In a city built on commerce — from the trading floors of the Loop to the manufacturing corridors of the South Side — your website is often the first interaction a prospect has with your business. It needs to load fast, communicate clearly, and convert visitors into leads or customers.
Markit Media builds websites for businesses across the Chicago metro on WordPress, Shopify, and Next.js. Every project is engineered for performance, designed for conversion, and built to scale with your business.
Whether you need a corporate B2B site that positions your company as an industry leader, an e-commerce storefront that handles thousands of SKUs, or a custom web application — we build on the platform that fits your requirements.
Custom themes, headless configurations, and plugin development for businesses that need a flexible, content-driven website. We build WordPress sites that load fast and are straightforward to maintain.
Storefront design, custom theme development, and app integrations for Shopify and Shopify Plus. Built for product catalogues of any size with a focus on checkout optimisation and mobile performance.
Server-rendered React applications for businesses that need speed, flexibility, and complex functionality. Ideal for B2B platforms, SaaS marketing sites, and high-traffic content hubs.
Wireframes, prototypes, and visual design rooted in user research and conversion data. Every design decision is tied to a business objective — not just aesthetic preference.
Core Web Vitals audits, image optimisation, code splitting, and caching strategies. Fast-loading pages reduce bounce rates, improve search rankings, and increase conversion rates.
Security updates, plugin management, uptime monitoring, and technical support. We keep your site running smoothly so your team can focus on the business.
Chicago companies need web partners who understand that a website is infrastructure — not decoration. Here's what sets our approach apart.
Chicago's corporate landscape demands websites that project credibility and professionalism. We build to that standard — clean code, accessible markup, fast load times — without the bloated timelines and overhead that come with large enterprise agencies.
A website is a business tool, not a portfolio piece. Every page we build is designed to support a specific goal: lead capture for B2B companies, product sales for e-commerce, or content distribution for thought leadership. Structure, copy, and design all serve that purpose.
WordPress for content-heavy sites, Shopify for e-commerce, Next.js for high-performance custom applications. We recommend the platform that fits your business needs and technical requirements — not the one that's easiest for us.
Launch day is the starting line, not the finish. We provide ongoing maintenance, performance monitoring, and iterative improvements based on real user data. Your site gets better over time, not worse.
Clear phases, defined deliverables, and no surprises. Every project follows a structured process that keeps timelines predictable and gives you visibility at every stage.
We document your business goals, technical requirements, content structure, and integration needs. This phase produces a detailed project scope and timeline before any design or development begins.
Wireframes and visual designs are created and reviewed iteratively. You see how the site will look and function on desktop and mobile before a single line of production code is written.
Clean, well-documented code built to spec. Every page is tested across browsers, devices, and screen sizes. Performance benchmarks are verified against Core Web Vitals targets before launch.
Deployment, DNS configuration, and post-launch monitoring. Once the site is live, we track user behaviour and conversion data to identify opportunities for improvement.
We build on the platforms that best fit your business. These pages go deeper into each technology stack.
