Build the site your business deserves

Clean, fast, mobile-first websites for the local restaurants and shops that deserve to be found.

Most people decide on their phone

Someone's on the sidewalk, hungry, thumb on their phone, searching "lunch near me." In about three seconds they pick a place — based on what shows up, how it looks, and whether the menu actually loads.

If your site is missing, slow, or stuck in 2009, that customer never sees you. A clean, fast, mobile-first site turns those searches into walk-ins.

That's the whole job — and I do it well.

The Difference

Before & After

Same restaurant, same menu — a tired old page versus a clean, modern one. Guess which one gets the table.

Before
Outdated website example
Cramped, slow, hard to read on a phone Tiny text, a menu that won't load, broken hours, and a phone number you have to pinch-zoom to tap.
After
Modern website example
Fast, warm, made for the phone Tap-to-call, a menu that loads instantly, clear hours, and a map pin — everything a hungry customer needs.

Meet the studio

One designer, fully in your corner

Sivo Studios is a one-person web shop built for Chicago's local favorites — the taquerias, trattorias, and corner cafés that deserve to be found online.

You work directly with me from first call to launch. No agency runaround, no template you have to wrestle. Just a fast, beautiful site and a real person who picks up the phone.

A great site shouldn't require a tech degree — that's my job, not yours.
