Northern Illinois and the Chicago suburbs

Your website should close clients. Your intake should end phone tag.

Custom websites, apps, and automation for small businesses from the Chicago south suburbs through the Quad Cities, Peoria, and Rockford. And the clients they refer.

Tell us what you do How it works

Sound familiar?

The work is fine. The front door is what's costing you.

Phone tag. Clients calling during the hours you should be billing.
Document chasing. A second job during your busiest weeks.
A stale website. Doesn't reflect what you actually do today.
Higher expectations. Clients expect things your site doesn't have yet, and most are willing to switch providers to get them.

What we build

What every build comes with.

Sites that close clients

Loads in under two seconds, reads like you wrote it, looks right on every device.

Intake that ends phone tag

Clients drop off documents, schedule calls, and answer screening questions without your team chasing them every week. Smart forms skip irrelevant questions; automated reminders follow up so you don't have to.

Live in days, not months

Custom site live in 5 to 10 business days from kickoff.

The spreadsheet that's eating your time? We turn it into an app.

Client intake forms, document portals, blog drafts that go out without you, internal dashboards. Most small businesses have one or two workflows that live in a spreadsheet because nobody had time to build the real version. We build the real version. Pick the workflow that's costing you the most this month. We ship it next.

Optional value adds

The add-ons that earn their keep.

Pick the ones that earn their keep. Mobile-first design and full ownership come standard.

Smart client intake

Adaptive questionnaires that skip irrelevant questions and adapt to how you intake clients.

Secure document portal

Clients upload paperwork (tax forms, contracts, intake docs, whatever you need) in a portal that looks and feels like your business.

Smart document tagging

Incoming files automatically named, sorted, and filed for you.

Automated reminders

Email and SMS follow-up for missing docs. No more chasing clients during busy season.

E-signature built in

Contracts and approvals signed inside the portal.

Your tools, connected

Plugs into the accounting, scheduling, billing, CRM, and other tools you already run on (QuickBooks, Xero, and more). Client data and invoices flow without duplicate entry.

How it works

Three steps, no surprises.

We scope it.

A real conversation about how you work. Every page agreed before we build.

We build it.

Custom site built to scope. Each round of feedback gets its own form built for your project, so nothing slips through the cracks.

It goes live.

Yours to own. Hosted, supported, and easy to change.

See it work

This is what your clients would see.

An optional add-on for businesses ready to end the phone-tag cycle. Your team approves anything that reaches a client.

Hi, I'm Modern Mainstreet's intake helper. What can we build for you?

Need a new website and a way to handle new client docs.

Got it. Which is hurting more right now, the website or the doc handling?

Doc handling. We're losing files in email.

I'll text you a 15-min slot with Tommy and a quick form so we can scope it.

Static preview. The interactive version is built to your tone of voice when you add it on.

Tell us what you do

What clients ask us first.

Two parts. The site is custom-scoped to how you actually run, designed around how your clients decide. The optional AI client intake takes phone tag and document chasing off your team's plate, capturing intake details before the first call. Businesses that switch to modern intake commonly cut onboarding time in half.

AI handles the busywork: intake forms, document collection, reminders, file tagging. Your team handles judgment and anything client-facing. The AI never gives advice and never sends a client communication without your approval.

No. We connect directly to the tools most small offices already use, including QuickBooks Online, Xero, Clio, Stripe, LawPay, Calendly, and DocuSign. For tools without a direct connection (TaxDome, Karbon, SmartVault, and others), we route through automation partners like Zapier. We add to what you already use, we don't replace it.

Every project is fully scoped up front, so we agree on what's getting built before we start building. Post-launch support and changes are part of the conversation during scoping; we tailor the support arrangement to how often you expect changes.

Yes. Many industries have advertising or marketing rules to follow, including law (state bar), accounting (AICPA), healthcare (HIPAA-related disclosures), financial advisory (SEC and FINRA), and others. We build to the rules that apply to your specific industry. Tell us your trade and we will scope to match.

You do. The domain, the website files, the content. We host it; you control it.

We start with the people who run on professional expertise: accountants, attorneys, bookkeepers, dentists, financial advisors, consultants, and agencies. Then we keep going. The contractors, tradespeople, and small operators those professionals refer to us get the same care. If you run a small business and your website or operations need a refresh, get in touch.

We serve northern and central Illinois, from the Chicago south suburbs through the Quad Cities, Peoria, and Rockford.
