Klea Klingsick coordinates weddings for couples who have already planned every detail and need someone to run the day, so they can attend their own wedding instead of working it. She came in with twenty-plus weddings behind her at the Jewel Box, City Museum, and SIUE Gardens, five reviews on The Knot, and a domain that did nothing but forward email. Built from scratch into an editorial site that leads with the distinction she repeats on every call: she is a coordinator, not a planner, and she finishes what couples start.
I had been searching for the right web designer to create a site that truly reflects my business and services. Then, I met Jake. He walked me through his process, which was incredibly simple: you set up an initial meeting, review the questions for your website, and within 48 hours, the site is built. The final product…
Megan and Jared took over a 24/7 gym on Harvard Drive that members already rated 4.8 stars across 136 reviews, and inherited a template site that read like every other gym in the county. Rebuilt around the two things members actually say about the place: it is open every hour of the year, and it is the cleanest floor in Edwardsville. The line the owners use with their own members, earn it, carries the page.
I’ve known Jake for a while now and he truly cares about helping people drive their business. This whole process has been effortless and Jake made the website pretty darn close to flawless on the first draft. I've been looking for things to have him fix and there is not much. Your business deserves this level of care!
Aaron Marmon runs a disabled-veteran-owned dog training operation across Fairview Heights and the St. Louis Metro East, with board-and-train, private lessons, and service dog work behind a 5.0 rating. The old Squarespace site buried all of that under overlapping headlines and generic stock photos, so a dog owner searching for a trainer had no reason to pick him over anyone else. Rebuilt on the same domain they had already earned rankings on, the new site leads with Aaron and his own dog, the veteran-owned trust signal, and one clear path to book a free consult.
Highly recommend Jake from Local Craft Digital. He just did my website and I’m very happy with it. I have had 3 website builders in the past 5 years and also tried to do it myself with squarespace. Jake is hands down the best, he captured everything I wanted on my website and made it look professional and at a better p…

A cluttered Squarespace site with overlapping headlines and generic stock, hiding a genuinely strong local trainer.
Logan Maggio sells real estate in Edwardsville and the Metro East with Gori Realtors, and she came to the work from interior design, which is the part most agent sites flatten into the same stock photography and the same headshot. Built as an editorial piece instead: her own words about pairing local knowledge with a designer's eye, a path that splits buying from selling from building rather than dumping everyone into one contact form, and community pages for the towns she actually works.
Air Lion sells and services premium vacuums out of Collinsville for both homes and commercial accounts, carrying Aerus, Electrolux, Kirby, Simplicity and more across 21 machines. The catalog was the whole problem: a buyer arrives knowing the room they need to clean, not the brand they want. The site sorts the machines the way people actually shop, by brand, by machine type, by filter, by residential or commercial, and puts a real phone number on every path.
Michael Wooten teaches adults to dance in Granite City: salsa, line dancing, the hustle, and wedding first dances, with a 4.9 rating across 81 Google reviews and back-to-back best-studio awards. The old site ran on flat graphics and AI-made fliers that looked nothing like the room. Rebuilt around the welcome that actually fills his classes, no experience, no judgment, with a page for every style people search instead of one crowded schedule.
I cannot recommend Jake Sebok highly enough. Jake created a website for our studio that is clean, clear, professional, and somehow captures the heart of our business, and the most impressive part is that he did it all from essentially one conversation over coffee. You truly never know who you are going to meet. Jake…
A certified nutritional therapy practitioner who runs corporate wellness workshops and programs across the Metro East and greater St. Louis. The old WordPress site buried her credential and read like a generic wellness blog, so the HR managers and office administrators who actually book these sessions could not tell she was the evidence-based choice. Redesigned around her NTP credential, the not-a-diet promise, and the exact terms corporate buyers search, with one clear path to book a workshop.
I’ve been updating my website as I shifted my business and reached a point it needed an overhaul. I was happy to get connected to Jake with LocalCraft Digital. It was a speedy turnaround to preview my new website, and he’s been friendly to work with every step of the way. I knew all the right marketing tactics, but it…

A mid-2010s WordPress site that buried her credential and read like a generic wellness blog.
Steve Janssen is a veteran with 21 years in the trade, a 5.0 rating across 55 Google reviews, and the boldest logo in the Riverbend: a Thor-styled tradesman in electric teal. The old site undersold all of it. The rebuild leads with the promise his customers repeat, Steve answers the phone and does the work himself, and turns the identity up instead of sanding it off, down to the owner telling his own story on camera.
localcraft digital has been far better than the last company i had needless to say i wont be using anyone else
Andrew Hughes had fifteen years on the tools and a Facebook page. Everything a customer needed to hire him, the service list, the area he covers, the number to call, lived in a feed that buries itself every week. Now it sits on a site that answers the question first and puts the phone one tap away.
Jake was top notch! Not only did he do a great job creating a great website he really dove in to what I wanted and needed for my business. That really spoke to me as a business owner. Any time there was an item I wanted changed he was quick to make changes and confirmed the changes as soon as they were completed. When…
A sports and concussion rehab clinic with a complete inherited template and zero brand. Redesigned end-to-end into a confident, athlete-facing site that reads like a premium training facility instead of a generic chiropractor.
Jake helped me overhaul my website. He handled everything on the the design and layout improvements AND helped me to get clients who search using AI platforms. It has been super valuable for my business!

Inherited template, generic anatomy imagery, no story.
