Our client was very pleased with the results of the new interactive framework and design. This design was used for the build of the web site which began immediately upon completion. Highly recommend!

We originally designed something simple to test a market that quickly blossomed. We were at a crossroads of failing due to demand and not being able to supply or technically move forward. We partnered with Codiant to help write our next chapter. We began the journey by looking for a good code shop that we could work and communicate with. What we found instead was a partner in all facets. Codiant’s team share in our vision and mission. We’ve developed our App, website, and marketing through the firm and have been able to increase our footprint. I highly recommend Codiant for your next project if you are looking for a great partnership and growth.

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
5.0★
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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Some projects are just business. This wasn’t one of them.For more than a year, the Flamingo team worked side by side with me to build Electric Reel Films, the website that represents my life’s work. It contains over 30 original film and television projects, hundreds of pages of content, original artwork, videos, and years of creative development. It was an enormous undertaking, and they treated it as if it were their own.There were countless revisions, new ideas, and creative challenges along the way. Not once did they make me feel like my vision was too ambitious. Instead, they listened, offered thoughtful solutions, and kept finding ways to make the website better than I imagined. Their creativity, patience, communication, and craftsmanship were exceptional throughout the entire process.What they ultimately delivered wasn’t just a beautiful website—it became the permanent home for my creative career and a legacy I’ll be proud to share for years to come. That’s something I’ll never forget.If you’re looking for a team that genuinely cares about your project, treats you with respect, and is capable of building something truly extraordinary, I can’t recommend Flamingo highly enough. They exceeded every expectation I had, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything they did. Thank you for helping make my dream a reality.

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?

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.

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.

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.
