WordPress Website Design For Chicago Businesses
Need a WordPress website? We design and develop websites for Chicago businesses that look great, load fast, and are easy to update. No templates, no hassle. Just a site that works and brings in leads. Projects start from $1499.
Key Features of Our WordPress Websites
WordPress is powerful, but only if it’s done right. We design and develop WordPress websites that are lightweight, scalable, and built with your business goals in mind.
Easy to Update Without a Developer
Need to fix a price, swap a photo, or update a service? You can do it yourself in minutes — even if you're not “techy.” No waiting, no chasing developers.
Built from Scratch
Tired of clunky, slow themes that look nothing like the demo? We design your WordPress site from the ground up — so it's fast, matches your brand, and doesn’t fall apart when you make changes.
Show Up When People Search
Your site should help you get found, not just look nice. We build your site with the right structure so Google understands it, and customers can actually find you online.
No Plugin Overload
Most WordPress sites break because they rely on 20+ plugins. We keep it lean, fewer moving parts means faster load times and fewer “what just happened?” moments.
Protected from Day One
We set up solid WordPress security and automated backups right from the start. That means fewer surprises, no sudden crashes, and peace of mind knowing your site is safe.
Built to Grow with Your Business
Your website starts with what you need today but is ready for what comes next. Whether you're adding new services, expanding pages, or launching new features, your site can keep up.
Why Most WordPress Sites Don’t Work
What’s Not Working
You tried doing it yourself or hired someone who left you with a site that looks okay, but makes everything harder. It loads slowly, breaks when you try to change something, and you’re never sure what’s safe to click. Instead of helping your business grow, your website just sits there and causes stress.
What We Deliver
You get a site that’s easy to use, even if you’re not tech-savvy. Want to change a price or add a new service? You can do it on your own. Your site looks professional, works on every device, and makes it easy for people to contact you or buy from you. No headaches. Just a website that finally does its job.
Looking for a Chicago agency that design WP websites from scratch — not from a template? Let’s talk.
Invest once. Build it right.
You can always find cheaper. But cheaper won’t rank, convert, or scale with you.

WordPress Website Design FAQ
WordPress websites at Lizardo Agency start at $1499. We build professional websites for Chicago businesses that are easy to use, fast to load, and designed to help you get real results — not just sit there. Want to get started? Email us at hello@lizardoagency.com
How much does a WordPress website cost?
Our WordPress design and development packages start at $1499. The final price depends on how many pages you need, whether you want help with copywriting, and if there are any special features like booking, eCommerce, or integrations. We always give you a clear scope, no surprises — just a site that works for your business.
Will I be able to edit my website myself?
That’s one reason why many clients call us the best WordPress developer for small business in Chicago — we empower you to control your own website without technical stress.
Is WordPress good for SEO?
Yes — especially when it’s done right. Our team specializes in affordable WP website design for Chicago businesses, making sure your site is not only optimized for search engines, but also structured to rank for your local market.
Do you use Elementor or other drag-and-drop builders?
Yes — but we use Elementor the right way. Many sites built with drag-and-drop tools are slow because they rely on bloated themes, stacked widgets, and poor structure. We keep things lean: clean layout, minimal plugins, fast load time, and full editing control. So you get the flexibility of Elementor without the usual mess.
Can I use this service if I’m planning to sell products later?
Absolutely. If you’re thinking about selling online soon, you can always expand with our eCommerce Websites. Need ongoing help with updates and fixes? See our Website Maintenance service. And if you’re in a niche market, check our Industry-Specific Design.
Is it better to use a custom WordPress website or a theme?
Most pre-made themes are bloated, hard to customize, and not built for your business goals. At Lizardo Agency, a custom WordPress design agency in Chicago, we build every website from scratch — optimized for performance, SEO, and user experience.
How long does it take to build a WordPress website?
Most projects take between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the number of pages and how quickly we get your feedback. We move fast, but we don’t rush the important parts — like making sure the site is easy to use, looks right on mobile, and guides your visitors toward taking action.
Do you build WordPress sites for Chicago businesses?
Yes — we build custom WordPress websites for small and mid-sized businesses in Chicago. Each site includes mobile optimization, basic SEO setup, and an easy-to-use editor so you can manage content without a developer. It’s a scalable solution for growing your online presence locally.
