What this is

Websites, booking and follow‑up for local shops — built and run from Glen Ellyn.

Most shops buy these from four different companies and spend their evenings making them talk to each other. Behind this door they were built as one thing. Project Knox is new. What you can check is the work: six working demos, the plans in writing, and Jeff on the phone.

  • Local.

    Glen Ellyn is home and DuPage County is the neighborhood — Wheaton, Lombard, Naperville, Downers Grove and the towns between. We’ll come to your shop.

  • A person you can call.

    (331) 291‑7400 rings Jeff Bilbrey, who builds the site and keeps it running. Everything is in writing before any work begins.

  • Yours stays yours.

    Your domain, your Google Business Profile and your customer list are yours, and the site files leave with you. The CRM, booking and automations are subscription software that runs while you’re on a plan.

What you get

Get found. Get booked. Keep in touch.

Three outcomes, built as one system. The plan each one lives in is printed on the card.

Foundation
01 of 03

Get found.

Your own website at your own address, your Google Business Profile claimed and built out, and pages written for your trade and your town — so the people searching nearby find you. In Foundation.
Growth
02 of 03

Make booking easier.

A booking site synced to your Google Calendar, so customers book themselves day or night. A deposit at booking, a reminder before the appointment, and a customer list that remembers who’s due back. In Growth.
Growth
03 of 03

Keep in touch.

The thank‑you, the reminder, the review request and the “we haven’t seen you in a while” — texts and emails sent on time while you work. In Growth; review replies are an add‑on.
How it works

Three steps. Nothing for you to run.

Step 01

The call

Twenty minutes, free, no script. You say what you’d fix first, and you get a written scope and a price before anything starts.

Step 02

The build

The setup month: your domain in your name, your Google Business Profile built out, your email, your site — written for your trade and your town. You read it and say yes.

Step 03

The run

From then on it works while you do. Bookings land on your calendar, reminders go out, reviews get asked for. One standard update a month — just ask.

The Vault

Six live demo businesses. Don’t take our word for it — go and use one.

Behind this door are six complete, fictional businesses we built — a barbershop, a taquería, an auto garage, a nail salon, a chiropractor and a lawn crew. Not screenshots. Book a haircut in one and a real confirmation email lands in your inbox in about ten seconds.

Book a haircut at Knox Chops, order at Knox Guac, drive the CRM — six fictional businesses, all working, no signup.

Plans

Two plans. From $250 a month.

Foundation gets you found. Growth adds the booking, the follow‑up and the payments. Moving up later isn’t a rebuild — it’s the same system with more of it switched on.

Foundation

Annual: 15% off the subscription, paid upfront — $2,550 for Foundation, $5,100 for Growth, plus setup.

Meet Jeff

The person who builds it is the person who picks up.

“Knox builds the site, the booking and the follow‑up, and keeps them running — so when you call about your website, you’re talking to someone who knows your shop, not a ticket queue.

If you’d rather look us over before you spend a dollar, say so. I’ll come to your shop anywhere in DuPage County, or meet you downtown, and there’s no number until you ask for one.

Nothing starts until the scope and the price are in writing and you’ve said yes.”

Straight answers

The questions owners ask before they call.

What counts as a standard site update?

One change you can describe in a sentence: a price, new hours, a photo swap, a paragraph rewritten, a team member added, a holiday notice. Ask, and it’s done within the week. A new page, a new section or a redesign is different work — quoted in writing, or covered by the Extra Updates add‑on when it’s several small changes.

Who owns what?

You own your domain (registered in your name), your Google Business Profile (in your own Google account) and your customer data (exportable on request). The website pages are yours too, handed over as a static export you can host anywhere. The CRM, the booking system and the automations are subscription software: they run while you’re on a plan and stop when it ends. Your Google Workspace and payment‑processor accounts are your own.

Is there a contract?

Yes: a twelve‑month agreement, in plain words, that you read before anything starts. The first months are when the site is built and indexed — before there is anything fair to judge — so the plan runs long enough to be judged. After month twelve it continues month to month at the same price. If you want out early, tell us in writing: you pay the current month plus one more, and that’s the end of it.

What happens if I leave?

You tell us in writing and settle the final bill — the current month plus one more, whenever you go. If you prepaid the year, the part beyond that final month is refunded within 30 days. Your domain, your Google Business Profile and your Google Workspace stay in your accounts, your customer data is exported for you, and you get a static export of the site to host anywhere. The CRM, booking and automations stop with the plan. No collections, no hostage‑taking.

How fast do you respond?

Within one business day, usually sooner. Standard site updates are done within the week. If it’s urgent, call (331) 291‑7400 — it rings a person, not a queue.

Do I need Growth?

Not if all you need is to look professional and be found — that’s Foundation. Growth is the fit when booking and follow‑up are the problem: customers booking themselves, reminders, review requests, payments. You can start on Foundation and move up any time; it isn’t a rebuild.
