Hiring a top website design agency – Our Process

Our Web Design Agency is a Partner NOT a Vendor

What is the difference and why should you care?

A web design and development agency vendor will complete any tasks as they are sent to them, but views your website tasks as a mere to-do list, rarely offering constructive feedback unless prompted.

A partner web design agency has your back in all things concerning your website.

We see your website as our personal responsibility to help it succeed and care deeply about your messaging and the user experience offered to your customers. We view your website from a dual perspective, as both a business owner and as a customer.

We will consider important factors like…

  • How will the visitors on your website receive your messaging?
  • Are visitors receiving an excellent experience?
  • Will they easily find what they are looking for?
  • Tasks that are sent to our web design team are not simply implemented but also thought through to make sure you are presented with the best solutions available.

Our website design team at Hooked On Code is trained to look for ways to improve your customer’s experience and ensure you, as a business owner, are aware of all issues that arise as well as any areas in which we can improve your messaging so that you are clearly communicating with everyone who visits your website.

This begs the question: Why hire another vendor when you can have a partner who functions as an extension of your team?

We Promise...

  • we will be responsive and easy to work with and get ahold of.
  • the process will be delightful.
  • we will leave you with a website that is easy to edit and change as you wish.

Our Guarantee

We have a 100% happiness guaranteed return policy. If you don’t love your website design when we’re done, you can request to return it.

Any other concerns?

Ready To LOVE Your Illinois Web Design Agency?

If you’ve made it this far you likely have a job to do, want quality help, and have a sense of humor. We’re a match made in heaven! Fill out our inquiry form and we’ll get back to you lickity-split.

Your company’s website has never been in better (or softer) hands.

Elements Heard, Not Seen

Voice interfaces like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and others are products we understand as users, but can feel impenetrable when we’re asked to design for them. When the only context our users have in front of them is a smart speaker without a screen, where do we even begin? In a world where navigation becomes negotiation—where scrolling becomes speaking—voice interaction design demands that we treat our canvas as time, not space. Preston will show how to connect the dots between familiar elements we’ve long known and alien affordances we’re just beginning to understand.

Accessibility and Progressive Enhancement: A Framework for a More inclusive Web

What do progressive enhancement and accessibility have in common? They both put the user first. When combined, they create a more inclusive foundation and are a powerful framework that can change the way you approach designing and building for the Web. While Progressive Enhancement advocates for separating HTML, CSS, and JavaScript layers, it can also be used to connect these layers in a way that ensures a more accessible and inclusive end result.

In this talk, Sara will share how she strategically combines accessibility and progressive enhancement to create more inclusive products. From writing HTML enhanced with ARIA to using CSS to enforce accessibility requirements, and making sure JavaScript behavior meets user expectations, she will share design considerations and code techniques for creating more robust and resilient accessible digital experiences.

The Craft of Feedback

Poor or unstructured feedback can be destructive not only to our work, but also to the long-term morale of the team. Sometimes even when the content of feedback is good, the delivery can be so rough that it makes it hard to work with. But if we apply the right principles, feedback can be a force for change that allows projects to succeed, and even pushes you and your teammates to grow. Erin will dive deeply into the foundation of feedback from a cognitive perspective, synthesizing lessons and principles you can apply in your day-to-day work. Whether you’re a designer or a developer, a team lead or an IC, you’ll come away with powerfully transformative ideas for giving and getting feedback.
