The scorecard

Websites. SEO. AI. Custom software.

Most regional businesses get stuck choosing between a big-city agency that bills like a law firm and an overseas freelancer who ghosts after the invoice. There is a third option: a senior engineer with deep roots in the Valley who owns the outcome.

1 Hole 1

Websites

Fast, modern websites engineered to win business — not templates. Built by a software company, so they load fast, rank well, and convert.

2 Hole 2

SEO

Show up when the Illinois Valley searches for what you do — Google, Maps, and the AI answers your customers are already asking.

3 Hole 3

AI

Document processing, customer support, lead follow-up, back-office automation — AI that moves a real P&L, not a demo that dies on staging.

4 Hole 4

Custom software

The tools your business actually runs on — internal systems, mobile apps, customer portals. Replacing the spreadsheet holding it all together.

Real roots, not a flag pin on a map

We're from around here.

Kevin Champlin has been engineering software for Illinois Valley businesses since the 1990s — an office in LaSalle for years, and an active member of the Illinois Valley Area Chamber of Commerce today. When a local business needs software built, they should not have to explain the region to a firm that has never set foot here. Sponsoring Senica’s Oak Ridge is one more way of backing the community we build for.

Wait — a software company sponsoring a golf guide?

Champlin Enterprises has deep roots in the Illinois Valley. Kevin Champlin ran an office in LaSalle for years and is an active member of the Illinois Valley Area Chamber of Commerce. Sponsoring Senica’s Oak Ridge is one more way of backing the community we build software for. Also — 6,900 yards of oak woodland and water is a good place to talk shop.

What do you actually build?

Websites that win business, SEO that gets you found, AI that automates the busywork, and custom software — internal tools, mobile apps, customer portals. If your business runs on spreadsheets, an outdated website, or software you have outgrown, that is the work. One senior engineer owns it end to end — no junior team, no offshore handoff, no agency markup.

Do you work with businesses right here in the Illinois Valley?

That is the core of it. Manufacturers, distributors, dealerships, healthcare practices, and family-owned operating companies across LaSalle, Peru, Mendota, Ottawa, Spring Valley, and the surrounding region. On-site visits and working sessions are part of how we work — driving Route 251 is not a problem.

How does pricing work?

You pay for senior engineering output, not an agency org chart. Custom engagements start at $10,000, and a productized 2-week AI Sprint is a flat $25,000. No discovery decks, no markup, no junior developer learning on your dollar. The first conversation is free.

The 19th hole

Let's talk over coffee — or nine holes.

If your business is fighting its software instead of running on it, a 30-minute conversation is the fastest way to find out what's possible. No pitch deck, no obligation.
