Est. 2019Meet the owner
“I work on every project myself.”
I'm Izaac Lopez. I spent years in enterprise infrastructure — service delivery and senior service-desk engineering for managed IT providers — before starting Spark N Code in 2019 to bring that same standard of work to the Lake County businesses national agencies overlook. There's no account manager and no offshore team. When you call, you reach the person building your site.

Questions
The five questions that stop an inquiry.
How much does a website actually cost?
From $150/mo fully managed, or a one-time build you own outright.
Am I locked into a contract?
It is a managed site: the monthly fee covers hosting, updates and ongoing changes, not just the build. At the two-year mark you choose: keep the site and pay only for hosting, move it to another platform, or start a redesign, which restarts the ownership cycle. Want out sooner? You can buy the site out at any time for the build fee.
Do you do the website and the SEO, or just one?
Both — same person, so the build and the marketing actually fit.
How long does a site take?
One to four weeks, depending on scope. Top Job shipped in one.
Do you work outside Lake County?
Kenosha County, WI and Chicago's north suburbs.
Talk to the person who'd actually build it.
Thirty minutes, no slide deck, no hard sell. I'll tell you what I'd do, what it costs, and whether we're the right fit — even if the honest answer is that we're not.
