Columbus, Ohio
Is Our Home
Before Uplancer Agency was known for web design and digital marketing, we were certain about making Columbus our headquarters. In fact, each of our founding members has 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 Abhishek Chakrabarti and together, they started the student freelancing marketplace, Uplancer.
While at OSU, they met their final partner, Dave Schramm. He’s resident and a fan of the team up north. Together, they formed the digital marketing agency, Uplancer Agency. With Uplancer Agency, they’ve felt empowered to take on 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 as a company. From our main offices at 1560 Fishinger Road, we’ve connected with local businesses and local chambers to uncover the complex problems that existed and needed solving within our city. Little did they know that we were perfect 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 when common sense is used! Learn more about our digital common sense approach here.

We do everything digital, including digital marketing, web design, web development, app development, and cloud services. Each service is unique and shares one thing in common: our 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, OH is ripe with them. Additionally, we find that Columbus is special for many reasons:
- The housing market is booming and has never declined in population

- Businesses and talent are relocating to Columbus
- More than 100 languages are spoken within the region
The above is a recipe for success and growth, which we’ve experienced in the past years; demand from Columbus for our web design & development and digital marketing has increased. Beyond being a connected city, Columbus is home to businesses from various industries, such as automotive, healthcare, consulting, SaaS, market research, and many more. 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.
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 or Chicago, Illinois, 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.
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.
Common Sense
Web Design & Development that Wows Customers
Web design and development are the first services that you must get right as a new or existing business. It’s your digital front where current and potential customers are interacting 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:
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.
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 and take on your hosting responsibilities.
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.

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.

The Heart of
Uplancer Agency
We love Columbus and have built a presence around its offerings. 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 and we’re excited for the next ones. Check out some of the memberships that we are 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, and Clintonville. 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
With respects to company size, Uplancer qualifies as a small business. What you can expect when working with us is that 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 prefer this direct communication and lack of bureaucracy, making engagements more streamlined.
