Our Approach

We Keep It Simple

We believe that the toughest problems can be solved in the simplest ways. This belief is ingrained in our approach and blog, and why our management team is intentionally small.

Common Sense

Anyone can make something more complex. It takes real genius to simplify. We break industry expectations with our fresh and expert perspectives in problem solving. We only settle for solutions that are easy to use and simple to understand.

Obsession with Simple

We live and breathe simplicity. That’s why you’ll find us asking ourselves these two questions repeatedly when solving any problem: 1) is there a better way to do this and 2) are we driving results?

OUR DNA

We Stand Out

As your business grows, so does the complexity of what you’re doing. Everything we do keeps you in mind. Say goodbye to complicated problems and hello to our common sense solutions!

Website Design and Development

Your customers make decisions on whether they like your website and marketing collateral in micro, subconscious moments. We focus on the most pleasing design and user experience to get your customers where they need to be and take the actions you want them to complete.

App Development

The Development and QA team at Uplancer is focused on one thing: bringing your solution to life through a web or mobile app. We embrace change and we do what needs to be done. We’re not about creating code-as-artwork. We’re giving life to a beautiful design.

Quality Assurance

Bugs exist. Things break. We can accept that. Our QA Team is the most delightfully anal-retentive group of folks you’ve ever met. We get it right the first time.

Digital Marketing

Who is my customer? What competitive pressure am I facing? How am I driving demand? These are all questions our digital marketing strategy will tackle for you. We’ll make sure your brand is strongly positioned and driving all the right things.

Local IQâ„¢

Are you competing across countries? Do your users speak a variety of languages? At Uplancer, we don’t believe in machine translation. We believe in providing the best user experience. That’s why our proprietary and innovative Local IQ™ approach will localize your content, collateral, website, etc. with both language and cultural cues that your customers expect.

Cloud Services

Leverage the cloud to scale and future-proof your business. Uplancer supports migrations for all or part of your day-to-day business operations to the cloud. Like all of our services, we take a common sense approach, solving complicated problems in the cloud with solutions that are not only easy to understand, but easy to use.
