Jaroslav Tyman Jr. General Manager at Automation IG

Web Development Review from Jaroslav Tyman Jr.
We contacted Zero Negative about a two stage renewal of our company website with a very aggressive timeline for the first stage. Zero Negative worked and guided us through pulling off the first stage within our timeline while also ensuring that the content and ideas for that stage were readily applicable to the full design. When we got to the full design, they were fully responsible for corralling the various preferences and ideas from our team into a well executed cohesive site. We're now in a good spot and look forward to continuing to work with Zero Negative as our business and needs grow.
Susan E. Roberts Principal at Roberts Communications

Web Development Review from Susan E. Roberts
Zero Negative did an exceptional job designing my website, roberts-communications.com. From the start, they understood that this wasn't just about aesthetics it was about positioning, credibility, and clarity for a senior-level communications brand.They translated a complex, high-stakes business into a site that feels polished, modern, and authoritative without being flashy or over designed. The process was collaborative, efficient, and thoughtful, and they were responsive to feedback while also offering smart guidance when it mattered.The final result reflects exactly how I want Roberts Communications to be perceived: strategic, sophisticated, and trusted. I would highly recommend Zero Negative to anyone looking for a design partner who understands brand, not just web building.

Web Development Review from Anonymous
These guys are the best! We engaged with Zero Negative to develop a comprehensive web-based system for our factory that allows for managing orders, processes, and inventory. This initiative was essential for us to secure a big ticket client. We truly could not have accomplished this without their assistance. They dedicated considerable time to on-boarding and collecting the requisite information, followed by prototyping the software, and ultimately developing it from scratch. Overall, we are very satisfied.

Anonymous Department Director at Gadget Guard
5.0★
Branding Review from Anonymous
I'm a department director at a consumer technology protection company, overseeing our website and Amazon channels. We engaged Netalico Commerce to implement our rebrand and completely overhaul our website's frontend.Netalico successfully implemented our new design and developed custom features for our e-commerce platform. They've become our web development partners, continuously adding integrations and improvements. Using Magento, PHP, and SQL, they built custom features including product registration for lifetime warranties and insurance claim management directly through our site.In 2021, they executed a complex multi-company project integrating our insurance plan data into POS systems across North America, enabling virtual insurance sales at retail locations.I work directly with Mark (CTO & Founder), Emily (E-Commerce Solutions Specialist), Bianca (Project Manager), and Lisa (Chief Design Officer). We've been working together since May 2020 on a monthly retainer basis.Netalico has executed all projects exceptionally well, consistently meeting deadlines and launch dates with accurate quotes. We communicate through weekly meetings, Slack, chat, and email.What impresses me most is their outstanding team structure. They have talented, highly skilled members organized efficiently for optimal project delivery. They make the client experience seamless.

Beauty Marketing Review from Anonymous
I manage a beauty brand, and we engaged Netalico Commerce to handle our web development and email marketing needs.After an initial strategy call to understand our priorities, Netalico Commerce developed a comprehensive plan to address our requirements. They now maintain our Shopify e-commerce platform and implement ongoing updates. The site features shopping capabilities, a blog, and class registration.Katherine, our Director of Operations and primary contact, leads the engagement with support from her design team. The results have been impressive - our conversion rate has increased, and they've outperformed previous developers in efficiency, response time, and organization. They consistently deliver on schedule and within budget, using Trello, email, and Zoom for seamless communication.Their standout quality is their ability to efficiently manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining high standards across all deliverables. Katherine excels at prioritizing our needs and finding effective solutions.Their onboarding process for new clients is excellent - I highly recommend utilizing Trello for optimal collaboration.

Website Redesign Review from Anonymous
I hired Netalico to redesign and develop our e-commerce site for our historic lighting and home decor business. We needed to modernize our outdated WordPress platform and handle our highly customizable products.Netalico rebuilt our site from scratch, creating a beautiful platform that seamlessly manages our complex product customization and integrates with external apps. They developed an efficient product page system and added content capabilities we previously lacked.We worked primarily with Bianca (project manager), a developer, and Lisa (designer). The site launched successfully and maintains our steady revenue stream while delivering the exact customer experience we envisioned.What distinguishes Netalico is their willingness to understand our unique needs rather than forcing us into a template. They listened carefully and tailored their approach accordingly.

UI/UX Design Review from Joe Anandarajah
We partnered with HyperSense through their TechBoost program, and they truly impressed us with their deep understanding of our business needs. They provided invaluable support with our marketing, website, and product UI/UX, which has resulted in significant traction with both customers and investors. As we continue to grow and develop our product, we look forward to working with them again. The HyperSense team is highly skilled, reliable, and trustworthy. We highly recommend their services.
Ele Munjeli CEO at Farmers and Robots
5.0★
UI/UX Design Review from Ele Munjeli
My experience with Hypersense came through their Techboost program for startups. I needed help to design a very complex UI/UX for a website dedicated to planning farm operations with agricultural robotics and other advanced networked devices. While I spent a considerable amount of time in the field gathering requirements, I felt overwhelmed by the implications of designing for such a complicated scenario. Hypersense came to the rescue and delivered a beautiful UI with a clear path for the users (farmers) to explore and develop advanced automation across crops and seasons. It took a lot less time than I expected; the team was engaged and asked all the right questions from the get go. That made it easy to let go and trust the pros at the agency with design decisions. As an engineer, I am one to have my hands on every part of my work, but in this case, I found, to my relief, I could just say: do what you think is best. As a result I learned a lot about my own application. The team did not just design wireframes - they designed elegant interactions and workflows that made sense. The UI prototype was styled as well, and the team provided terrific advice on how to upgrade the existing styles for my applications to give them better web appeal and usability. The resulting design is expressive, engaging and inspired. Hypersense provides service that was more than professional - it was personal. I came away from the work with a better sense of what I am building, how to build it, and how the application will be used. I highly recommend Hypersense and will work with them again whenever I have the opportunity.

Cross-Platform Review from Jessica Queen
HyperSense developed a command dashboard for a new wireless medical monitoring device Omedus is creating. Their professionalism and dedication to the project were wonderful. The figma demo they created exceeded our expectations and we have had significant increase in product interest after using their demo with our customers. Omedus would absolutely recommend them for other companies and we plan to continue to engage their services for our own.

Web Design Review from Christopher Calarco, D.C.
Our company had an excellent experience partnering with Jeremy and the 97 Switch team on our website and SEO. The initial build was on a tight timeline that was kept, and after the sites completion we saw a significant increase in new business coming our way. More medical professionals learned about us and wanted to join our network, which was an amazing bonus of working with 97 Switch. We've committed to work with 97 Switch for the next several years given they have been crucial in guiding our plan for growth.

Web Design Review from Justyna Chrupek
We hired them to build a new website. The website was quickly completed in just a couple months, and weve seen markedly positive results from 97 Switchs efforts. It's a new marketing feature that we use on a daily basis. The improved quality has facilitated our communication and made things much easier. Weve received great feedback from our vendors, investors, and customers who want to view our properties. Internally, our staff is excited to see what's going on in our company. We are definitely proud of our new platform. Our executive team is excited to be featured on the new website; previously, they didn't even want their picture shown. Before this redesign, we were almost embarrassed to send out the link. Now, we can comfortably share it with our investors, potential investors, and landlords so they keep track of our updates on a monthly basis. We love how this site presents the face of our company.
Adam Greenberg President at Topicz

Web Design Review from Adam Greenberg
We've seen tremendous growth and exposure. The website has generated a number of new leads and weve received tons of cold calls from potential clients. This is thanks to 97 Switchs efforts to increase our digital exposure. We communicate primarily via phone and email and theyre highly responsive. I receive a response to emails within minutes and they get back to me within half an hour if I request a phone call. They're able to conduct face-to-face interactions in order to truly understand the goals and business culture of their clients. This allowed them to create a design that accurately represented our brand. I've had nothing but positive experiences with 97 Switch and Id recommend them to anyone.

Consumer IoT Review from Mason Ferlic
GripFusion is a sports technology startup developing Tactile Intelligence. Our flagship product, the ForceBall, is the first grip-sensing baseball. We approached Atomic Object with the challenge to build a React Native iPad app to connect with the embedded electronics over BLE and visualize sensor data in real time. Atomic stepped up to the plate and hit a home run! They took early R&D code and we're able to successfully navigate IoT challenges, large amounts of sensor data, and seamless UX. The developer team worked closely with our technical staff to incorporate evolving firmware and hardware improvements. The design team did hundreds of hours of user discovery and product feedback to ensure we deliver a cutting-edge experience. Overall, Atomic has the breadth and depth to tackle complex hardware-software systems.

As a freelance Video Producer, I recently wrapped up another fun project with the folks over at Atomic Object, and I've gotta say, it was an experience worth mentioning. Collaborating with their marketing team on a series of authentic and engaging customer-facing and internal videos was nothing short of fantastic. Their seamless planning and logistics during pre-production, coupled with easy going personalities during production, made the process a breeze. Post-production brought our collective vision to life with meticulous story editing and videos that reflect their unique culture and values. Their team's dedication to kindness, empathy, and diversity made this collaboration not just successful, but truly enjoyable.

Intersog built my hybrid mobile application some time ago and I'd highly recommend it to others as they're a truly reliable provider. What's more important - they don't just code like many other vendors, but provide clear guidance on how to market and succeed with your app solution!

5 Stars just isn't enough. This company delivered such phenomenal service and flawless product that I can't rave about them enough. I had a consultation with Jeffrey Dirrenberger, the owner of Vault Innovation. He was 100% transparent about everything from pricing, deadlines and quality expectations. His team, consisting of Lauren Crossan, Andrew Radocchia, Jennifer DeLaRosa & Jessica Pitta were hands on with creative concepts, market strategies and future planning. I am beyond satisfied with the results and look forward to working more with this team in the future.

What services does a website development firm in Chicago typically provide?
They provide a broad suite of digital services that help businesses launch, grow, and optimize their online presence, including:
Responsive web design and website redesign: Crafting the website's structure, design system, and information architecture from scratch or redesigning an existing website based on the client’s vision, user behavior research, and industry best practices. It is a core component of Chicago web design, where competition across industries demands both visual appeal and performance.
Custom web development: Architecting and coding web applications with bespoke functionalities, data models, and system integrations to align with precise business logic and operational workflows.
Content management system (CMS) development: Building custom or extending existing platforms (e.g., WordPress, Drupal) to enable non-technical users to create, edit, and manage web content.
Front-end development: Coding the visual parts of a website (what users see and interact with) using technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Back-end development: Building server-side functionality, databases, and business logic that power features behind the scenes.
API and Third-Party Integrations: Connecting the site with external systems (e.g., payment processors, CRM platforms, marketing automation tools, and Google Analytics) for expanded functionality.
Maintenance and support: Updating platform dependencies, applying security patches, debugging, and optimizing code to ensure the website remains secure, stable, and performant while supporting timely delivery of updates and feature enhancements.
What should I have ready before contacting an agency?
Before contacting a Chicago web development company, prepare the following to save time, cut costs, and get accurate proposals:
Business goals: What you want the website or app to achieve (leads, sales, brand awareness).
Target audience: Who will use it (age, industry, behavior).
Scope and features: Clear list of needed features (eCommerce, login, forms, booking, CMS).
Content inventory: Any existing site content, branding, logos, and images.
Technical requirements: Preferred CMS/stack, integrations (CRM, payment, Google Analytics tracking).
Design references: Examples of sites you like or dislike and why.
Budget range: A realistic amount of money you can afford to build a responsive website
Timeline: Desired launch date and any hard deadlines.
Internal roles: Who on your team will own reviews, content edits, and approvals.
How much does a web developer in Chicago charge for their services?
The cost of web development in Chicago reflects a major metro premium, typically 15-25% higher than the national average. If you hire a boutique agency, expect to pay between $150 and $250/hourfor their web development services.
Enterprise-level agencies, on the other hand, charge much higher fees, ranging between $250 and $450. The costs of web development can range anywhere from $5,000 for a simple website to over $500,000 for complex enterprise solutions.
Most web developers Chicago-wide prefer flat-fee project pricing for new builds. In Chicago, these projects typically fall into these tiers:
Website type
Cost
Features
Small business site
$5,000-$75,000
5-20 pages
Mobile-responsive design, basic SEO setup, contact forms, and Google Business Profile integration.

$15,000-$45,000
20-50 pages

ECommerce websites
$30,000-$1,000,000+
Shopify Plus, Magento (Adobe Commerce), or custom WooCommerce.
Tech Stack: React, Node.js, Python/Django, or Next.js.
Do these agencies provide ongoing maintenance?
Yes, ongoing maintenance is a core service for almost every web development company Chicago-wide. The city is home to many enterprise-level firms and highly competitive local businesses, so agencies will not build a custom site without offering a maintenance plan, as it protects their work and ensures the site stays secure in a high-risk digital environment.
Based on several industry benchmarks, you can expect to pay the following fees for website maintenance:
Tier
Estimated monthly cost
What's included

Standard

All basic features plus content updates (blogging), minor UI tweaks, and monthly SEO/performance reports.
Enterprise
$2,500-$10,000+
Dedicated development hours (10-30+ hrs), priority support, ADA compliance audits, and conversion rate optimization (CRO).
Why is a Chicago website development company more expensive than an offshore one?
While offshore teams in regions like Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, or Latin America offer lower headline rates, the price gap is driven by economic, legal, and operational realities. United States developers require significantly higher wages due to the higher cost of living, taxes, benefits, and competitive demand. On the other hand, many offshore regions have lower labor costs, which is why offshore hourly rates can be 40–70% lower.
Working with a Chicago web development agency eliminates large time-zone gaps and language or cultural friction that can slow decision-making, require more project management, and increase rework costs when teams are offshore. Onshore firms are also more likely to be aligned with U.S. data privacy, accessibility, industry compliance, and contract law expectations. Offshore providers often win on headline hourly rates, but local Chicago development companies tend to deliver better alignment, clearer communication, fewer delays, and lower total effort risk.
