What CyberOptik does

CyberOptik is a privately-held, Chicago-based digital agency founded in 2002 that specializes exclusively in WordPress website design, development, ecommerce, and digital marketing services. Its core product surface spans custom WordPress builds, redesigns, migrations from competing CMS platforms, and WooCommerce-powered ecommerce stores with payment and shipping integrations (Stripe, PayPal, USPS, UPS, FedEx), supplemented by ongoing managed hosting, support, maintenance, security/cleanup, accessibility/WCAG compliance, and SEO/PPC services. Underlying technology centers on the WordPress CMS with custom PHP/MySQL development, proprietary managed hosting infrastructure, and a structured "Optik Method" delivery process that includes a 45-point QA checkpoint.

The business operates on a hybrid revenue model combining one-time project fees (starting at $3,000 for standard sites and $10,000 for ecommerce builds) with recurring subscription revenue from hosting (~$70/month), support, maintenance plans, and partner referral income from Termageddon privacy-policy services ($119/year). Distribution is sales-led and direct: free website/SEO reviews, content marketing across 30+ industry-specific landing pages, PPC, and a formal referral program generate inbound leads from a customer base of small to mid-size businesses plus select mid-market and enterprise accounts spanning manufacturing, legal, healthcare, logistics, libraries, nonprofits, real estate, and other verticals. The agency reports 750+ websites launched and 600+ actively hosted, supported by a 30+ person team, with strong third-party review credentials (4.9 on Clutch, 4.5 on Google).
