Why Shoreline Fog Studio?

You work directly with me

Hi, I'm Emily — the designer behind Shoreline Fog Studio. I'm a solo, small business owner who's passionate about doing high-quality work, which means you're never handed off to an account manager or a rotating team. I'm the one who designs and builds your site, from start to finish.

Your website matters

Your website is often the very first impression a potential customer has of your business. Before they ever walk through your door or pick up the phone, people judge the quality of your business based on the quality of your website. If it looks outdated, loads slowly, or doesn't work well on a phone, that first impression can cost you the sale before you know it.

I got into this work because I believe small businesses deserve better than that. Too many are overshadowed by big corporations with polished sites, when a clean, well-designed website can build the same instant trust, and help the right customers easily find you.

How I work

Free consultation — we talk about your business and what you need

Design & build — I create your site and check in along the way

Review & revise — you give feedback, I refine it

Launch — your site goes live, ready for customers

Ongoing care (optional) — once your site is live, a Monthly Care Plan keeps it updated and running smoothly, so you never have to worry about it again.

From neighborhood shops and salons to family-run restaurants, wellness studios, and service providers who care about their community as much as their craft. If you're a Chicago-area business owner who's proud of what you've built and wants a website that beautifully reflects that, I'd love to help.
