Our Approach to
Web Design and Digital Marketing

Everything we do is grounded in common sense and follows our crawl, walk, and run (CWR) methodology. While most digital marketing agencies stop at metrics like clicks or impressions and call it a win, common sense tells us to go further! We measure marketing effectiveness by how our strategy and execution impact your bottom-line profit. It’s a level of accountability many agencies avoid, but we embrace. Ask around if you don’t believe us!

Our second principle, CWR, is a phased framework for 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” by achieving real results first, then building on that foundation to drive even greater outcomes.

Z

It Always Starts with the Crawl Phase

Think of the Crawl phase as getting your feet wet with purpose. Whether we’re targeting customers in Columbus, Chicago, or 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”.

Z

The Sky's the Limit for the Run Phase

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 layer on more marketing tactics to accelerate growth and unlock new opportunities for our client partners.

Web Design and Web Development that Wows Columbus!

uplancer web design portfolio

Web design and development are mission-critical services every startup and established business in Columbus must get right. Your website is the digital face of your brand, often the first impression for prospects 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 are all the services we can help Columbus businesses stand out:

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 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

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. 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!

Answer Engine Optimization

Answer Engine Optimization

Trying to rank on answer engines, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude? We’ve got the AEO blueprint to do so and can map out all the local and national opportunities to get you listed. Just remember that you can’t skip SEO fundamentals when working on AEO.

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.

Digital Marketing
That’s Super Charged

We’re relentless about getting your marketing right. Backed by a team of traditional and digital marketers, we’ll do everything to build a strong online presence and drive meaningful customer action. From strategy to execution, we cover it all. Here’s a snapshot of our digital marketing services:

We Are Rooted in Columbus

Before Uplancer Agency was known for web design and digital marketing, we were certain we wanted to make Columbus our headquarters. That’s because our founding partners have direct ties with the city. Huy Nguyen is a true Ohioan, attending Ohio schools since Kindergarten, and later receiving his undergraduate and MBA degrees 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. Our full-service digital marketing agency empowers businesses to tackle custom web design and digital marketing projects from Columbus, Ohio.

Common sense tells us that Columbus, Ohio, is perfect for our marketing agency and is ripe with small and medium-sized businesses with which we’ve found a lot of success. Additionally, Columbus is especially important because:

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

This recipe for success and growth is why the demand for our web design and development, and digital marketing has increased in Columbus over the years! It matches why industries, such as automotive, healthcare, and real estate, are in need of some major updates. Columbus is a hotspot for business growth, which is why we’re here to stay!
