Client testimonials

What real clients are saying.

“Had N5 Studio redo my website and my Google profile and honestly it looks way better than I expected. Super clean, super high end. Site loads quick now and I'm getting more calls. They set up tracking and all that too so I can actually see what's going on, and they're real transparent about everything. Working with him was super easy and it didn't take forever either. Appreciate it dude”

“I'm so happy I chose N5 Studio for my website. Being a new business owner, I was worried about everything I'd need to get done. Ryan explained everything quickly and had my site up before I could even get him all the info he needed. He also helped me with my Google Business page, gave me strategy ideas for the website, and walked me through pricing. I couldn't recommend him enough.”

“Ryan was great to work with. Super informative, answered every question I had, and got the site up faster than I expected. I sent him a bunch of tweaks and he knocked them out same-day every time. Site looks awesome and he was easy to deal with the whole way. Already planning to add more tools with him.”

“I told Ryan I wanted everything in one place. I was so tired of juggling a booking app, a separate email thing, and my photos all over. He built me an all-in-one site with its own dashboard, so bookings come right in, everyone gets emailed automatically, and I can upload pictures of the new pups I'm watching straight into the gallery myself. It made running my business so much easier, and he made the whole thing painless.”

“Honestly, I was so over the booking platform I was stuck on. It barely sent me anything and I was still paying for it. Then I found Ryan and he just built me the whole thing from scratch, my own site, my own booking, and a dashboard where I can see every rental and manage my fleet. I can even add a rider right there at the dock and get their waiver signed on the spot, which was the part that always stressed me out. Switching everything over was way easier than I thought it'd be. I'm so glad I found him.”

Getting found

Your customers are asking their phone now.

“Who’s a good plumber near me?” gets answered with two or three names. Not ten blue links. If you are not one of those names, you were never in the running.

11 of 39 Rockford businesses already at the top of Google were named by none of them.

I asked ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity who they recommend across seven local trades, then checked every business that came up. Winning on Google is not the same thing as being named, and more than one in four of the strongest companies in town found that out the hard way. Checked September 2026.

R’s Mobile Mechanics

Named by 3 of the 4.

ChatGPT gave its reasons: the one-year parts warranty, the diagnostic fee terms, same-day availability. Three sentences I wrote on his site, quoted back at the customer. That is the whole trick, facts a machine can repeat without guessing.

Happy Tails Pet Care

No Google listing at all. Named by 2 of the 4.

She has no Google Business Profile, no reviews, no map pin, by choice. Gemini and Perplexity recommend her anyway, because her site says plainly what she does, where, and for whom.

Every plan is built this way, from $99 a month.

Fix these first

  1. 1

    Fix the domain this weekCritical · 10 minute fix

    Typed without the www, the address showed a security error or a page offering to sell the domain. Not the site.

  2. 2

    Fix the Book button on GoogleCritical · 5 minute fix

    The booking link on the Google listing pointed at a misspelled domain with no security certificate, so Chrome blocked it.

  3. 3

    Cut the page weightHigh impact · Half a day

    An 8 MB homepage: one 3.9 MB video and 105 files from an Instagram feed. Removing those two fixes most of the slowdown.

  • Also found: Two footer links on phones dialed placeholder numbers left in from the template.
  • Also found: Analytics was installed twice, so every visit counted double.
  • Working: A perfect Google rating, a top-3 map spot and real photos. Worth keeping.

Who builds it

You text me. I answer.

I build every site by hand, and I’m the one who picks up when you call. There’s nobody in between.

I’ve been on computers since I was a kid, gaming and taking things apart to see how they worked. In 2020 I turned that into building websites for a living.

Most business owners I talk to got burned by a slow site and a builder who disappeared once the check cleared. So I host everything and keep it running myself, and you can get back to work.

Something breaks? Text me and I’ll fix it the same day.

First month due at signing. No setup fee, no build fee, no deposit. Cancel anytime. Full export. Your domain is always yours.

    If something breaks in the first month, I fix it for free.

  • Same-day replies

    I answer every email and text within one business day, usually a lot faster.

  • Calls go to me

    When you call or text, I'm the one who answers. None of it is outsourced.

    What I quote is what you pay. It's month to month and you can cancel whenever.

    SSL, a global CDN, daily backups and 99.9% uptime come with the plan.

Questions

Questions you might be asking.

Still have one? Just call (815) 290-0955. I answer my own phone.

  • I build you a demo of your actual site before you pay anything, so you see the direction first. After that every build comes with two rounds of revisions. If it is still not right, you walk away and it cost you nothing.

  • You do. The code, the content, the domain, all yours. If you ever leave, you walk away with everything.

  • The build itself, plus hosting, security, daily backups, software updates, a monthly report, and direct access to me whenever you need a tweak, a question answered, or a quick fix. There is no separate build fee, which is why there is nothing to pay up front.

  • Small updates are included, as often as you need them, done within 48 hours. Text changes, new photos, updated hours and prices, a new blog post. Redesigns and brand new functionality I quote case by case, so you always know before anything is billed.

  • 7 days from kickoff is the standard timeline, and most go faster. Once I have your content and the go-ahead, your site is live in about 7 days.

  • A full custom website (up to 5 pages), mobile-ready, SEO-ready, hosted and secured, with unlimited small updates and a monthly report. Everything a service business needs to start getting calls, with no setup or build fee.

  • Yes. I can migrate your existing site to a faster, cleaner, hand-coded version on the same domain. Most migrations take less than 7 days.
