Cream City Sites

Cream City Milwaukee, Wisconsin 43.04° N 87.91° W

Websites for Milwaukee businesses.

I'm Frank Martin. Cream City Sites is my website shop for Milwaukee's local businesses: shops, bars, restaurants, salons and trades. I also rescue the old business apps nobody can safely change, and I run the stats site for American pro sumo. One engineer, from the first conversation to launch.

Websites

People check your site before they walk in.

Your menu, your hours, whether you take appointments, where to park. People look it up on their phone first, often at night when you can't answer. I build the site that answers them, on your own domain, and you own every bit of it.

Phone first

Tap-to-call, hours and directions at the top of every page, readable on the phone in someone's hand.

In your name

The domain, the site and every login belong to you. I'm an invited helper you can remove anytime.

Easy to change

Edit hours, prices and photos yourself from your phone, or text me the change on a Care plan.

Found on Google

Your Google Business Profile cleaned up and linked, so the listing most people see first points to you.

How it works

  1. A 15-minute chat. At your place or on the phone. You tell me how customers find you now and what you want them to see.
  2. I build it. You see it on your own phone before anything goes live, and we change what you don't like.
  3. You own it. Your domain, your accounts. Edit it yourself, or text me changes on a Care plan.

Legacy X-ray

Rebuild the old app your business can't lose, with proof it gives the same answers.

Legacy X-ray rebuilds business-critical Microsoft Access apps as modern web apps, and takes on Excel/VBA, VB6, FoxPro and FileMaker case by case. Before anyone switches, the new app has to pass acceptance tests you approved, built from what your old app actually does.

  • Free X-ray of one qualifying app
  • Fixed-price rebuilds, from $6,000 for smaller apps
  • Final 40% due only on acceptance

Dohyo Data

Independent stats and records for American sumo.

Professional sumo is brand new in the United States. I built Dohyo Data to keep its record book: rankings, a page for every wrestler, both pro promotions' schedules in one calendar, and results posted live, bout by bout, on event nights.

  • Results posted live on event nights
  • Every wrestler's record and history
  • Every US pro night in one calendar

An independent fan project, not affiliated with any sumo league or promotion.

Cream City Sites is my website business, named for the cream-colored brick Milwaukee is built from. Legacy X-ray and Dohyo Data are my other work. All three belong to my company, Martin Software LLC. I live in Milwaukee, and you deal with me directly, from the first conversation to launch.
