Chicago Web Design Company

Step 1 — Discovery & Strategy We start by learning your business, your customers, and your competition. Before a single wireframe is drawn, we conduct keyword research to map what your buyers are actually searching, then build a content and site architecture plan around those terms. Deliverable: Site map, keyword targets, competitor analysis

Step 2 — Design Your designer creates mockups built for conversion — not just aesthetics. Every layout decision, from where the phone number sits to how the contact form flows, is made with one question in mind: will this generate a call or inquiry? Deliverable: Homepage and interior page mockups for your approval

Step 3 — Content & Copywriting Our content team writes every page with your target keywords naturally integrated — titles, headers, body copy, meta descriptions, and schema markup. You review and approve everything before it goes live. Deliverable: SEO-optimized copy for all pages

Step 4 — Build & Development Your approved designs are built on WordPress (or your preferred platform) with clean code, fast load times, and full mobile responsiveness. We configure Google Analytics, call tracking, and conversion goals before launch. Deliverable: Fully functional staging site for review

Step 5 — Launch We handle domain connection, SSL certificate, sitemap submission to Google Search Console, and a full pre-launch QA checklist. Your site goes live only when everything passes. Deliverable: Live website, submitted to Google

Step 6 — Ongoing Optimization Your website is never finished. We monitor rankings, traffic, and conversion data monthly and recommend updates. Most clients see measurable ranking movement within 60–90 days of launch. Deliverable: Monthly performance report
