Who we are
We are strategists, designers, engineers, and marketers who work under one roof. That matters more than it sounds. When the people who plan a site, design it, build it, and then market it sit in the same studio, decisions do not get lost in handoffs between vendors, and nobody launches a beautiful website that the SEO team sees for the first time on launch day.
Our clients are mostly established companies: professional services firms, real estate groups, healthcare organizations, manufacturers, logistics operators, and growing consumer brands. Many have been in business for decades and have simply outgrown how they present themselves online. Typical engagements range from focused $20,000 website projects to multi-phase software and growth programs well into six figures.
How we staff projects
Every engagement has one lead who stays with it from the first call through launch and beyond. That person knows your business, runs the schedule, and is the one you call. Around them we assemble a small core team sized to the work: usually a strategist, one or two designers, and the engineers or marketers the project needs.
The people you meet in the proposal meeting are the people who do the work. We do not sell with senior staff and deliver with whoever is free. When a project needs specialist skills, such as accessibility testing or native mobile development, we bring those people in for the phases that need them and introduce them by role before they start.
How projects run
We keep the process simple and visible:
- Discovery first. A short, paid discovery phase that ends with a written scope, timeline, and a fixed price or tight range.
- Weekly check-ins. A standing meeting, a shared project board, and a written status update, so you always know what is done, what is next, and what we need from you.
- Work you can see. Figma files and a staging site you can open any time, not a big reveal at the end.
- Decisions in writing. Changes to scope, budget, or timing are agreed before work starts on them, not discovered on an invoice.
- Support after launch. Every build includes a post-launch support window, and most clients continue with a care, SEO, or growth plan.
Aurora studio, Chicago clients, nationwide work
Our studio is at 4012 Fox Valley Center Dr in Aurora, which puts us within easy reach of clients in the Loop, the West Loop, and the western and northern suburbs. We are happy to run workshops on site at your office or at ours, and for many Chicagoland clients a few in-person sessions early in a project make everything that follows faster.
A good share of our work is outside Illinois. For those clients we run the same process remotely, with video workshops, shared boards, and recorded reviews, and we travel for kickoffs when it makes sense.
What we believe
- Plain answers beat polished pitches. If a smaller project, a different platform, or no project at all is the right answer, we will say so.
- Websites are business tools. We measure our work against inquiries, sales, and time saved, not design awards.
- You own everything. Code, content, accounts, and data are yours from day one.
- Build for year two. Clean code, documentation, and training matter more than launch-day polish.
- Senior attention is the product. Experienced people stay close to every decision on every project.
Who we work best with
We do our best work with leadership teams who see their website, software, or brand as a real investment, who can commit someone to make decisions, and who want a long-term partner rather than a one-time vendor. If that sounds like you, we would like to hear what you are working on. Email info@chicagowebsolutionscorp.com or call +1 (331) 223-2189.
The studio
Small senior teams. Close collaboration. No unnecessary layers.
Projects run out of our Aurora studio with clients across Chicagoland and the country. A typical team is a strategist, one or two designers, two or three engineers and a growth lead — working in shared documents, weekly reviews and a staging site you can open any time.

Why Chicago Web Solutions
An agency model built to work better.

-
01
Senior-level team
No junior-heavy delivery model. The people in the kickoff are the people doing the work.
-
02
Strategy before design
We understand the business, the buyer and the numbers before anyone opens Figma.
-
03
Design and engineering together
Designers and developers work the same project from day one, so nothing is lost in a handoff.
-
04
One accountable partner
Strategy, design, development and growth under one roof, with one plan and one point of contact.
-
05
Performance built in
Speed, accessibility and SEO are part of the definition of done — not a post-launch audit.
-
06
Long-term support
Care plans, monthly improvements and a team that still knows your site a year after launch.

Amazing. These folks took my vision and translated it into something I’m proud to have my name on. Alex, the CEO walked every step of the way with me to ensure mutual success. We both won and I’m looking forward to continued collaboration.
