Comrade provides full-service digital marketing and web design services in Chicago and nationwide. Here’s what we can tell you about our “secret sauce.”
Your website is a business tool intended to deliver measurable results (leads and sales).
This is why Comrade’s web design services are centered around delivering on this primary objective.

Unlike many national web design firms or web design agencies in Chicago, Comrade’s website design services are just one part of a comprehensive marketing strategy tailored to your business. Your new website will not only look great but also deliver more qualified leads, a higher conversion rate, and better support your sales process.

Comrade’s website optimization features will encourage visitors to provide you with valuable information to meet their needs.
Current and prospective customers and employees visit your website to determine whether to engage your business. A better website significantly increases the chances that those prospects do.
Our team has seen first hand the detrimental impact a poorly designed website can have on a business. In fact, many of our clients came to us specifically to remedy problems arising from subpar websites. This is why we take great care when building what is truly the backbone of your business and any successful marketing campaign. Web design starts at $10,000 with many projects ranging between $15,000 and $25,000. To learn how your web design project will be calculated, see this guide.
To win new business, your website must be “findable” by prospects. In other words, people searching the Internet for your products or services should be able to easily find your business.
This is why a robust search engine optimization infrastructure is so critical to a website. Comrade’s experts design your site according to SEO best practices, ensuring your business is featured prominently across all meaningful search engines.
Your website is only as useful as its ability to convert visitors into opportunities (leads) and/or sales (e-commerce).
We begin simply: by learning your specific business objectives.
Our marketing strategists then design conversion tools and optimized sales funnels for implementation on your new website. These tools enable measurable results that businesses can reliably track.
Before your new website “goes live,” Comrade will train your internal team to use this powerful tool effectively.
We also offer continuous support. We are here to address your questions, requests, or deploy additional marketing campaigns to support your business growth trajectory.

This varies based on industry and your target audience. As a rule of thumb, Comrade Digital Marketing recommends a website re-design or "facelift" every two years. If your website was well built from the beginning, you won't have much to worry about except minor adjustments to ensure your brand, team, services, or products and relevant information is accurately reflected. It's also always a good idea to run period performance checks to make sure your load speed is up to par and that your site, overall, is working smoothly
Some companies — especially ones that are just starting out — find the lower-investment associated with a website template appealing. Templates, however, are very limiting and businesses seeking to scale, or looking for changes down the line, might find themselves stuck. Custom websites perform better because they're crafted specifically around your business objectives. Better marketing results ensue with a website built around your goals and needs.
Comrade spends ample time with you and your stakeholders to identify the best platform for your website, Our recommendation will reflect your project's unique needs. All platforms with which Comrade works are widely adopted by web design firms around the world, meaning they are constantly updated and maintained by their original developers.
Yes, a freelancer will charge less money than a full-service agency, but often, an independent contractor's capabilities are limited and the final product will suffer as a result. Worst, the website may very well end up costing you more in the long-run. Our expert team comprises website designers, coders, project managers, testers, copywriters and marketers because that's what high-performance projects require. A professional website design firm will have the talent, experience and manpower needed to design a modern website according to industry best practices. A professional firm will customize your website's functionality and build it for SEO and to perform highly specialized tasks. All of these components are required for your website to deliver increased and traffic and in turn, meaningful financial benefits.
First on your "to-do list" is to clearly define your project objectives. This means mapping out your primary business goals. It's also important to how your web designer's process works. Have the agency walk you through that process, step by step. Lastly, work together with your web design team on identifying the resources they need from you to start your project (i.e., high-resolution images, logos, written copy, etc.).
We always recommend regularly assessing your site performance and making important adjustments as needed. As technology improves, so, too, must your website performance. So whether it's through tweaking SEO, enhancing your UX, or adding new, third-party integrations, be sure you are working with a team that will take care of your site not just in the near, but also in the long-term.
