      At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

      DDC has been an excellent partner since we engaged with them in 2023. The DDC team worked with us to completely redesign our website and work to provide ongoing digital marketing services. The DDC team has been responsive, proactive, and thorough with their work. They are also very transparent about how they operate and how much time special projects will require. We have referred DDC to several clients and partners thanks to their outstanding process and product. DDC is a very professional, creative, and well-organized team.

      My experience working with Design in DC was incredible. Everyone was friendly, approachable, and seemed to genuinely care about helping create the best possible website for my business. They were also invested in making sure the process was one in which I enjoyed and felt taken care of. The regular meetings made me feel like I was a priority and that progress was continually being made. I so appreciated the attention to detail in regards to the user experience. The collaboration in understanding my wishes and desires for the website and user experience was met with patience and paying attention to detail on my behalf. Not only were they taking my suggestions but offering their own to help me maximize the potential of my website. The design and functionality is more than what I could have imagined. I know, undoubtedly, that the work that Design in DC did for me will help my business grow. After wasting money in years past on website designers, I was worried I'd be doing hte same here. I was wrong. I don't think I'll ever need to search for another website designer group again. I would recommend this group to anyone I know. Thank you, Design in DC! It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you!

      I'm sure I was one of the more challenging customers Doodle N Dash has worked with. As a senior with limited tech experience, Mo had to guide me through a great deal. I'm certain I tested his patience on more than a few occasions, but he always answered my questions — sometimes more than once — and returned my calls and texts promptly.

      Web Design Review from Joseph Haile

      We had an excellent experience working with Sara and the team at Mojo Media on the design and development of our new EverPatch website. We needed a professional bilingual website that could clearly present our company and products to municipalities, public works departments, contractors, and other infrastructure professionals. From the beginning, Sara took the time to understand our business, our target market, and what we were trying to accomplish. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Whenever we requested a revision or had a question, the team was responsive, patient, and willing to make the necessary adjustments until we were satisfied. What impressed us most was the level of personal attention Sara gave the project. We never felt like just another client. She was accessible, professional, and genuinely interested in making sure the final website represented our company properly. The finished website is professional, modern, easy to navigate, and gives EverPatch the credibility we wanted as we introduce our products to the municipal and infrastructure market. We are very pleased with the overall experience and would confidently recommend Mojo Media to any business looking for a professional web design team that cares about both the quality of the work and the client relationship.

      Sara and the team at Mojo are fantastic at what they do. I reviewed a number of vendors before moving forward with Mojo Media Agency, and Im very happy that we decided to move forward with them. They know their business inside out, from technical knowledge to understanding their audience to platform efficiency. And they are incredibly patient, always enthusiastic, great at problem solving and we are extremely pleased with our final website. I highly recommend Sara and the team, and I have a lot of praise for their technical skills, stakeholder management, and ability to deliver what was agreed (and beyond).

      Web Design Review from Chirag Patel

      Mojo Media did an amazing job building our new website for District AV. We worked with Sara, and she was great from start to finish. From the beginning, she listened to the vision I had for the site, understood our goals, and translated that into a design that was exactly in line with what I was looking for.District AV is a residential technology design and integration company, so it was important that the website felt polished, professional, and aligned with the high-end homes and clients we work with. Mojo did a great job helping us present our services clearly, including lighting control, motorized shades, audio/video, networking, security cameras, smart home control, and support.I've been involved in building a handful of websites in the past, and this was by far the easiest process. Sara was responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept the project moving without making it feel overwhelming. The design was on point from the initial direction I shared, and the final site gave us a much stronger online presence.Since the site is still new, its too early to measure long-term traffic or lead generation results, but the immediate impact is clear. We now have a professional website that better reflects the quality of work we do and gives us a great place to send potential clients, builders, designers, and referral partners.Overall, we're very happy with the final result and would highly recommend Mojo Media to any business looking for a strong website design partner.

Website Development Company Chicago FAQs

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.
  • Web app development: Creating interactive, dynamic online applications (e.g., dashboards, portals, booking systems).
  • 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/hour for 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 typeCostFeatures
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.
  • Product catalogs, secure payment gateways (Stripe/PayPal), inventory management, and AI-driven product recommendations 
Web applications $50,000-$750,000+ 
  • 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:

TierEstimated monthly costWhat's included
Basic$150-$500Security patches, core CMS/plugin updates, monthly backups, and uptime monitoring. 
Standard$500-$2,500All 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.
