Accelerating Entrepreneurs
Overview
Unicorn Road is on a mission to accelerate entrepreneurs and early-stage startups. Based in Chicago, we specialize in designing and developing custom and low-code websites, MVP web apps, and MVP mobile apps for teams who enjoy the sight of the competition in their rearview mirror.
We believe in dreams — sometimes even more than the people who are closest to the dreamer. But we don’t love that word because it doesn’t describe the ambitious, hard-working, innovative human beings we work with each and every day. We use the word entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs organize, manage, and assume risk. Entrepreneurs have the audacity to challenge conventions, disrupt industries, and pave the way to the new.
We at Unicorn Road think the best way to change the world is to ensure no genius goes undiscovered, and no idea is left to be dismissed as just a dream. We understand what’s at stake and we act with the determination that great ideas demand and the urgency needed to maintain momentum.
We aren’t offering a map, best practices, or hearsay from the side of the trail. We’re offering our expertise and experience at navigating the road where entrepreneurs build, test, and continuously improve their ideas.
Godspeed.
I will go where there is not a path. I will leave a trail.–Emerson

What reviewers mention most
“John at Unicorn Road did a great job getting our website up and running”
Not only did they help with the initial launch, but did a great job supporting us after the fact with the 100 little detailed need to make a successful website.
“Great experience with the Unicorn Road Team for website development and building”
I came to Unicorn Road with a very tight timeframe project to develop a webflow based website for a dedicated project. We were working with a designer for brand and design and the two firms connected and worked well together. I was very impressed by the speed with which they built the site and their knowledge of how to make sure the site worked well on mobile as well as desktop. We also ended up working with them for Web hosting as we did not yet have a Webflow account. Their communication was great - making themselves available over the end of year, holiday period. Super happy and would definitely recommend.
“Recent New Website”
Overall, I'm very happy with our recent new website! John and Rebecca were very helpful in getting it launched the project moved through and going, especially since we are still a very young company with a small team. I really think they captured what I wanted by making our old site more professional. I'm enjoying the new look and have been receiving great feedback on what we developed so far. I do have some layout changes that I need to work through. Wishing there would be more of a final product review (2-3 meetings) after the website went live to go over any layout changes or problems that the site was running into. Overall, very happy though!
