Our expert analysts ranked the leading web designers in Illinois that build high-performance websites that rank higher on search engines. Use our practical tool to filter listings by size, reviews and budget and select the best fit for your needs.
Organic rankings are determined by five factors: top services, reviews, portfolio, awards/press, and team expertise. Sponsored listings pay for a placement that appears above organic positions. Sponsorship does not affect star ratings or review content - read more on our methodology page.

SmartSites Reviews & Testimonials
Digital Services Review from Paloma Anguiano
Overall I feel very confident working with Patrizia and Darius from Smart Site, they have given us clear explanations and accompanied us throughout the process for the growth of the brand. The attention to us is very fast and they advise us in an adequate way.
Digital Services Review from Brianna Porter
SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand. Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.
PPC Review from Jim Curry
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.

SEO Review from Michael Brumleve
We have used HigherVisibility now going on 3 years. Our SEO rankings and eCommerce sales have been fantastic over that time span. More than I could [have] anticipated. This team knows what they are doing in the complex SEO and PPC world and are a huge asset to us. 3 years ago, we had basically 0 online presence. Now, we are consistently ranking #1 on Google for our best-selling products. (Verified via email)

Have been working with [HigherVisibility] for years, and the quality of their work just keeps getting better. Always there when you need them. Would definitely recommend! (Verified via email)

Web Design Review from Mackenzie Shriner
I contracted design in DC to build me a custom website. they were accommodating of my budget, very responsive, and gave good insight on layout, content and design. the process was very straightforward and the final product is great!
Web Design Review from Jo Maney
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.
Web Design Review from Sapna Doshi, Ph.D.
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!
