Chicago Web Design & Digital Marketing

The Windy City. Chicago is renowned for its culture (and pizza) and is home to more than 100,000 businesses, large and small. The diverse landscape of industries means there’s room for growth and success, but also that there’s immense competition. Make sure your Chicago business drives traffic with a superior website that you can be proud of.

In Chicago, attention is not exactly easy to come by. People are comparing options, reading reviews and searching before they ever reach out. Your website should help you cut through the noise without trying too hard. We help businesses show up in the right places online, build trust and turn more of that interest into real leads.

We came to 8bitstudio looking for a website and instead found a true partner. Their team is far more than just a web development company, their design and technical expertise consistently exceed expectations. Communication and responsiveness have been exceptional, making the entire process collaborative and stress-free. The result is a website that is completely unique to our brand, unlike anything else out there. We’re thrilled with what 8bitstudio has created, and even more excited about the possibilities of where they’ll take our site in the future.

8bitstudio was, and still is, a joy to work with. We partnered with their team on our 2020 Impact Report microsite and it turned out way beyond our expectations. Truly a spectacular website, and our teams worked so in sync on the entire project from start to finish. Very collaborative, taking in feedback and making adjustments quickly to keep our project on track and on time. We hope to work with them again soon!

We recently had 8bitstudio create our new business website. The final product is excellent! From start to finish they really made this process simple. They initially mapped out an easy to follow plan of how they were going to build our site and what they needed from us. We met virtually to work through the plan, and we ultimately met our goal and timeline to get our site launched. Our customers seem to love our new site as much as we do. Nice work 8bit and team.

I love this group of people. I have worked with 8bitstudio in the past and knew right away that I wanted to work with them again when our dental office decided it was time for a new website. They truly care about your wants and needs and go above and beyond to make sure you get them. Matthew and Erika are AMAZING! They have the gift of guiding you through the process of a new website without making you feel overwhelmed. I had the opportunity to work with other team members as well and always felt like I was their #1 priority. Making a decision to work with 8bitstudio will be one of the best decisions you’ll make!
