UI UX Design · Chicago

UI UX Design Company in Chicago, built to ship.

Design that gets thrown over the wall to developers always loses something. So we do both. Our team designs clean, conversion-focused product and website interfaces and then builds them, which keeps what shipped honest to what was designed. Chicago runs on US Central Time, about 10.5 hours behind India, so we work async-first with a fixed daily overlap in your morning. You wake up to visible progress and meet us live before noon.

Rated 4.9 stars across 24+ client projectsYou own 100% of the code and IP. NDA on request.

Chicago market

Alongside the startups sits a deep bench of logistics, healthtech and food companies that need software built to industrial standards. Geminate Solutions partners with both: MVPs for funded founders and dependable platforms for operators.

Compliance in United States

How does UI UX Design Company stay compliant with CCPA / CPRA in Chicago?

Chicago companies build under a sector and state patchwork led by California's CCPA and CPRA, overseen by the California Privacy Protection Agency, alongside state AGs and the FTC. We design every ui ux design engagement to respect those rules from day one, not as a checklist bolted on at the end. There is no single federal privacy law, so we map your build to the states you operate in, plus HIPAA for health data or PCI DSS for payments where they apply.

Who regulates you

the California Privacy Protection Agency, alongside state AGs and the FTC. regulated US products often need HIPAA, SOC 2, or PCI DSS controls, which we scope into the architecture rather than retrofit.

Where your data lives

You pick the hosting region. When residency rules or a United States contract require it, we deploy inside your jurisdiction and you hold the cloud accounts.

What you own

100% of the source code and IP, transferred under contract, with an NDA and a data processing agreement signed before anything is shared.

Proof we can do this at scale: the products we have shipped run at 250K+ daily active users and have handled 10M+ requests per minute, across 50+ products rated 4.9 stars over 24+ client projects. Security and data handling are part of how we build, not an afterthought.

FAQ

UI UX Design Company in Chicago, answered

We are a funded startup. Can you take us from MVP to a scalable product?

Yes, that arc is our specialty. We ship a real MVP in weeks, then keep building as you find product-market fit: hardening the architecture, adding the integrations, and scaling the backend as usage grows. You get a team that flexes with your funding stages instead of a fixed-scope shop you outgrow.

How do you handle the time difference from Chicago?

Async-first with a live meeting window in your morning. Standups, demos and decisions happen live, and the build itself runs overnight your time. Most clients find the rhythm faster than local teams because every calendar day contains a full production cycle.

How do you handle CCPA / CPRA and data protection for Chicago clients?

Chicago businesses fall under a sector and state patchwork led by California's CCPA and CPRA, overseen by the California Privacy Protection Agency, alongside state AGs and the FTC. There is no single federal privacy law, so we map your build to the states you operate in, plus HIPAA for health data or PCI DSS for payments where they apply. Before any data is shared we sign an NDA and a data processing agreement, and regulated US products often need HIPAA, SOC 2, or PCI DSS controls, which we scope into the architecture rather than retrofit.

Where will our data and code be hosted if we build with you from Chicago?

You choose the region. We default to a cloud setup that satisfies CCPA / CPRA obligations, and when residency rules or a United States contract require it, we host inside your jurisdiction. You keep full ownership of the source code, the data, and the infrastructure accounts at all times.

How much does UI UX Design Company cost in Chicago?

Every ui ux design project is scoped on a free call rather than sold as a fixed package, and most engagements start with a paid pilot sprint so you see the work before you commit. You get a clear number in USD before anything starts.

Do we own the code?

Yes, completely. The code, the project, and the content are handed to you. You hold the keys, not us. We sign an NDA before you share anything.

How long does it take?

Most builds go live in two to four weeks. Larger products with a custom backend or migration take longer, and you get a firm timeline before any work begins.
