The hallmarks of a great website are clearly organized content, great design, compelling messaging, and superb technical capability on both frontend and backend. Our award-winning Chicago web design and development agency takes an integrated approach to website design and development to produce a highly attractive and user-friendly experience — with the business goals of the site paramount.
Intuitive content organization. Professional design. Sky’s-the-limit technology.
Uplinker began creating responsive websites early on in 2012 even before Google’s announcement that year that mobile friendly sites would become an important factor in rankings. Your website will be designed for viewing on phone, tablet, and desktop/laptop with appropriate page design and navigation.
Marketing, content, design and tech experts all play a part in ensuring an enjoyable, intuitive experience for site visitors. Our process includes creation of site visitor personas to understand why and how key audiences come to the site, site map, and wireframes.
Great design creates an experience that feels, looks, reads, and functions well. It expresses your brand in an enjoyable site experience. And with every page designed to reflect the prioritization and natural flow of content. Whether a brand launch or update to an existing site, we will explore the best execution of your brand look and feel.
Copy and design work together. Sometimes copy leads. Sometimes visuals say it all. On a site relaunch, leave it to us to work with your existing and new content—and repurpose it for an amazing user experience! Headlines that let visitors skim to get the big picture. Body copy that explains the details they want to learn more about. All in the voice of your brand.
Optimizing your site to be found involves both technical backend and copy—and design frontend work. We address both to optimize your site’s online search visibility related to what your audience is searching for and the products/services you offer.
We choose the technical platform that best fits the needs of your site and preferences. For informational websites, WordPress is generally the way to go in particular if you plan to have frequent content updates. Uplinker is a top ranked WordPress designer and can help you choose the best option for your needs from design/developing a totally custom theme to customization using pre-made themes. We also work with both WPBakery and Elementor page builders. And unlike WIX, SquareSpace and other 3rd party hosted platforms, you are not tied to where it’s hosted or limited in what you can do.

“We love our logo’s new look and the image it conveys. And our website has been streamlined with improved navigation … We are truly happy!”
When we first started working with Verve, they asked about and focused on our organization’s goals. In the end, that initial conversation and the subsequent design of our website helped us reach heights we hadn’t even dreamed of. Our membership has doubled, our community has almost tripled, our blog posts are easier to design and share and we are used as a resource more than ever before.
Since launching the new website, we have seen higher page views and user retention. More users are coming to the site and staying on it longer. The pages are able to be customized as we need them to be.
