Websites that look the part and earn the meeting.

We design marketing websites for companies whose site has fallen behind the quality of the business. Strategy, structure, and visual design, built around how your buyers actually decide.

F&L Epoxy Flooring — Web Design work by Chicago Web Solutions
F&L Epoxy Flooring

Overview

Design is the part buyers see. Structure is the part that sells.

Most redesign requests start with looks: the site feels dated, a competitor just launched something sharper, the sales team has stopped sending the link. Those are real problems, but a new coat of paint rarely fixes them. The sites that perform are the ones where someone decided what each page is for, who reads it, and what that person needs to believe before they pick up the phone.

Our design work starts there. We interview your leadership and sales team, review your analytics and search data, and look closely at how prospects compare you to the two or three firms they shortlist alongside you. That becomes a sitemap, a content plan, and wireframes you can react to before anyone debates colors or photography.

Visual design comes after, and it is built as a system rather than a set of pretty pages: type scale, color, spacing, components, and image direction your team can extend without us. Most design engagements run eight to twelve weeks. Combined with development, marketing sites typically land between $15,000 and $60,000 depending on page count, content support, and custom functionality. We work with companies across Chicagoland and nationwide.

Business problems we solve

Where web design usually goes wrong.

  1. 01

    The site undersells the company

    Your proposals, team, and client roster have grown, but the website still reads like the firm you were five years ago. Prospects who arrive from a referral leave with a smaller impression than the one they came in with.

  2. 02

    Nobody can find the answer they came for

    Navigation grew one request at a time, so services are buried, pages overlap, and the path to contact changes from page to page. Visitors give up before they reach the information that would have convinced them.

  3. 03

    Every new page is a one-off

    Without a component system, each new page becomes a custom design job. Marketing waits on a designer for routine updates, and the site slowly drifts into five slightly different styles.

  4. 04

    It works on a laptop and falls apart on a phone

    Desktop comps get squeezed onto mobile at the end of the project. For many businesses a large share of first visits now happen on a phone, so the compromised version is the one most prospects see first.

Capabilities

What the work includes.

Detail — F&L Epoxy Flooring
  • Discovery and positioning workshops

    Structured sessions with leadership and sales to agree on audience, differentiators, and what the site has to prove.

  • Information architecture

    Sitemaps, page hierarchies, and navigation models tested against the questions real buyers ask.

  • Content strategy and page outlines

    Page-by-page outlines that set message order, proof points, and calls to action before a word of final copy is written.

  • Wireframes and prototypes

    Grayscale layouts and clickable Figma prototypes, so structure gets settled before styling.

  • Visual design systems

    Type, color, spacing, and a reusable component library, documented for your team and future developers.

  • Responsive and accessible design

    Layouts designed at phone, tablet, and desktop widths, with contrast, focus states, and readable type built to WCAG 2.1 AA targets.

  • Art direction

    Guidance for photography, illustration, and iconography so new imagery fits the system instead of fighting it.

Approach & process

How we run a web design engagement.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Stakeholder interviews, an analytics and search review, and a competitive read. Usually two weeks.

  2. 02

    Structure

    Sitemap, content outlines, and wireframes for the key templates, reviewed with your team in working sessions.

  3. 03

    Design

    Two or three visual directions on a real page, then one refined direction extended across every template.

  4. 04

    Prototype and review

    A clickable prototype reviewed with your sales team and, where possible, a few customers before development begins.

  5. 05

    Hand off

    Annotated Figma files, a component inventory, and a design QA pass on the built site before launch.
