Marcus Smith's Review Sourced from Google
Our organization, FirstCall Labor Solutions, launched a project to redevelop our website which required us to interview a number of firms to help us. Through this process, Daniel at Windy City Web Solutions stood out and a good blend of visionary and pragmatist.WCWS was able to take our brand identity, business model, and mission statement and translate that into a well thought out, user friendly website. Their process was iterative and allowed for changes right up until we went live.When the project came to a point where a creative art director was necessary, WCWS was able to refer a firm that was effective and efficient.I would recommend WCWS.

I worked with Daniel to create a new website for a nonprofit client. Daniel created a stunning website that is super accessible and straightforward for our users. His knowledge of web design and best practices, along with his creative techniques, made all the difference in developing our new site. In addition, his ongoing support and security package is super helpful for our team.

Audrey Brill's Review Sourced from Google
Daniel was very communicative throughout the entire process and made everything easy to understand. He was patient and flexible when we changed our minds or requested revisions. Whenever something couldn’t be done exactly as we asked, he took the time to clearly explain why and worked with us to find the best possible solution. In the end, he helped create a website that looks great and that we’re really happy with.

SEO Review from Tim Cardona
Noah and his team have been so amazing for my automotive detailing business. I didn’t understand SEO at all but I knew I needed it to grow my business. When I first talked to Noah he wasn’t pushy on selling me anything. Just simply broke everything down for me to understand and made it work for me. He has helped my business stay competitive and on target with SEO and my website! I can’t thank Epidemic Marketing enough it has been over 2 years now I have been with them and I’m glad!!

CRO Review from Brian Hong
Noah is a wealth of information and someone I have the pleasure of working with. He provides extremely actionable insights with conversion rate optimization, as well as advanced SEO techniques that move the needle.We have worked on several CRO campaigns that helped turn more visitors into customers which made our dollar work harder for us and Paid Media campaigns. He’s a true pro and even better human.

SEO Review from Marty Marion
I never leave reviews, but once in a while the work quality is so good I make exceptions.This is one of those times. Noah provided very advanced SEO work for one of my largest clients, fron scratch, finding and fixing SEO technical issues and conversion optimization issues that made a major difference for my client in both organic traffic and conversions.Traffic from search increased more than expected. Conversions to sales increased by about 20% plus an increase in AOV. Combining both an increase in traffic and an increase in conversions and an increase in AOV is nothing short of a home run.I will be channeling more of my clients' SEO and CRO to Epidemic for sure. Great people to work with, awesome results. And I teach digital marketing professionally.Marty MarionCEOMaster Positioning, LLC

Web Design Review from Leon Turkin
I couldn't ask for a better experience with an SEO company. They are diligent, responsive, cost effective, and most importantly honest about the products that my company needs and doesn't need. They're not looking to make a quick buck, but rather build a long term fruitful relationship, which is much appreciated.

Frankie Shaw's Review Sourced from Google
The onboarding process was smooth, but after six months, we saw very little movement in our organic traffic. Every time we brought this up, we were told that SEO 'takes time' and to 'trust the process.' While I understand that, I felt there was a lack of urgency in pivoting our strategy when the initial keywords weren't performing as promised.

Jenny S's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Straight North was an incredible experience from start to finish! When I started looking for web designers, I narrowed it down to four companies, and Straight North was the only one who really took the time to get to know me, our business, and why our goals matter. That personal connection made all the difference.Once we got started, I was blown away by the thought and detail that went into every part of the process. What stood out the most was how open and receptive the team was to my feedback. I truly felt like a part of the process, not just another customer.Our new website is absolutely stunning and perfectly captures who we are and what our brand stands for. I couldn’t be happier with the finished website or with the experience of working with Straight North.Building a great website is truly a collaborative effort, and I’ve learned that the more you put in, the more you get out. I encourage anyone working with Straight North, or any design team to be open, share your vision, and really take the time to engage in the process. The result will be worth it, I promise!Thank you, Straight North, for an amazing experience and a website that we’re so proud of!

john renshaw's Review Sourced from Google
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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.

We’re very happy with the final product and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional, reliable web design 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:

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.
