Award-Winning Chicago Web Design Company

Working with a professional web design agency will give you the tools you need to unlock online visibility, growth and engagement.

Through industry, competitive and consumer research, expert web designers can create custom solutions that convert and retain visitors.

Digital Silk provides comprehensive web design services in Chicago, including custom website design, website redesign, eCommerce web design, and B2B web design.

Our goal is to enhance your digital presence, improve brand recognition and drive measurable results.

It depends on the size of the project. A professionally designed five-page website built on our proven framework can go live in a few weeks, a typical custom project runs 3 to 6 months and a large enterprise build with heavy integrations can take 9 months or more.

Roughly 35–40% of any timeline depends on your side, such as design approvals, content, stakeholder sign-off and user acceptance testing. That’s why we share a dated schedule upfront showing exactly when we’ll need decisions from your team.

Yes, our digital offerings span from initial web development services to ongoing maintenance and support.

Offered in a retainer and as an add-on, these services ensure your website is secure from potential cyberattacks and consistently updated with the latest technologies and trends.

Yes, we specialize in website redesign services aimed at revitalizing your online presence.

Our approach includes analyzing your current site’s performance, identifying areas for improvement and implementing custom designs and functionalities to enhance user experience and conversion rates.

We work with brands across various industries, including eCommerce, B2B, healthcare, finance and more.

Our team tailors web design solutions to meet the unique needs of each industry and client.

Every site we design is custom, built around your brand and the people you sell to. We don’t start from off-the-shelf themes.

To save time and budget, we reuse tested modules from our own library where they fit, like contact forms, so more of the work goes into the parts that set your business apart.

Each project has a dedicated QA engineer. Testing starts with software-assisted checks, then every department reviews its own work against a detailed checklist covering formatting, security, design accuracy, content, SEO, page speed and every contact form.

For development projects, our CTO gives the final approval before deployment, and your team gets a user acceptance testing round to review the site before launch.

Your company does. Once the project is paid in full, the custom code, approved designs and content transfer to you, along with repositories, deployment credentials and production access.

Third-party plugins keep their own licenses, and our internal modules come with a full license for you to keep using. You’re free to move the site to another team at any time.

Yes. We build custom API connections between your site and systems like your CRM, ERP, inventory or accounting software, with error handling and monitoring so failed syncs are caught early.

If a system has no modern API, we’ll scope a middleware approach and tell you the effort involved before any work starts.

Yes. We run premium servers in the United States and Europe with a dedicated DevOps team, SSL, a Cloudflare CDN and firewall, DDoS protection, automated encrypted backups and uptime monitoring.

Hosting comes in three tiers based on your traffic and requirements. If you’d rather keep your own infrastructure, we can deploy there instead.

Before launch, we record a baseline for the metrics that matter to your business, such as inquiries or sales, conversion rate, organic traffic and engagement. After launch, we track the same metrics so the change is measurable.

At the start of the project, we also agree with you on what one extra lead per week is worth, so the target is clear from day one.

The essentials are your business goals, how you sell to and serve customers, the main challenges you’re facing and the history behind the brand.

Analytics access, past sales data, brand guidelines and a list of competitors all help, but they aren’t required. If something is missing, our strategists research it themselves.

Your project starts with a budget broken down by role and task, and your project manager compares logged hours against it every week, so changes are spotted early.

If a request falls outside the agreed scope, you get the extra hours in writing first and decide whether to approve it, swap it for something already planned or move it to a later phase.
