Looking for an experienced Chicago Web Design Agency? You’ve come to the right place. Digital Authority Partners has the experienced, award-winning team of web designers who can design or redesign your website in the Windy City.
Befitting the name “design,” web design is partially about visual appeal. The customer experience starts with the eyes. Websites can become out-of-date in subtle ways, undermining the brand experience in ways that visitors can’t quite put their finger on.
By contrast, an updated website that focuses on the customer experience creates a seamless experience. Rather than standing in the way, it enhances the customer experience, guiding them smoothly through a carefully-calibrated customer journey. Our Chicago web design services aren’t just about a website looking good, though … it’s also about making the website easy to find. Search engine optimization (SEO) starts with web design. An up-to-date, well-designed, mobile-responsive website will get more traffic and convert that traffic at maximal rates.
Healthcare websites in Chicago have more heavy lifting to do than ever before. From clinics to regional hospitals to medtech companies, healthcare has been forced by necessity—and by innovation—to adopt a more consumer-oriented approach, favoring transparency, accessibility, and value-based pricing systems, as opposed to the antiquated fee-for-service model.
Patients expect an immersive digital experience from their doctors—especially for specialists and private care providers—just as they would expect from their favorite restaurants, blogs, or e-commerce stores. They now expect to be able to book appointments, log into a back office to view their appointment details, pair health apps and wearable devices, transmit data to their doctors through IoMT devices, and much more.
DAP’s Chicago web design services help healthcare providers and medtech companies update their digital experiences to the standards patients expect—standards that will set them a cut above competitors they never had to worry about in the past. Our web design services for the healthcare industry help clients with:
Despite the growing pains, the digital revolution in healthcare has changed the industry for the better. DAP Chicago web design services help healthcare organizations not only compete, but reap the rewards of a lucrative new delivery model.

The internet has forever changed education—making knowledge more accessible and affordable than ever before. But while the wide dispersal of knowledge is undoubtedly good for humanity, this also presents new challenges for institutes of higher education. With all of human knowledge online and a crisis of credibility and “fake news” in full swing, the world needs the pedigree of respected and accredited colleges, universities, and academies more than ever.

No Chicago web design agency succeeds by winging it. Journeys require roadmaps, and the concept phase of your web design project is the process of building that roadmap. At no point in your web build will there ever be confusion about what’s next, what we’re trying to accomplish, what we’re building toward in crafting the perfect digital experience for your brand.
We start by getting feedback from stakeholders and customers, identifying objectives, analyzing competitors, and building a “wish list” of website functions. We then assemble a plan for a digital experience that checks all the boxes in a logical sequence, forming an outline of the perfect user experience and customer journey.
The design phase is when DAP’s flair for visual artistry bears dividends. Our expert Chicago web design team begins to assemble a working model of what your site will look like, seamlessly incorporating logos, split-tested color palettes, high-definition image and video assets, and a sense of balance and aesthetics. Our goal is to envision a website that is not just functional, but unique and beautiful.
“Wow factor” is another key component to providing an outstanding user experience. We plan our sites to include reveals, animations, and micro-interactions that make the site feel like a living thing, an active and immersive experience. We integrate this “wow factor” with an eye toward maintaining site performance and SEO.
When your Chicago web design service enters into the development phase, our coding and WordPress teams take the roadmap created in the design phase and put it into action. We have defined the functions each page and subpage is meant to serve … now it’s time to craft a digital experience that actually implements those functions.
Our developers follow the approved designs, with fine attention to detail. The finished site must be mobile-responsive, fast-loading, and optimized for SEO with proper header nesting, meta tagging, and alt text. We also develop sites with an eye toward ADA compliance and scalability—your website must be accessible, and able to be expanded upon.
Once the development phase has ushered the site through prototyping, split-testing, and user testing, it’s time to launch! We debut your new digital experience with all the fanfare it deserves—a website that both looks beautiful and pulls its weight, a website your brand can be proud of.
Our Chicago web design services don’t stop there, however. Websites require constant updating and maintenance to remain relevant. Our designers and developers stay on the job to tweak the site aesthetically, iron out bugs, respond to user feedback, and deploy an ongoing content strategy.
Now that your beautiful and functional new website is up and running, the next step is to actually put it to work. Your website isn’t just for looks—it’s the focal point for a digital marketing strategy where all roads lead back to your digital experience, calibrated to the customer and optimized to convert.
Before your website can do this important job for your brand, your target audience must find the website. Our Chicago web design service includes careful attention to on-page and technical SEO. The next step is a backlinking and content marketing campaign to build your domain’s authority and improve its organic search rankings. This strategy can be paired with a digital marketing strategy through the use of paid ads and other top-of-funnel tactics to bring traffic to your exquisite new website.
