Web Design and Web Development that Wows Columbus

Web design and development are the first services that you must get right as a startup or existing business in Columbus. It’s your digital front where current and potential customers interact with your brand. Care must be taken to design and develop your website, allowing your business every chance to succeed. Take a look at all the ways we support web design and development for our clients in Columbus:

Web Design

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

Web Development

We aren’t limited to any tech stack. Our clients in Columbus, Ohio have needs from custom code to content management systems, such as WebFlow, WordPress, and Wix. That allows us to also work with any existing website to enhance, rebuild, and manage.

Website Analytics

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

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

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. For us to win the war, we must pick our battles. We can’t win every keyword, but we know we can build a strong collection of other keywords that make a company competitive.

Copywriting

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

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

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

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

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.

Web Design and Digital Marketing for Columbus, Ohio

Columbus, Ohio 43221

Phone:
614-980-0015

Hours:
\n8:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Monday – Friday

We do everything digital marketing, web design, web development, app development, and cloud services. Each service is unique and shares one thing in common: our digital common sense approach.

Common sense tells us to take advantage of the resources that Columbus, OH has to offer. In fact, our sweet spot is to partner with small to medium-sized businesses, which we know Columbus is ripe with them. Additionally, we find that Columbus is special for other reasons:

  • The housing market is booming and has never declined in population – more people, more problems to solve.
  • It is centrally located within 10 hours of 80% of the US population – Columbus is an easy phone call away.
  • Businesses and talent are relocating to Columbus – more B2B and B2C opportunities.
  • More than 100 languages are spoken within the region – diversity in business problems.

These reasons are a recipe for success and growth, which we’ve experienced in the past years; year over year, the demand for our web design and development, and digital marketing has increased in Columbus! In fact, you’ll find industries, such as automotive, healthcare, and real estate, in need of some major updates. It’s a hotspot for business growth and is why we’re here to stay!

Our Approach to
Web Design and Digital Marketing

Rooted in our approach are two things: common sense and our crawl, walk, and run (CWR) methodology. CWR is our phased approach when executing any of our services, including web design & development, and digital marketing. It allows us to invest the right amount of strategy, time, and resources to build and prove momentum. Sure, we can start anywhere along the digital continuum. However, we firmly believe in the idea of “testing our way up,” by achieving real results first and then expanding on that to drive higher outcomes. Read more about CWR.

Web Design and Digital Marketing Always Starts with the Crawl Phase

Each service contains a crawl phase – think of getting your feet wet – that kickstarts every web design and digital marketing engagement. Regardless of whether we are targeting customers in Columbus, Ohio,  Chicago, Illinois, or New York, New York, we need to know if it’s economically viable to do so. Our crawl phase is designed with this and data in mind, and to lead with our best foot forward. After we take any action, we are continuously monitoring its result and fine-tuning to adjust.
Z

The Walk Phase Is Next

At the end of the crawl phase, we’ll know whether we’re ready for the walk phase, which turns up the aggression meter. Here again, we’re increasing what’s working, optimizing out of what’s not, and are 100% transparent with the results. We look to align our work with our client’s ROI and take a very thoughtful approach to what we call “Return on Marketing Spend.”

Any digital marketing agency can tell you the Return on Ad Spend is good – meaning they drove a bunch of clicks or other metrics – but we measure things based on how our strategy and execution is positively driving your bottom-line profit. It’s something most agencies shy away from. That’s why Uplancer dives head-first to demonstrate our partnership approach.

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

The run phase is where we’ve developed an accurate approach for your need, and we build on this through scale with precision. In this phase we have achieved proven bottom-line success, and together, we are driven with our customers to do more with web design and digital marketing.

They created a beautiful, fresh, clean and modern design that perfectly reflects my business. The navigation and flow of the site are seamless, making it user-friendly and engaging. What really stood out was how much they cared about getting to know me and my business to ensure the strategy, content and design truly reflected my vision (which was evolving – so this was tough!).
