Windy City Web Solutions

Windy City Web Solutions is a Chicago web design and development agency founded in 2016 by Daniel D. Cooper. It builds custom WordPress websites for small and medium-sized organizations, including schools, nonprofits, professional services firms and healthcare providers, and bundles secure cloud hosting, ongoing maintenance and lead generation tools with each build.

Clients work directly with the developer rather than through a project manager, and the firm stays involved after launch with updates, security monitoring and performance improvements. Its stated values are quality, trust and affordability: quality means speed, accessibility and SEO, while trust means transparent dealings and clients keeping full ownership of their websites. According to its website, most builds finish within eight weeks, and smaller sites often finish in under six.

• Web design and development: custom WordPress design, mobile-responsive layouts, accessibility practices and Core Web Vitals performance work
• Website maintenance: cloud hosting, software updates, scheduled backups, security monitoring and spam protection
• SEO: keyword research, full-site optimization, Google Business Profile setup, ranking reports and content creation
• Growth Plan: an optional add-on with conversion tools, custom analytics and a traffic and rankings dashboard
• E-commerce: available as a project feature that affects scope and price
