Upstate Synergy

was formed around a simple, nagging idea in our founder’s mind- “Why do so many local websites suck these days?  They’re not made for people.

The web designers in Spartanburg, SC just didn’t care about that sort of thing- they were only in business to profit from bland, boring websites that didn’t consider the actual customer at all.

 

“Local businesses just deserved better.  I deserved better.”

 

Our founder Keith Koons was already a corporate superhero in the web marketing niche.  He had extensive experience helping Fortune 500 companies with branding, great page copy, sales funnels and search engine optimization.

But for some reason, only major brands were implementing these strategies.  The concept just hadn’t made it to Main Street, USA.

So Keith took action by teaming up with a savvy local web designer with similar ideals.  They set out to change the world one awesome website at a time.

The first site we built rocketed to the top of the search engines in five weeks.  The second saw conversion rates improve by almost 2,000%.  This quickly became a pattern for our clients.

Before long, referrals were coming in far past our hometown of Spartanburg, SC.  We were designing awesome brand experiences for clients in New York, Australia, Boston and Dubai.

Today, Upstate Synergy helps businesses all over the world start conversations with their ideal customers online.  We have never spent a penny on marketing either- there’s never been a need to. 

That’s what happens when you put relationships first and try to do everything the right way.

So if you’re looking for a digital design firm where engaging people is always the top priority, we think you’ll love working with the Upstate Synergy team.  Just let us know how we can help you meet all of your online marketing needs.

We design beautiful websites so you can focus on much more important matters.
