site, your Google listing, your real reviews. We confirm every detail with you before launch.
How fast?
Sample in a few days. Starter in about a week, Professional one to two weeks, Premium about two weeks.
Do I own my site?
Yes. Your domain, your content, your site. The Care Plan covers hosting and updates and you can cancel anytime.
What if I need changes later?
