Hometown Design Studio

Based in New Lenox, Illinois, Hometown Design Studio is a small marketing team, led by owner Nicole, working with local and small business owners across Illinois. The studio positions itself as a full-service partner for businesses whose websites are not generating enough leads, offering ongoing, hands-on support rather than one-off projects — some client relationships described on the site span several years and include continued website management alongside marketing. Services cover web design, local SEO, social media management, marketing design, branding, content marketing, advertising and broader marketing strategy. Web design work is described as customized to each client's business, including exploring multiple layout options before finalizing a design and integrating third-party software and booking tools into finished sites. For established clients, the studio also handles ongoing website updates and requested changes, social media account management, and troubleshooting online issues as they arise. Logo and brand identity design is offered alongside website builds for clients starting from limited direction. The agency also supports new business launches, building a website and initial marketing presence from the ground up. Consultations are offered as a free, no-obligation 30-minute conversation to discuss a business's marketing needs before any engagement begins.
