Block Memorial Law Library to shops downtown, every site is built to stand out in the Waukegan market.

Custom layouts, zero templates

HOSTING

Managed Hosting Included

Every build for Waukegan businesses includes private managed hosting for the trial period (30-180 days). After that, OpenLiteSpeed hosting continues at $25/mo, faster and cheaper than the shared hosting most Waukegan area agencies resell at a markup. Daily backups, free SSL, firewall included.

I've had Alex from LegitWebs handle all my websites and advertising for at least 20 years. Don't spin your wheels with other estimates, I did, several times, only to have Alex fix their mistakes. Alex has always been the man behind the scene.

Alex helped me recover my website and domain after it was lost with GoDaddy. He built a new WordPress site and helped me save money because Yahoo Business was ripping me off. Very honest, I recommend LegitWebs to all local businesses.

Alex proposed an easy-to-use WordPress website that fit my needs on pricing, complexity, and design. After delivery he sat with me for 30 minutes and taught me how to make edits. Excellent service for local business owners, I recommend Alex / LegitWebs.
