— Local rules
What a website in Chicago needs to get right.
- 01
Illinois BIPA
If your site or app collects biometric data (face or fingerprint scans), Illinois’s Biometric Information Privacy Act requires notice and written consent.
- 02
ADA Title III
Courts have applied the ADA to business websites, and WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA is the usual benchmark. Accessibility is cheaper to build in than to retrofit.
- 03
State privacy laws
California’s CCPA/CPRA and privacy laws in states such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and Texas set notice and opt-out rules. Which apply depends on your size and data.
- 04
Email marketing (CAN-SPAM)
Commercial emails need a real sender, a postal address and a working unsubscribe.
- 05
Sales tax
Since the 2018 Wayfair decision, online sellers can owe sales tax in states where they pass economic-nexus thresholds.

Web design in Chicago — FAQ
Straight answers.
Q1Do you build websites for businesses in Chicago?
Yes. We design and build websites for Chicago businesses remotely, by video call, email, WhatsApp and a client portal. About 0.5 hours of a normal Chicago working day overlap with the lab’s hours, and work carries on after you log off.
Q2Can you work with a US company from India?
Yes. Calls happen in your morning (or the lab’s late evening), everything else runs asynchronously, and you get updates by email, Slack or WhatsApp while you sleep.
Q3How do payments work for US clients?
Prices are in euro. Card payments via Stripe or PayPal convert automatically, and you get proper invoices in your client portal.
Q4Is the site ADA compliant?
We build to WCAG 2.2 AA and test with keyboard and screen readers. No website can be guaranteed lawsuit-proof, but accessibility built in is your best protection.
Q5How much does a website cost?
Most small-business sites come in under €350. Larger builds are quoted at a fixed price after a short brief.
