Software Development Review from Michael S.
We selected Azumo to develop our software. We transitioned from another development company, so Azumo was initially responsible for migrating our existing code and environments. We are currently still working with Azumo as our nearshore software development team on adding new items to our software.

Claus-Peter Mueller Managing Director at NLB Lease&GO doo
5.0★
Software Development Review from Claus-Peter Mueller
We have engaged Infinum to develop an app that would digitalise our leasing process. From creating the initial offer through the necessary financing application and client identification to the final signature – all the steps required to successfully lease a vehicle or other object can be performed in-app, freeing the users of friction and having to deal with tedious paperwork.The app itself in the background has 30+ integrations, while keeping a seamless and quick to follow process on the front for our users. That application is in production and Infinum is responsible for maintaining it and further improving. After the initial development, we have additionally expanded our scope from vehicles to other equipment. They have also developed a Leasing widget, product which enables quick financing model while purchasing a vehicle online on car seller marketplace pages. At this moment, we are still in partnership with Infinum, and their engagement is mainly focused on localising the app to other countries and supporting us in our further business expansion. The work performed was done in Ruby on Rails and React technology, with support of other services.

eCommerce Development Review from Jeffrey Weiss
I've worked with Table XI for the last 9 years on a University-wide system to manage transactions at over 70 centralized service facilities. It has been an outstanding experience. The system performs well and is rock solid. We've extended the feature set far beyond our initial scope and they've handled our needs without pause. My favorite part is the responsiveness. I've never been left waiting for a reply, and I have never seen an issue go unresolved in a short span of time. Great partners.
Matt Frey Engineering Manager at ShopRunner

Software Development Review from Matt Frey
Table XI did a really good job kicking off the project by helping us with requirements gathering and project planning. They had some great exercises to facilitate this process and I particularly enjoyed how they teased out how flexible we were in terms of scope, budget, quality, and timeline. Doing so helped us ensure our expectations were all aligned prior to starting work. Table XI also maintains a great engineering culture, which was exhibited by their engineers.

I've had the pleasure of working with Motion as both colleague and client. As a colleague I was referred to them for a number of my CEO clients. The high-level coverage they were able to secure was very instrumental in significantly raising the profile of those clients and helping them attract the opportunities they were after. As a client, Motion was able to quickly and innovatively operationalize a successful social giving program to fund a scholarship I started as part of the launch for my new novel. The response was terrific for book awareness and quickly became fully funded. The agency is highly responsive, the staff skilled and engaging. Terrific client service.

We’ve been working with Orbit Media since 2010, and they just helped us successfully launch our second website. Their process is thorough, clear, and easy to manage. Orbit walks you through each step, making sure everything is handled smoothly. They are open to ideas, and even if they don’t have an immediate solution, they always find one and respond quickly. When we’ve needed emergency assistance, they’ve been incredibly responsive, usually within a few hours. We’ve never had issues with our site going down, and I highly recommend this team for their reliability and expertise!

I’ve worked with Caxy extensively over the last ten years, primarily on new Web site development and have always found Caxy to be a great partner. They are extremely collaborative with their clients and use the Agile method to keep clients involved in the project. Each “sprint” of the project is reviewed with the project owner in detail prior to implementation allowing flexibility and changes if necessary. Although solutions, options, and recommendations are made throughout the process, the final decision and direction is always that of the client. The staff is extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable—and the President & CEO, Mike LaVista is honest and stays involved. You will not find a better digital strategy partner than Caxy.

If it were possible to give them 100 stars I would.

I’ve worked with ISimplifyMe on a number of different projects over the years, and I think they are second to none. I am very particular about whom I choose to work with, and had interviewed a lot of companies before deciding to go with ISimplifyMe. I had contemplated going with a local company (Los Angeles), thinking it may be easier to communicate, but with ISimplifyMe the time difference was a nonissue. They replied faster and more thoroughly than local companies, and have been able to deliver time and time again. They have consistently produced high quality work, while being honest, reliable, and trustworthy.

Michael Garrity's Review Sourced from Google
Our ecommerce business has now worked with LaunchPad Lab on two major website redesign projects. The first one allowed us to completely rebuild our site from scratch. They built us our own unique ecommerce management system that gives us greater flexibility than the popular "out of the box" platforms. For most companies our size, these pre-built systems are the only thing available. This upgrade provided a huge boost to our business, making our website more agile and responsive to the needs of our customers. It grew our business by nearly 300% over the course of around 3 years. When we wanted to refresh the look of our site and add more functionality to improve the user experience, it was a no-brainer to return to LaunchPad for help. Like us, their company had grown in the last few years, and this time around, we were equipped with a full-service team of designers, developers, and online optimization strategists who have not only helped improve our website's design and performance, but also shared their years of expertise with us to help us better understand our own goals and how to make smart decisions about what's best for our company and our customers. LaunchPad's detail-oriented approach to their work has helped us get better at making big picture decisions the have long-term money- and time-saving benefits for our business.

Daniel Rowland's Review Sourced from Google
Would avoid at all costs. We spent $200K to develop a software that after one year there own team could not upgrade to work with Salesforce. If you disagree with them they will turn you over to collections without hesitation and no basis. The CEO Scott will then brag that he is an attorney and there is nothing you can do about it. Think twice, there are lots of software companies out there.

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

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:

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.
