IT support for the Riverwalk to Route 31.
McHenry’s restaurants, retailers, marine and recreation businesses, medical offices and contractors all depend on technology that works on a busy weekend. We keep it working from our Woodstock base, about 11 miles away.

Drive time is a typical estimate without heavy traffic
A frozen register on a Riverwalk weekend costs more than the repair.
Riverwalk and Green Street
Restaurants and shops that live on weekend foot traffic. Point of sale, guest Wi-Fi and card readers all have to hold up when the crowd arrives.
Route 31 and Route 120
The commercial corridors: medical and dental offices, contractors, and professional firms with patient or client data to protect.
The Fox River
Marine and recreation businesses with seasonal rushes, outdoor equipment, and cameras that need to survive the weather.
Start where McHenry businesses hurt most
A busy weekend exposes weak Wi-Fi, old registers and missing cameras. These three fix the common causes.
Network Design, Setup & Support
Business-grade Wi-Fi and networks sized for the busy weekend, not the quiet Tuesday.
Cameras & Access Control
Cameras and door access for storefronts, docks and back rooms, with remote viewing from your phone.
Web Design, SEO and AIO
Websites that show up when people in McHenry search. It is what we did for a local client, below.
From McHenry we start with a remote session and schedule a visit when something needs hands-on attention. Route 120 makes that an easy trip.

What a local website can do
Cruz Cleaning Service, a McHenry company, came to us with no website and little online presence. In about 60 days it was on the first page of Google for McHenry and several nearby cities, and it kept receiving new leads every week. Results vary by business and market, and no one can promise a Google position.

05 · An illustration
A realistic Saturday
Picture a restaurant near the Riverwalk on a summer Saturday. The dining room is full, the guest Wi-Fi is sharing a connection with the card terminals, and the printer in the kitchen stops. Nothing is broken for long, but nobody can tell which part failed.
Separate networks for guests and payments, a plan for what staff do if the internet drops, and monitoring that tells us something is wrong before the line at the host stand does. This is an illustration of the kind of day the plan is built for, not a client story.
