UX That Fuels Post-Launch Growth

A beautiful store is just the start. After launch, smart UX turns browsers into buyers — fast. We focus on reducing friction, improving navigation, and optimizing every click to boost conversions. From heatmaps to A/B testing, we uncover what works and refine what doesn’t. ✔️ Clear navigation & CTAs ✔️ Fast, mobile-first flow ✔️ Trust-building elements (reviews, guarantees) ✔️ Smart tweaks that boost conversion Great UX = fewer drop-offs, more repeat buyers, and higher AOV.

"Maya from The Chicago Web Co. was amazing! She was able to take our vision and make it come to life better than expected. Every detail was accounted for with Maya's eye for style and design. She also executed the need to build for both retail and wholesale customers perfectly. We couldn't be happier with our new Shopify store and would recommend Maya to everyone."

Pool Six Coffee

"We worked with Maya. Starting with the detailed scope of work to the very end, Maya's work was exceptional. We worked through Covid-19 challenges and some curves - and Maya rose to every challenge. Maya took plenty of time to understand why our current web wasn't serving our needs and what we hoped to see. She translated our conversations (and there were many) into a website we love."
