Darren Fox is right at home in his new downtown Oswego office. Fox, of Oswego, is not actually at his home, but he is in an old yellow two-story home at Madison and Washington that now houses various offices.

Fox recently moved Idea Web Design, his Web design and Internet marketing business, to the house at 5 E. Washington St. after starting two years ago in Chicago.

“I got tired of the commute,” he says. Fox now is happy to be close to home serving local and national businesses. Since starting out, Fox has worked with clients all over the map to create websites and marketing materials with a focus on social media.

Fox works with a small marketing team that is big on talent, he says. They have designed websites for many restaurants and other small businesses.

Contact Fox at 312-834-4332 or visit www.idea-web-design.com to learn more about Idea Web Design, now in Oswego.
