The same person from our first conversation to launch.
What I do
Local businesses and the families around them need the same thing from their tech: it should work, and someone should answer when it doesn't.
Main St Businesses
Maple Ave Homes
Wi-Fi, new phones, printers, smart TVs, scam scares, and setting up AI safely for the family.

Websites
Sample sites for made-up local businesses, built on the same system I'll use for yours. On your site, your own photos of your shop and crew replace the illustrations.
Booking buttons connect to a booking tool you already use, and that's included. A live Google review feed is an add-on, quoted on request. The phone assistant is the separate AI receptionist service.
Want to see your business like this? Founding clients see a free preview of their homepage first. If you like it, the first half is due and I build the rest. Start my website.
How it works
Pick what you need and get a private project page with a short checklist. Or ask me a question first. If you don't need me, I'll say so.
No hourly surprises. You'll know the total and the timeline before I start.
You get a private link to review, and you change whatever you want before anything goes live.
We go live together. After that, changes are an email away.
Pricing
Most shops make you call for a quote. Here's what things cost.
Founding five: The first five local businesses get founding prices, and their first month of website care is free. In return, I can show your project as an example. The fine print

Who you'll work with
For 21 years in the Navy, that meant pumps, hydraulics, and engineering spaces, and later the maintenance crew for the Navy's boot camp at Great Lakes: 42 buildings on 240 acres and 2,461 repair requests. The job was to keep things running and to answer when something broke at 2 a.m.
Computers have been the constant since I was about 13. In the last year I built Shprd, a family app with a web version, an Android version, payments, and an AI assistant. That's the toolkit I'm bringing to Main Street.
When you work with Main & Maple, you work with me. I'll explain things in plain English, give you a price before I start, and get back to you within one business day.
Proof of work
Web app, Android app + website
Early accessA family organizer I built from scratch: shared calendar, chores with points and rewards, goals, messaging, a Bible reader, and an AI assistant that can speak its answers. Billing, Google Calendar import, email, and push notifications are all wired in. I also built its website, shprd.us, with a 15-post blog and a waitlist signup.

Questions
Me, Joseph Cannon. I've been building with computers since I was about 13. I served 21 years in the Navy, active duty and then the Reserve, including years running maintenance crews and engineering spaces, and in the last year I built a full family app with a web version, an Android version, payments, and an AI assistant. Main & Maple is how I put that to work for the people and businesses near me.
Kendall County and the Fox Valley: Yorkville, Oswego, Montgomery, Plano, Sandwich, Sugar Grove, Aurora, and the towns around them, roughly 20 miles out. Websites and AI setup can happen anywhere. House calls stay local.
Most websites go live about 7 days after I have your interview, photos, and domain access. AI receptionists take 3 to 5 days after our playbook call. House calls are usually within 2 to 3 days, on a weekday evening or Saturday.
No. Projects have a fixed price we agree on before I start. Care plans and AI receptionists are month to month. The one exception is the "no big upfront cost" website plan: 12 monthly payments, and if you cancel early, the rest are still due.
It can be, when it's set up with care. I configure privacy settings, keep customer details out of places they don't belong, and write the rules down for your staff. If AI isn't the right tool for a job, I'll tell you.
Before launch, you get a private preview and a full round of changes, and anything I got wrong, I fix at no charge. After launch, the care plan covers changes; without it, changes are quoted per job. If something I built breaks, I fix it at no charge.
Main Street is where local businesses live. Maple Avenue is where the families who keep them going live. I work for both.
