Our Website Development Process In Chicago
Developing a high-performing website requires more than code — it’s a structured process that combines strategy, technical precision and market insight.
Our Chicago web development agency approaches every project with clear planning, focused execution and measurable outcomes that support business objectives and functional demands.
Our team begins with a detailed assessment of project scope, platform requirements and functional priorities.
Planning sessions focus on aligning layout goals with backend structure, navigation logic and usability expectations. This stage also includes early collaboration between designers and developers to ensure architectural efficiency.
We define timelines, identify potential development challenges and map out the technical framework needed to support the build.
We create interactive prototypes in Figma using a flexible, component-based system tailored for efficiency and clarity.
Each section of the site is built as a standalone Gutenberg block using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), allowing for structured content and modular design. Our developers use PHP, JavaScript, HTML and CSS to ensure the prototypes translate accurately into final production.
Our Chicago web development agency uses this phase to validate layout, functionality and user flow before moving into full development.
Next, our developers build the site’s full structure using clean, scalable code that supports both performance and long-term flexibility.
As a Chicago web development agency, our team follows established best practices and coding standards to ensure performance and reliability.
We conduct detailed reviews of both front-end and back-end code before deployment, using quality assurance tools and test cases to confirm accuracy, stability and scalability.
After launch, our team provides ongoing support through regular updates, site monitoring and performance optimization to ensure long-term stability.
We supply detailed documentation covering CMS structure, plugin configurations and custom functionality, making content updates simple for your internal team. Our Chicago web development agency also offers training to help teams manage day-to-day site operations effectively.
Support plans are tailored to platform needs and business requirements, ensuring your site remains secure, efficient and up to date.
