Paul really is the real deal and knows what he is talking about. If you need someone to help your online presence, I wouldn't go to anyone else but Paul.
Search Strength SEO handles web development in Naperville, IL for businesses whose WordPress site has become slow, fragile or hard to change. We rebuild templates, move sites between hosts without breaking links, connect booking and CRM tools, and then keep the finished site running on infrastructure we maintain. Development is led remotely by our CTO, with every change rehearsed on a staging copy first.
Right for Naperville firms that need the site to work reliably, not simply look refreshed.
Owners rarely call us about code. Most Naperville development requests begin because something visible has started going wrong.
Heavy images, render-blocking scripts and cheap hosting make visitors wait, and many leave before the page loads.
Overlapping add-ons, each loading its own files, until one update breaks the layout.
Inquiries that never arrive in the inbox, discovered weeks later when a customer mentions it.
Versions left unpatched because nobody is sure an update will not break something.
Bargain hosting that slows to a crawl whenever traffic rises.
Booking, CRM or email tools that stopped syncing after a vendor changed its system.
Dawley Logistics, a family-run carrier in Burlington, Wisconsin, needed a full rebuild and a new home for the site. We wrote a custom child theme, split each transport service onto a dedicated page, and shifted the whole site onto servers we run, with all of its legacy URLs still resolving.
Lifehack Wellness Chiropractic went through a similar move: every page carried to the new host, then redesigned templates for its treatment, location and article pages. In both cases the redirect map was finished before anything went live.
Many established Naperville sites have been live for years and touched by several vendors. That history is valuable, and our development process is designed to keep it while replacing what is broken. Our migration support page lists every check we run.
Every Naperville development project ends up on WordPress, running on our own server.
| Where you are now | Our approach | Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress on budget hosting | Tidy the code and plugins, then migrate to our server | Within the project or care plan |
| Wix, Squarespace or Shopify | Rebuild on WordPress with pages and redirects carried over | Part of the rebuild budget |
| Custom code from a previous developer | Review first, then rebuild or integrate it | Quoted after the review |
Controlling the full stack is what lets us stand behind speed, uptime and security for Naperville clients.
The best test of web development in Naperville or anywhere else is what the site looked like before and after. Our portfolio lets you drag a slider across each business's previous homepage and the version we built.
Lifehack's older site is a good example. The new homepage leads with the conditions the chiropractors handle and the neighborhoods their patients come from, and it sits on a leaner codebase.
We inspect the theme, plugins, hosting and search setup, then rank each issue by what it is costing you.
You approve exactly what gets fixed or built, when, and for how much.
Work happens on a private duplicate you can click through and sign off.
Changes go live at a quiet hour, followed by weeks of error, speed and ranking checks.
Small repairs, such as a failing form or a plugin conflict, move quickly. A full rebuild follows the same four steps over a longer, written schedule, and nothing touches the live Naperville site until you have approved the staging version.

Each is live; test the speed on your own phone. Our build portfolio has the rest.
Steven McVicker (co-owner and CTO) writes the code and administers the servers Naperville sites run on. Paul Weidner (founder and owner) reviews each release from the search side, so a technical change never quietly costs rankings.
For the wider metro, see our Chicago web development page. When the job is mostly visual, our Naperville website design service is the better starting point, and our hosting and development plans explain ongoing care.
A designer decides how the site looks and reads. A developer makes it work: code, server, integrations, speed, security and updates.
Not when it is planned. We map every address, set redirects, test on staging and watch Search Console after launch, as we did for Dawley Logistics and Lifehack.
No. They are Florida-based, keep hours that overlap the Chicago workday, and hold every review over video.
Yes. We integrate the tools you already use and test every handoff from form to inbox or CRM record.
Yes, and it is part of how we work: Naperville builds live on WordPress hardware we look after, with backups, monitoring and security updates included.
If it works but looks dated, start with design. If it breaks, lags or will not integrate, start with development.
We only support sites on our own server; that is how we can stand behind what we build over the long run.
Yes: the Google ratings shown further up come from our plugin, alongside our client portal and a roof estimator on a client site.
They are protected with redirects and monitoring, and our SEO for Naperville businesses can grow them afterward.
Businesses from downtown Naperville's Riverwalk to the Route 59 and I-88 corridors, plus the neighboring suburbs. Development is remote, so location only changes the local details on your pages.
Scheduling is easy: we sit one hour ahead, on Eastern Time.
