Doodle N Dash Reviews & Testimonials
Web Design Review from Anonymous
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 Anonymous
Shane and Mo were fantastic. They blended my ideas with their own professional design expertise into an incredible website - all at a very reasonable price. Communication was quick and updates were completed faster than I could review them.
Web Design Review from Anonymous
Mo and his development team came through for me in a pinch with some urgent development work. The turnaround was incredibly fast and the team executed everything with precision. Very grateful and will definitely work with them again.

Everything You Need to Know Before Hiring Chicago Web Designers
What can a top web design agency in Chicago do for businesses?
It offers custom web design, designing responsive websites that adapt to desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.
Responsive web design is a must for both desktop and mobile devices, considering 60% of web traffic now comes from mobile, and everyone expects a positive digital experience when they visit a website.
When hiring a web design company in Chicago, you can expect a highly responsive website that will keep your customers on the website and potentially generate more leads. Sites that load in 1 secondconvert 3x better than those that take 5 seconds.
Chicago agencies tailor layouts, visuals, and messaging based on your business goals, from brand storytelling to conversion-driven pages, often aligning website structure with paid acquisition efforts such as Google Ads to maximize ROI across channels.
A web design company in Chicago will focus on user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design as part of their web design services, so visitors find what they want fast, lowering bounce rates and increasing leads.
According to agency experts, a user-friendly website helps businesses generate a 20%-300% increase in ROI.
E-commerce websites alone can achieve up to a 200% increase in conversion rate through CRO and UX improvements.
Local searches convert at 28% compared to much lower rates for general searches.
According to Nielsen Norman Group, Chicago web designers build intuitive navigation, clear calls-to-action, and streamlined user journeys, which can increase conversion rates by 200%+ when done right.
The Drum, Website Builder Expert, reports that eCommerce websites lose about $2.5 million in sales due to slow load times each year.
Do Chicago web design companies offer local SEO services?
Yes, they offer local SEO services as part of their SEO strategy. For Chicago businesses, strong local search visibility and a well-optimized website can directly connect to foot traffic and sales.
Statistics also show that 46% of all Google searches have local intent, meaning nearly half of the people searching online want location-specific results.
Chicago web designers offer integrated SEO, with many specializing specifically in local search to help businesses dominate the Map Pack for Chicago’s 77 distinct neighborhoods.
For businesses focusing on local search traffic, investing in local SEO typically returns about $2.50 for every $1 spent.
Leading Chicago web design firms like Orbit Media, LogicsMD, and Proceed Innovative have moved away from retrofitting SEO. Instead, they use a Search-First Design methodology.
Agencies build the site’s hierarchy based on local keyword demand (e.g., "HVAC repair in Logan Square") before a single pixel is designed.
When you hire a Chicago web design agency for a web design project, its local SEO package typically includes a full optimization of your Google Business Profile (GBP), map listing, including AI-ready descriptions for Gemini/ChatGPT.
Complete Google Business Profiles receive 7x more clicks, highlighting the importance of an optimized GBP.
They will also offer local citation building to ensure your Name, Address, and Phone (NAP) are consistent across 50+ local directories.
Agencies are now also optimizing for AI-driven discovery (Google’s AI Overviews and ChatGPT/Gemini) to be the recommended answer when a user asks, "Where is the best web designer near the Merchandise Mart?"
Chicago web design companies like Thrive have reported increasing their clients' AI platform traffic by over 4,000% by focusing on conversational, high-authority local content.
How can I find the best agency on DesignRush that fits my budget?
Rather than researching one by one web design company Chicago wide, DesignRush lets you compare vetted agencies based on budget range, expertise, and past performance.
| High budget: $50,000+ |
|
| Low budget: $25,000-$50,000 |
|
Beyond budget, our agency directory allows you to filter agency profiles by location, area of expertise, agency reviews, client types, team size, and hourly rates.
What red flags to watch out for when hiring these agencies?
Here are the key red flags to watch for when hiring a web design agency in Chicago so you avoid costly mistakes and poor outcomes:
- Slow or unclear communication: If the agency is hard to reach or gives vague answers, the website design project will likely stall later.
- No structured process or timeline: Good agencies outline discovery, wireframes, design, revisions, development, QA/testing, and launch.
- Lack of portfolio or weak case studies: If a web design agency in Chicago can’t show relevant, live examples, especially for local businesses or similar industries, it probably doesn’t have enough experience in the area.
- Instant results or guaranteed rankings: Quality websites take time. No agency can promise specific search rankings. Full SEO without specifics usually means superficial work, not real strategy.
- Reliance on generic templates with no customization: Template-only work often underperforms in UX and SEO compared with tailored designs.
- Unable to explain core technical concepts: If a web design company in Chicago can’t discuss responsiveness, CMS choices, page speed, accessibility, or security, they might not build a modern, scalable site.
What questions should I ask Chicago web designers before hiring one?
Before hiring a website designer in Chicago, you should ask some of the following questions to ensure they are a good fit for your project:
Relevant Background
- Have you worked with businesses similar to mine?
- Can you provide case studies showcasing your past work in detail?
- What programming languages, frameworks, and technologies do you specialize in?
- Does your team have SEO, UX/UI design, content creation, and digital marketing expertise?
Services and Processes
- What tools or platforms do you use for project management and communication?
- How do you manage project timelines and ensure deadlines are met?
- How do you make websites scalable and able to handle traffic spikes?
- Do you offer ongoing website maintenance and support? What are the costs involved?
Related to Your Project
- What technology stack would you recommend for my project, and why?
- What level of involvement do you expect from me?
- Will I be able to manage the content myself easily? If not, do you provide CMS training?
- Can you provide a detailed project timeline with milestones?
Sources
DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:

Web Design Agency Chicago FAQs
What services does a web design agency in Chicago offer?

- Custom website design tailored to your brand and business goals, often mobile-responsive and SEO-ready
- UI/UX design focused on intuitive user experience and clear navigation.
- Front-end and back-end web development, including building the site structure, CMS, and dynamic features. Many agencies also provide full website development services, handling everything from planning and architecture to coding and launch.
- Ecommerce site design and integration (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento).
- Content Management System (CMS) development, like WordPress or Drupal, so teams can manage content easily, including specialized WordPress development for businesses that want flexibility and scalability.
- Content strategy and copywriting for clearer messaging.
- Search engine optimization (SEO) services to improve search rankings and organic traffic.
- Branding and graphic design, creating a cohesive visual identity through custom branding, logo design, color schemes, typography, and other design elements to represent a business's identity and strengthen overall brand identity across digital channels.
- Site maintenanceand support after launch.
- Hosting, security, and performance updates.
How much does a web design firm in Chicago charge for their services?
The Chicago web design market reflects a metro-premium pricing structure, typically 15-25% higher than national averages, due to concentrated expertise in high-performance tech stacks and AI integration, as well as advanced custom web development capabilities.
Web design costs vary widely based on project complexity and the type of agency you hire, but general averages help you budget realistically:
| Type of website | Cost | Features |
| Simple Informational website | $5,000-$10,000 |
|
| Small Business website | $8,000-$15,000 |
|
| eCommerce website | $15,000-$50,000+ |
|
| Corporate/Enterprise website | $100,000-$500,000 |
|
| Custom web application | $50,000-$500,000+ |
|
How many rounds of revisions are standard?
Most Chicago web design companies build revision limits into their contracts to keep timelines and costs under control. The industry norm is 2-3 rounds of revisions included in the standard scope for a typical web design project. After that, extra edits are usually billed at an hourly rate or as a scope change.
One round lets you refine the initial direction, two rounds help tighten UX, layout, and content, and three rounds are common for complex or larger sites (e.g., multi-page or ecommerce). Clear revision limits also help maintain efficiency while still allowing room for client collaboration and positive feedback throughout the design process.
How long does a web design project take in Chicago?
It can take a few weeks to a year for a web design agency in Chicago to design a website, depending on the site’s complexity and the overall digital strategy guiding the project.
- Simple Informational website: 1-4 weeks
- Small Business website: 3-8 weeks
- eCommerce website: 6-16 weeks
- Corporate/Enterprise website: 12-24+ weeks
- Custom web application: 16-52+ weeks
Can I manage the site myself after it goes live?
Yes, you can usually manage your website yourself after it goes live. Most modern websites are built with a content management system (CMS) that lets non-developers update content without coding.
A CMS (like WordPress, Drupal, or headless platforms) lets you add/edit pages, publish blog posts, upload images, and update text via a simple dashboard. Typical agency support includes initial training so your team can update content confidently, documentation explaining how to manage your specific site, and optional ongoing support or maintenance plans if you want help with larger changes.
