Chirag Patel Owner at District AV

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.

WebLitchi Reviews & Testimonials
Geoff Den Business owner at American Pools LLC
5.0★
WordPress Website Design Review from Geoff Den
Our collaboration with WebLitchi has been a transformative experience for our Pool & Spa Services company. From the outset, our goals were clear: enhance our online presence, receive expert guidance on marketing strategies, and revamp our website. WebLitchi's team, comprised of a CEO, copywriter, designer, developers, project manager, and customer relationship manager, exhibited a remarkable level of flexibility and efficiency. Their ability to work with minimal client involvement was particularly impressive, allowing us to focus on our core business while they executed the redesign and development of our website and implemented effective marketing strategies.The project's measurable outcomes have been undeniably positive. WebLitchi's marketing efforts led to a sustainable flow of prospects, contributing significantly to our business metrics with approximately 30% of all jobs originating from their strategies. The enhanced website not only improved visual appeal but also translated into a better user experience, reflected in decreased bounce rates and increased engagement. Throughout the collaboration, WebLitchi's project management was commendable, delivering items on time with occasional delays largely attributable to our team's availability constraints.While the collaboration has been overwhelmingly successful, minor areas for improvement could include refining communication channels and enhancing proactive suggestions for strategy optimization. Nevertheless, these considerations do not overshadow the overall positive experience with WebLitchi. Their responsiveness, commitment to results, and unique ability to adapt and deliver have positioned them as a valuable partner in our journey to elevate our business in the competitive Pool & Spa Services industry.

Web Design Review from Jennifer Barr
What stands out most about WebLitchi is their ability to transcend the typical client-vendor relationship and truly act as strategic business partners. The depth of their involvement goes beyond merely providing services; they demonstrate a genuine understanding of our business goals and consistently align their efforts with our best interests.WebLitchi's unique approach lies in their proactive contribution to the projects. They don't merely execute tasks; they actively engage in discussions, provide valuable insights, and, when necessary, push back on suggestions that may not align with the overarching goals. This collaborative and consultative stance distinguishes them as a partner deeply invested in the success of our brand.The company's commitment to holistic business growth is evident in their impact on various facets of our operations. From improving brand perception to attracting talent and driving increased online transactions, WebLitchi has proven to be not just a service provider but a catalyst for positive change and advancement.what is most impressive about WebLitchi is their ability to transcend the conventional client-agency dynamic, functioning as true business partners with a vested interest in our success. Their collaborative approach, strategic insights, and tangible contributions to overall business growth make them stand out in the digital services landscape.

WordPress Website Design Review from Tia Blakely
WebLitchi Web Agency has been an invaluable partner for our small private equity firm, ANI, located in the suburbs of Chicago. We initiated our collaboration in 2018 with the goal of revamping our outdated website, and WebLitchi has delivered beyond our expectations.What impressed us most was the unwavering professionalism exhibited by the WebLitchi team. They consistently met deadlines, maintained transparent communication channels through both email and phone, and demonstrated a proactive approach to addressing any challenges that arose during the project. This professionalism not only instilled confidence in their capabilities but also fostered a collaborative and efficient working relationship.Navigating the development of a new website from scratch was a first for our team, and WebLitchi's patience throughout the process was instrumental. Their understanding and guidance made the journey more manageable, creating a supportive environment for collaboration. This patient approach significantly contributed to the success of the project.WebLitchi's creativity added a distinctive touch to the collaboration. They didn't just fulfill our basic requirements; they brought innovative ideas to the table and suggested enhancements that elevated the project. This creative input played a crucial role in developing a website that not only met our technical specifications but exceeded our expectations in terms of design and functionality.our experience with WebLitchi has been overwhelmingly positive. Their professionalism, patience, and creative prowess have made them a valuable partner in the success of our website development project. We appreciate their dedication to excellence and look forward to continued collaboration.

Digital Marketing Review from Rita Dragonette
I've had the pleasure of working with Motion as both colleague and client. As a colleague I was referred to them for a number of my CEO clients. The high-level coverage they were able to secure was very instrumental in significantly raising the profile of those clients and helping them attract the opportunities they were after. As a client, Motion was able to quickly and innovatively operationalize a successful social giving program to fund a scholarship I started as part of the launch for my new novel. The response was terrific for book awareness and quickly became fully funded. The agency is highly responsive, the staff skilled and engaging. Terrific client service.

We've worked with Thunder::tech to replace our cooperative's website. They have delivered as promised and more than expected in a professional and timely manner. Their team members are creative, technical and professional experts. We're looking forward to working on a second phase of the project with them starting soon. T::T is big enough a agency that they have multiple experts on the team with overlapping knowledge to get the job done, but not such a huge company where one might get lost as a client. As a web and digital media pro with 20+ years of experience, I recommend Thunder::tech. - JF

The most horrible people! They are very reckless, don’t show up to appointments. Not once, not twice but thrice. You call to ask they dodge your calls.Don’t expect call backs. I went to Derek and texted him several times about this and asked to call. Nothing! Figured a month would be long enough. Don’t waste your time on these people

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.
