ABOUT / LOCAL AND OWNER-OPERATED
Mado is a small web studio based in Hannibal, Missouri, building websites for businesses around Hannibal, Palmyra, and Quincy.
Mado is owner-operated. The person who answers your inquiry is the person who plans your pages, designs the site, builds it, and checks it on phones before you see it. There are no account managers, and the work is not passed to people you never hear from.
Mado designs and develops each site around your business, your content, and what customers need to do. The owner reviews the build, tests key paths on phones and desktops, and makes agreed revisions before you approve it for launch.
Mado is new. There are no client websites to show yet. Everything under Work is a clearly labeled concept for a fictional business. Every price on this site is a starting point, and every project begins with a written quote.
Prices on the site before you get in touch. A written quote that lists the pages, features, costs, and revision rounds. Your domain and hosting in your name. No payment taken on this website.
A SAMPLE BUILD, DAY BY DAY
An illustration of a seven-business-day build, the longest standard estimate. A three-day build compresses the same steps. Your written quote sets the actual plan and deadline.
DAY 1
Page list, structure and the one action each page must make easy.
DAY 2
Type, color and photography choices, set against your real content.
DAY 3
Pages assembled from your approved text and images.
DAY 4
Forms, menus, galleries or the scoped feature, wired and checked.
DAY 5
Every page on phones: reading, tapping, links, speed.
DAY 6
Your combined notes applied, round by round within the agreed number, then checked again.
DAY 7
Final checks, accounts in your name, the handoff note.
SIX WORKING PRINCIPLES
Many customers first meet a local business on a phone, so every page is designed and checked there first.
A page that asks for three things gets none. Each page makes one next step obvious.
No filler paragraphs. The text says what the business does, where, and what to do next.
Starting prices are published here so you can compare before you ask. The quote confirms the rest.
Depth and movement are there to orient, never to slow reading or hide controls. Reduced motion is respected.
Domain, hosting and any provider accounts are set up in your name from the start, as the written quote sets out.
A CRAFT STUDY
The same page, drawn two ways for each decision. Nothing here is a real client; the point is how small choices change what a visitor does.
One headline that says what and where, then one line of support. Many equal headlines compete and lose.
One large photograph of the actual room beats a grid of small ones. The visitor needs to feel the place, not inventory it.
One button, repeated where it helps. Three different buttons split the visitor’s attention and the owner’s inbox.
Tell us what your business does and what you want customers to do. A few sentences are enough.
