in three pictures.
- A website that works on every phone. This is Dixon’s Heating & Air, one of my clients.
- A Google listing people can find and call. This is my own, photos and all.
- AI doing a chore. Job notes, turned into a price by ChatGPT.
A client’s site, my own Google listing as a customer sees it, and ChatGPT’s real answer for a made-up job, captured September 2026. The note photo was made with ChatGPT’s image tool.

The person behind the workI like figuring
I like figuring
things out.
I’m Adam Gurski. I run Adam Gurski Creative by myself from Petersburg, Illinois. Restaurants taught me to read the room. Trade work taught me patience and problem-solving. Photography taught me to notice. Working with AI since 2022 has given me more ways to put that curiosity to use.
I like getting close enough to a problem to understand it, making something you can react to, and working through the details until it does what you need.
You work directly with me. I bring the creative and technical sides together, and I enjoy working with people who care about what they’re making.
Listen. Make something. Work it through.
More about my backgroundQuestionsWhat people
What people
ask first.
How much does a small business website cost?
A one-page website starts at $750. A business website, up to five pages, starts at $2,500. A custom website, six pages or more, starts at $6,000. The first year of hosting is included, then it’s $349 a year. Your domain is separate, at cost. More on websites.
How much does AI training cost?
A one-hour working session is $200. A half-day team workshop is $800. A full day is $1,600. Workshops are for up to ten people. Preparation is agreed separately at $200 an hour, and travel is quoted separately. We agree on the total before booking. More on training.
What does an AI consultant do?
I start with the job that keeps coming back. I look at the job, the tools you already have and what a person still needs to check. Then you pick the next step. More on AI consulting.
Can you make videos and graphics too?
Yes. Brand films and editing, logo animation and logos, print and social graphics. Each job is priced before I start.
Can you get my business to the top of Google?
Nobody can honestly promise a search position, and I don’t. Google decides, and how close you are to the searcher counts. I get your details complete and correct, we agree on what to track, and we look at the numbers together.
Can you get me into ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Grok?
Nobody can promise that. These tools read the web. I make sure your site and your Google listing say plainly who you are, what you do and where you work.
Where are you?
Petersburg, Illinois. I work across Springfield, Chatham, and Menard and Sangamon counties. You work with me, start to finish.
