Choosing
Should you choose WordPress, a custom site or a website builder?
WordPress suits a team that publishes often and wants to edit most of the site itself. Its plugins give you options for adding features, though someone needs to keep the installation updated for security. A custom Next.js site suits a business that wants fast pages, tighter security and a design without template limits, and is happy to ask a developer to make structural changes. It can still have a content editor. We recommend an approach after learning how your team works.
A hosted builder such as Wix, Squarespace or Webflow suits a small site that an owner wants to run alone. You trade some control over the code and speed for that convenience, and moving away from the platform later can mean rebuilding the site. Before choosing, consider who will make routine changes and who will handle larger ones.
Local
What Illinois businesses need from their websites
Manufacturers and food processors in the Chicago area need a clear way to present what they make and supply. Capability and product pages, certifications and downloadable specifications help a buyer assess a supplier, while a quote form should ask for enough detail to make a useful response.
For businesses serving the industrial and agricultural hubs in the north and centre of the state, enquiry handling deserves attention in the build. Decide where requests go, who receives them and what the confirmation says; mobile visitors also need a clear route to call or use WhatsApp.
A startup presenting a product to audiences around learning centres such as the University of Chicago or the University of Illinois needs a plain explanation of what the product does and a way to join a waitlist or book a demo.
Rules
What a US website project needs to handle
For a business open to the public, US guidance says the ADA covers the goods and services it offers on the web and identifies WCAG as helpful guidance. Agree an accessibility target in the brief. We set up that target with you and use WCAG to guide the page designs for desktop and mobile, so you have a specific basis for reviewing the work before the build starts.
How it runs
How a website project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and a shared project board. India is ahead of the mainland US: the difference runs from 10h30m (Eastern) to 13h30m (Pacific) in winter, and is 1 hour less during daylight saving time except in Arizona. The shared board gives us a place to keep feedback and project work visible across that difference.
- 01
Discover
Tell us who buys from you, why they choose you and what visitors should do. We learn about your audience and goals, then agree the scope with you.
- 02
Design
We prepare the sitemap, wireframes and page designs for desktop and mobile. Your feedback helps us refine them before the build.
- 03
Build
We develop the site in code or a CMS your team can edit, then test it on real devices and browsers.
- 04
Check
Proofread every page, submit each form and confirm who receives the messages. This is your chance to catch small errors before visitors see them.
- 05
Launch
We set up the domain, email, analytics and Search Console, then walk your team through the site.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Start with the action you want from the site and who will handle each enquiry.
- List your services or products in order of importance to the business.
- Gather your logo in a vector format, your colours and fonts, or note what still needs creating.
- Choose a few sites you like and dislike, with a reason for each choice.
- Find the account details for your domain, hosting, email, analytics and Search Console, or identify who holds them.
- Collect real photos of your team, premises and finished work; book photography ahead if needed.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline of a website?
Features beyond a brochure site add design, build and testing work.
Content readiness
Copy and photos ready to publish keep the work smaller; adding writing, photography or translation expands it.
Content migration
Blog posts, news archives and downloadable files from an old site need moving and checking.
Brand readiness
An existing logo and style guide take less design work than deciding the logo, colours and typefaces during the project.
Separate editor
A custom front end paired with a separate content editor supports heavy editing, but adds moving parts to host and maintain.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid when planning your website
Choosing the platform too early
First decide who will update the site and how often, then use those needs to guide the choice.
Reviewing only on a large screen
Check every page on a phone, where visitors also need to read and act easily.
Copying every old or competitor page
Keep the service pages clear and the site manageable for your team to update.
Leaving search setup until after launch
Check page titles, the sitemap and any indexing block before the site goes live.

Questions
Asked by businesses in Illinois
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to have a website built?
There is no fixed price. The scope of the pages and features, the readiness of your content and the work needed to prepare your brand for the web shape the quote. Decide who will provide service descriptions, team bios, case studies and photos. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Is website development still worth paying for?
It can be worthwhile when the site gives visitors a clear way to enquire and gives you a way to measure those actions. Track form submissions, calls and WhatsApp clicks as conversions in analytics, then check which pages visitors started from. Search-ready pages also include metadata, structured data and a sitemap.
Should I choose a template or a custom design?
A template fits a simple site with a tight brief; a custom design fits a brand, audience or body of content with specific needs. If you choose a template, rework it around your real content so the page structure fits what you need to present.
What is included in the website build?
The build includes development, an editor and search setup. We use Next.js for custom development or WordPress when your team needs full editing control, and provide an editor for pages, news, projects and careers. Search setup includes page titles and descriptions, heading structure, an XML sitemap and structured data.
Will I own my website?
Yes. You own the domain, content and code, with no lock-in. Your business should also hold the domain and hosting accounts in its own name and grant access to the people working on the site. That keeps control of those accounts with you after handover.
Can you support the site after launch?
Yes. Ongoing support follows launch, after the domain, email, analytics and search setup. It also helps to nominate someone in your team to keep news, projects and job posts current, so visitors do not arrive at a page whose newest update is years old.
