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.
Justyna Chrupek Office Manager at ECD Company

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.

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.

Atomic Object Reviews & Testimonials
Mason Ferlic CEO at GripFusion
4.8★
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.

Atomic Object is one of the best companies across the board in Michigan. Fantastic maker of custom-software solution and a model of organizational thought leadership. I've been working with the company in some capacity for nearly 20 years and learn something new in every interaction I've ever had.More than that, they are a value-centered organization that you will be proud to partner with. They've built this company the right way. An impactful community leader and employer of choice.

Rik Cordero's Review Sourced from Google
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.

My husband and I own a start up and have worked with Aly, Justin, and Austin at Clique for a complete rebranding and website redesign and are now working with Jeff for continuous marketing and managing our ad spend. I can’t say enough good things about this team and this company. They are creative, innovative, dedicated, and they CARE. They treat our business as their own, asking thoughtful questions and guiding us through our growth. Our new site visits have conversion rates have skyrocketed, doing daily numbers that our old site and unstructured marketing did in months. I can’t say thank you enough to this team.

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.
Corporate Website
$15,000-$45,000
20-50 pages
Custom CMS configurations, team profiles, gated content (whitepapers/case studies), and CRM integration (Salesforce/HubSpot).
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
Basic
$150-$500
Security patches, core CMS/plugin updates, monthly backups, and uptime monitoring.
Standard
$500-$2,500
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.
