Website Design and Development Tailored to Your Company’s Needs and Guaranteed to Build Revenue
Many web development agencies will design a site for you and that’s it. There is often very little consideration on how that site will convert into leads and sales for your business while factoring in its viability from an SEO perspective. As a full-service digital agency, these are the types of things we’re always thinking about during a web design project, which will ultimately set your new site up as a true lead generation tool moving forward.

“We called on Sixth City as well as a number of other companies to make a proposal for a new look, and a better run WordPress website for the Lake County Health District. They were low pressure, more problem solving, and step up where we needed, but also let us do things that we needed. In the end our new look is a very functional well branded site, and they were professional, knowledgeable, and precise with their help in our website build. We went through all of our own content, and up our game as well. So we are pretty pleased with the result.” – Lake County Health District
Why Your Company Needs Web Design Services
Website design is just one of the many building blocks that contribute to a successful business. Because of this, you need to make sure that your website is up to date and easy to navigate, which will help enhance your company’s image and reputation within your industry.
What Goes Into the Website Design Process?
Website design is the process of arranging and maintaining stylized content on a website in order to draw the viewer’s attention, as well as convert potential customers into qualified leads for your business. Aspects such as user experience, user-friendliness, and brand-reflected content go into the overall design of your website.
Why We Recommend WordPress for Your Website
While there are many content management system (CMS) platforms out there to consider when building a new site, there is one our team believes stands out from the rest. Throughout the years, WordPress has proven itself to be the best website platform available when designing and developing a site for various industries.
Here are some reasons why we believe WordPress stands out:
- Ease of use for business owners to make updates
- Allows you to publish and edit your content quickly
- Endless flexibility in terms of functionality and design
- A huge library of free plugins to enhance your site
- Expansive customization abilities to fit your needs
- Comes with its own built-in blog
- Easily adapts to a mobile-friendly interface
The Benefits of a Website Redesign
There are numerous benefits to embarking on a web design project with our Chicago web development agency. This includes the following:
- An overall increase in conversions – Whether you want people to request a demo, fill out a contact form, or even purchase one of the many products from your website, assistance from our web design company will help individuals easily navigate your website and ultimately contact you.
- Compatibility on all device types – With 60% of all online searches coming from mobile devices in 2023, it is important that your newly redesigned website accommodates the needs of the people. That is why hosting and maintaining a website that can easily be accessed from a desktop, mobile device, or even a tablet will help you generate more qualified leads and get plenty of SEO love in the process.
- A bump in organic traffic – If you are combining your web design services with other digital marketing strategies, such as search engine optimization, pay-per-click, or even some paid social media marketing, you should see a definitive boost in traffic to your website. Running multiple digital marketing strategies will ultimately result in more qualified leads and sales in the long run.

Chicago Web Design FAQs
If you are looking for some answers to the most commonly asked web design questions, we have compiled those inquiries, as well as our responses for you below:
How long does it take to build a website?
When committing to a full website redesign, it could take anywhere from 12 to 16 weeks to complete the job. If you are looking for some smaller, quicker fixes to your website, it could take less time than that.
How do I know if my company’s website is already mobile-friendly?
A simple way to check if your website is mobile-friendly is by either checking on your own mobile device to see if your content is easily accessible or even adjusting the window on your computer to see how your site adapts visually. That way you can check to see what is or isn’t working with your website and troubleshoot from there.
Another way for you to check the overall mobile compatibility of your website is by utilizing Google’s free mobile test to see how your page compares to others.
How can I help my company beyond just doing a website redesign?
If you are a small business in the Chicago area and are looking to reach a more location-specific audience, search engine optimization (SEO) can help you. Here are just some of the things you can consider:
- Investing in specialized local SEO practices to better reach the Chicago area
