Web Design & Development Process

  • 1 Discovery phase

    We start by assembling your project team and diving into interviews to understand your business, product, and goals. We gather any materials: content, logos, analytics, and research your niche, competitors, and design trends. This all forms the groundwork for your site’s structure.

  • 2 Wireframing & Design

    As a full-cycle web design company, we begin with precise planning: starting from wireframes — blueprints that define each page’s structure, UX flow, and content logic. Then we move to visual design, crafting a concept that captures the site’s look and feel. After approval, we deliver polished designs for every screen, including mobile.

  • 3 Development

    Here, our developers bring the static design to life. We code the necessary features, add integrations, and optimize for SEO and performance to ensure everything runs fast and smooth. The result? A fully functional website built to spec.

  • 4 Quality assurance

    Testing is key. We run checks for design accuracy, browser compatibility, responsiveness, and functionality. Plus, we do final tests after content is added and right before and after launch.

  • 5 Launch & Maintenance

    We prepare everything for a smooth launch on your server and domain. After going live, you own it all. We also provide a month of free support to fix any bugs you find (if any!).

LET’S CLEAR THINGS UP

  • How much does web design in Chicago cost?

    The costs vary widely and depend on the scope of what you need — the size of your site, the level of custom design, and any integrations or special features. We usually tailor quotes to the project after understanding your goals, your audience, and the complexity of the work. Please reach out to explore your options.

  • How long does it take to design a website?

    With most web design firms in Chicago, you can expect a complete project, from discovery through launch, to take around 8-12 weeks; simpler redesigns may finish in 4-6 weeks, while large-scale e-commerce or custom builds may require 3-6+ months.

  • Do you only work with clients in Chicago?

    No — although we’re familiar with local business needs, our team partners with national and international clients too, offering the same high service standard as the best web design companies in Chicago regardless of location.

  • Can you redesign my existing website?

    Absolutely — we specialise not just in new builds but also in redesigns. Our team will evaluate your current site’s usability, performance, brand alignment and content architecture, then propose a modern, conversion-focused redesign. If your current website feels outdated or underperforming, reach out and let’s fix it.
