Problems we fix every week
Whatever is slowing you down, chances are we've fixed it before. Here's where most people start.
Website down, slow or outdated
Broken forms, slow pages, a site nobody can update: we fix it fast or rebuild it right.
Getting paid takes too long
Online invoices, card and ACH payments, and reminders that go out on their own.
Computers, Wi-Fi and security headaches
Friendly IT help, secure accounts and real backups, so tech stops eating your day.
Spreadsheets and software that don’t fit
Custom tools built around how you actually work, ready in weeks, not months.
Your whole tech department, one team
A five-person business can’t hire a web developer, an IT tech, a security expert and a software developer. You don’t have to. We become your technology department.
A professional website
Fast, easy to update and easy for Google and AI assistants to find.
An AI receptionist
Every call and message answered day or night, with hand-off to you.
Automated customer communication
Confirmations, reminders, follow-ups and review requests that send themselves.
Online payments
Cards, ACH, invoices and text-to-pay, matched to your books.
Custom software
The tools spreadsheets can’t handle, built around how you work.
Cybersecurity
Protection from hacks, phishing and fake-invoice scams.
A private AI assistant
Answers from your own documents and procedures, kept private.
Ongoing tech support
One number to call when anything breaks, from laptops to logins.
A private AI assistant that knows your business
Thousands of pages of procedures, manuals, customer notes and policies, and nobody can find anything. Give your team an assistant that answers from your own information, cites the source and only shows people what they are allowed to see.
- How do we handle this particular customer situation?
- What is our procedure for this repair?

Frequently asked questions
What does Wisconsin Tech Shop do?
We design, build, host and support websites, online stores, Stripe payment systems, self-service payment kiosks, shipping and fulfillment software, CRMs, client portals, IT support and cybersecurity for Wisconsin businesses of every size, quickly and at a fair price.
Where are you located, and which areas do you serve?
We're rooted in Wisconsin and serve businesses nationwide. Across much of Wisconsin, including Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Appleton, Kenosha, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Wausau and the Northwoods, we can work on site. Everywhere else in the U.S., we work by video call, screen share and secure remote access, and ship hardware like kiosks pre-configured and ready to plug in.
How much does a project cost?
Small projects start around $375, most small business websites run $1,250–$5,000, and custom software and kiosk projects are quoted individually. Every project gets a fixed quote; see the pricing page for starting prices.
Do clients get a portal?
Yes. Every client can log in to see project progress, milestones, invoices, payments, site health and messages in one place.
Do we own what you build?
Yes. We build it, launch it and hand you the keys: code, accounts, domain and data in your name. If you would like us to host and look after it, we can do that too.
How fast can you start?
Quick fixes often start the same day, and most projects begin within a few days of saying yes. Your quote includes a clear timeline.
Can you help my business show up in ChatGPT and other AI assistants?
Yes. We build sites with structured data, llms.txt files, markdown versions of pages, AI-crawler access and agent endpoints: the same setup this website uses.
