A better home for your business
Chicago
website design.
Bring a distinctive design into a well-built website. We support Chicago brands and creative teams with custom website experiences, Webflow development, and Shopify development for product-led businesses.
A strong creative direction.
A considered finished experience.
Some teams need a partner to plan and design the whole website. Others already have a designer and need development that respects the concept. The first conversation should establish that division clearly, so the work supports the team rather than duplicates it.
For Chicago businesses and agencies, we can scope the website around an approved design, a new brand direction, or a product range. Webflow and Shopify work is planned around the content model, responsive behavior, and agreed platform requirements.
Thoughtful details.
Meaningful next steps.
Website design and development shaped around the decisions your customers need to make.
Shopify for the product story.
Organize product information, collections, and supporting brand content. Scope store tools and provider requirements around how the business actually sells or supports retail discovery.
Design and development with a clear brief.
If the project includes design, establish the visual direction and page structure together. If design is supplied, preserve the intended hierarchy while reviewing responsive behavior.
A foundation for search.
Build descriptive titles, service content, internal links, and appropriate structured data. Match location details to where your business actually operates.
A careful redesign and handoff.
Review important existing pages and plan redirects where needed. Provide training for the agreed platform and establish who handles future updates.
A connected brand experience.
Bring your identity into every page. Logo design, supporting creative, and ongoing marketing can be scoped alongside the website.

questions.
A few things to know before we get started.
Have another question? Get in touchCan you develop a website designed by our agency?
Yes. Colossus is an example of Webflow development for an agency-designed website. We review the supplied design, content, interactions, and handoff requirements, then agree on the build and any remaining design responsibilities.
Which website platforms do you work with?
We build custom Squarespace websites and provide Webflow and Shopify development, with the platform selected around the project. We can also discuss an AI-built website with hosting and ongoing care. We confirm the platform and ongoing costs before beginning.
Can you redesign our existing website without losing important pages?
We review existing URLs, useful content, and the planned page structure. Redirects and content migration are scoped before launch so important journeys are accounted for. No redesign can guarantee unchanged search rankings.
What does a custom website cost?
Custom Squarespace packages start at $2,500. AI-built hosting and care starts at $75 per month, with an initial build quoted separately. Shopify development, larger websites, integrations, and photography are quoted to scope; platform fees are separate.
Will we be able to update the website?
We plan the content around the people maintaining it and provide training for the agreed platform. Ongoing content updates and website care are available when you would prefer a creative partner to handle them.
Where is your studio based, and how do we work together from Chicago?
Our studio is based in Springfield, Illinois, and collaborates remotely with Chicago teams. You work directly with the person shaping the project, with clear ownership of design, development, content, and approvals.
