About Us
We’ve been building websites for over 15 years, and we’re pretty passionate about what we do. Based in Evanston, we love working with businesses here in the Chicago suburbs and beyond. Whether you’re a local shop or a national brand, we’re here to help you stand out online.
El Dorado Creative specializes in crafting custom websites that look great, work seamlessly, and leave a lasting impression. From e-commerce stores to dynamic content platforms, we bring together design and technology to deliver websites that aren’t just functional—they’re downright exciting.
Building Meaningful Connections Online
For us, the web has always been about connection—not just through technology, but through people. It’s a space where ideas are shared, relationships are built, and brands come to life. That’s what drives El Dorado: crafting websites that create meaningful experiences for users while reflecting the personality and purpose of the businesses behind them. At the core of every project is a commitment to thoughtful design, clear communication, and making the web a more engaging place—one site at a time.
That approach has shaped work across industries and scales—from small local shops to major national brands. These days, El Dorado works directly with small businesses, startups, and creative teams who care about building something exceptional.
Paving the Way for a Brighter Web
Built with Integrity
With over 15 years of experience, we hand-craft every website with precision, clean code, and a commitment to quality—built to shine now and for the long haul. We don’t cut corners, upsell what you don’t need, or rely on bloated, one-size-fits-all solutions. There’s no fool’s gold here—just thoughtful work that’s built to last.
Made for People, By People
Technology should serve people—not the other way around. Every website we create is grounded in how real users think, move, and interact online. Unlike automated site builders or generic templates, our work is crafted with human insight and intention—designed to feel intuitive from the very first click.
Effortless Accessibility
A well-built website should never be confusing or frustrating to use. We design clear, intuitive experiences with thoughtful structure and smooth interactions—so every visitor can navigate with ease. Accessibility isn’t an afterthought; it’s built into every site from the start, ensuring it works for everyone, on any device.
Shaped by Time, Ready for What’s Next
We’ve been at this for 15 years and long enough to see all kinds of projects. We’ve worked with small businesses, agencies, solo founders, nonprofits and teams of designers. Every one of those experiences has taught us something, and we’re grateful for all of it.
They’ve helped us sharpen not just our skills, but our perspective– what kind of work we want to do, where we bring the most value, and who we are, not just as developers, but as collaborators.
We believe in building things that last.
Clean, clear, scalable solutions, made by hand, with care and intention.
We value process, communication, and mutual respect.
If that’s how you like to work too, we’re looking forward to hearing from you.
