Web design
agency in Chicago.
Custom-built websites for Chicago small businesses, from a studio based right here — not outsourced, not templated.
Local, but built to compete nationally.
Local SEO, Built In
LocalBusiness schema, Chicago-targeted meta and content, and a Google Business Profile connection — so you show up for "web design near me" searches, not just your brand name.
In-Person Kickoff, If You Want It
Based in Chicago ourselves, we can meet in person to scope the project — no timezone gap, no outsourced account manager reading from a script.
Sub-1.2s Load Times
Hand-coded builds, not templates. Every Chicago client site ships with Core Web Vitals tuned for mobile — the majority of local search traffic.
Neighborhood-Level Targeting
Service-area pages and content structured around how Chicago customers actually search — by neighborhood, not just citywide.
Where we work.
Nous Frame is based in Chicago, IL, and works with small businesses across the city and Cook County — the Loop, Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, Logan Square, and beyond — as well as clients nationwide who prefer working with a US-based, hand-coding studio over an offshore team or a template platform.

FAQ

Yes. Nous Frame is based in Chicago, IL, and can meet in person for kickoff calls, brand discovery, or ongoing check-ins with local clients — in addition to the remote workflow we use for clients across the rest of the US.
How much does a website cost for a Chicago small business?
The same transparent pricing as any Nous Frame project: landing pages from $1,500, full small business websites from $2,500, and larger marketing sites with a CMS from $5,500. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.
Do you help with local SEO, not just building the site?
Yes. Every Nous Frame build includes LocalBusiness schema markup and on-page local SEO. We also offer an ongoing SEO/GEO retainer from $499/mo for businesses that want continued visibility in local and AI search results.
Which Chicago neighborhoods or areas do you serve?
We work with small businesses across Chicago and the surrounding metro — including the Loop, Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, Logan Square, and the greater Cook County area — as well as clients nationwide.
