We are a full-service website design firm with a large staff of in-house web designers. Our website design team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either custom or template web development services.
As a custom web design company, we prefer to start every Chicago website development service from scratch.
This allows our team to design custom mockups specific to your branding requirements, to show you the look and feel of your future website before web designers start their work. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.
After you approve the custom website design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a completely custom theme. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better page speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Chicago website.
For a custom website with design mockups, our starting price is $9,500 with a 8-12 week turnaround.
If the cost of a custom website isn't within the budget of your Chicago businesses or organization, we offer template-based websites that can save you money!
Instead of creating design mockups and developing your website in a custom theme, we'll hand-pick several website templates that closely match your desired look and feel. Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired template for us to install on your development site. From there, we'll customize the template to match your color scheme and load your content into the template's layout options.
For a web development using a customized website template, our starting price is $3,750 with a 2-3 week turnaround.
The cost of our web design services is based on the amount of time you can afford to allocate toward the development of your website. If you are on a tight budget, we recommend you look at a template-based website design to save money. Alternatively, if customization and performance are of high priority, you could instead consider a from-scratch custom website that starts with a design mockup.
Answer a few simple questions about your project and our Chicago website cost calculator will recommend a budget for your website development. For a custom quote, just call 800-796-8263 or send us an email.
