Common Sense Web Design and Digital Marketing in Columbus, Ohio

Uplancer is your common sense web design and digital marketing agency that’s locally owned and operated.

Our Approach to
Web Design and Digital Marketing

At the core of our approach are two guiding principles: common sense and our crawl, walk, and run (CWR) methodology. CWR is a phased framework we apply across all our services, including web design and development, and digital marketing. It enables us to invest the right amount of strategy, time, and resources to build and sustain momentum. While we can engage at any point along the digital continuum, we strongly believe in “testing our way up”—achieving real results first, then building on that foundation to drive even greater outcomes

Web Design and Digital Marketing Always Starts with the Crawl Phase

Every service we offer contains a Crawl phase – think of it as getting your feet wet with purpose. Whether we’re targeting customers in Columbus, Ohio, Chicago, Illinois, or New York, New York, we need to know if it’s economically viable before going all-in. Our Crawl phase is rooted in data, strategy, and smart execution, helping us lead with our strongest foot forward. From the very first action, we track performance closely and fine-tune as needed to stay aligned with your goals and maximize results.

Z

Transitioning into the Walk Phase

By the end of the Crawl phase, we’ll have the insights needed to confidently step into the Walk phase—where we dial up the intensity. At this stage, we double down on what’s working, eliminate what’s not, and provide complete transparency every step of the way. Our goal is to align our efforts directly with your return on investment, taking a focused, strategic approach to what we call “Return on Marketing Spend”.

While most digital marketing agencies stop at metrics like clicks or impressions and call it a win, Uplancer goes further. We measure success by how our strategy and execution impact your bottom-line profit. It’s a level of accountability many agencies avoid, but we embrace it. That’s the difference when you partner with Uplancer.

Run Phase: The Sky's the Limit for Web Design and Digital Marketing

The Run phase is where strategy meets momentum. By this stage, we’ve crafted a proven, results-driven approach tailored to your needs, and now, it’s time to scale with precision. With bottom-line success already demonstrated, we partner with our clients to accelerate growth and unlock new opportunities through high-impact web design and digital marketing.

Web Design and Web Development that Wows Columbus

Web design and development are mission-critical services every startup or established business in Columbus must get right. Your website is the digital face of your brand—the first impression for potential customers and a key touchpoint for existing ones. That’s why it’s essential to design and develop your site with intention, strategy, and performance in mind. At Uplancer, we deliver high-impact web design and development solutions tailored for success. Here’s how we help Columbus businesses stand out online:

Web Design

You can’t win customers unless you can wow them. Visually, your website has to be captivating and support the story that your brand is telling. That’s why every website that we build is highly custom and does not use a theme of any kind. We listen well and will do everything we can to get your designs right the first time. Your brand, and business, deserves a bespoke and custom design approach. It’s what we do.

Web Development

We are tech-agnostic, so you’re never boxed in. Whether you’re in Columbus, Ohio or beyond, we tailor solutions to fit your specific needs, from custom code to popular content management systems like WebFlow, WordPress, and Wix. We also specialize in e-commerce platforms such as Shopify and BigCommerce. In other words, we can enhance, rebuild, or manage an existing website.

Website Analytics

Analytics is a core competency of ours and that every business must get right. Without it, local companies that we’ve worked with throughout Ohio are unaware of what’s working and not working on their website. They end up killing things that were working and building things that won’t, wasting resources in the process. This is important for our Crawl, Walk, Run approach.

CRM Integration

As your business and customer base grow, so too will your need for a more automated way of managing your customer relations. Customer relationship management software is a digital marketing tool that provides easy-to-use workflows for engaging customers. You have complete control and can send different messaging based on customer classifications. We’ve integrated major CRMS, such as Salesforce, Zoho, and HubSpot, among many others, and can help integrate yours too.

Search Engine Optimization

Not strictly a digital marketing device, SEO is crucial for the success of any website. We base all our decision points on data and strategic planning. We can’t win every keyword, but we know we can build a strong collection of other keywords that make a company competitive.

Running into indexing issues? We can help through an SEO audit! Contact us for details!

Copywriting

Not every company has the resources to provide copywriting during web design and development, and digital marketing. We get that and have our own on-staff copywriting team centered around Columbus, Ohio to tackle content, big and small. Our aim is to be strategic and targeted with content, carving out a niche for your own business. Get your content done the right way with Uplancer.

Web Design Maintenance

Once a site is launched, the next phase of its life and any web design project is to maintain it. Your tech needs to be updated and patched periodically to function properly. Our team is tech-savvy and can support and maintain your live website. You deserve that peace of mind!

Website Hosting

Whether you’re in Columbus, Ohio or New York, New York, you don’t just leave your website hosting provider unattended. There are backups, security protocols, and updates that need managed, and may impact your website’s usability. Let Uplancer manage your website hosting today.

Web Design Audit

If you haven’t touched your website in a long time, this is for you. We’ll go through your hosting setup, security, CMS, and anything related to your website. At the end of the audit, you may find that everything is working perfectly fine. If not, we’ll provide you with a status report with some action items that you can take on or we can carry them out for an additional fee.

Managed Web Design

This is our most comprehensive service where we will literally do everything web design for you. We’ll design, host, develop, launch, patch, and maintain it. You’ll have peace of mind, knowing that your website is taken well care of and any issues arising will be addressed immediately.

Columbus, Ohio
Is Our Home

Before Uplancer Agency was known for web design and digital marketing, we were certain about one thing: making Columbus our headquarters. You’ll find that our founding partners have direct ties with this thriving city. Huy Nguyen is a true Ohioan, attending only Ohio schools since Kindergarten and received his undergraduate and graduate MBA degree from The Ohio State University. During his time at grad school, he met Uplancer Agency’s second founder, Abhishek Chakrabarti.

Together with Dave Schramm, who’s a resident and a fan of the team up north (boo), they formed Uplancer Agency, a digital marketing agency that empowers businesses to tackle custom web design & development and digital marketing projects from Columbus, Ohio.

Common Sense
Starts with Columbus

Columbus is ingrained in our DNA and has shaped Uplancer Agency. From our main offices off 1560 Fishinger Road, we’ve connected with local businesses and local chambers to uncover the complex problems that exist and need solving within our city. Little did they know that Uplancer was perfect for the job!

As a web design and digital marketing agency, we always take the common sense approach to problem-solving. That means we avoid the complicated and focus on delivering the simplest, most effective solution. We know simplest and most effective don’t always go hand-in-hand when describing a solution. However, they definitely do with our digital common sense approach.

Businesses and talent are relocating to Columbus – more B2B and B2C opportunities.

The Heart of
Uplancer Agency

We love Columbus and is why we’re headquartered here. Yet, we wouldn’t be where we are today without some of their resources. You’ll find us at the different events happening across the city, sharing our learnings through our Columbus blog. Check out some of the memberships that we’re a part of below:

Columbus Chamber of Commerce

As members of the Columbus chamber, we’ve participated as speakers at a supply chain conference and as active members. There’s a strong backing from Columbus, Ohio that has helped us navigate the complexities throughout the Columbus Region as a small business.

Tri-Village Chamber Partnership

As part of an even more local chapter, we support this chamber. It’s a chamber that combines these three parts of Columbus: Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights, and Marble Cliff. The Tri-Village Chamber Partnership is very local to Columbus, Ohio and has provided Uplancer Agency local support.

OMSDC / NMSDC

We are proud and certified as a minority business enterprise (MBE) in Ohio. Being an MBE that qualified for an NMSDC Lowe’s grant, we have overcome some of the unique challenges only faced by an MBE with their support.

Small Business

Uplancer qualifies as a small business, so when work with us, you’ll literally work with us! Our partners get down and dirty with every web design and digital marketing project. That’s probably why our clients in Columbus and elsewhere love working with us.
