Cates Works

Create · Improve · Care · Grow

Strategy, design, engineering, and growth — from one partner.

Every engagement combines product strategy, thoughtful design, production-grade engineering, and measurable business outcomes. Here’s how the work is organized.

01

Create

Design & build

The core project engagement: turning an idea into a production-grade web application through a high-iteration design process.

We explore, test, and refine until it feels right — not merely until the first design is approved.

  • Product discovery & strategy
  • UX and interface design
  • Interactive, high-iteration prototypes
  • Web application development
  • Integrations & automation
  • Launch and measurement setup
02

Improve

Optimize what exists

Project-based improvements to lift conversion, performance, accessibility, and reach after launch.

Sharpen an existing product so it converts more of the traffic you already have.

  • Conversion audits
  • Performance optimization
  • Accessibility improvements
  • Search visibility
  • Funnel & UX improvements
  • Application modernization
03

Care

Ongoing partnership

The monthly recurring relationship — part maintenance, part online coach for your digital presence.

A dedicated partner who keeps your application healthy and always moving forward.

  • Priority support & strategy calls
  • Content & application changes
  • Analytics review & reporting
  • Performance monitoring
  • Conversion recommendations
  • Technical maintenance
04

Grow

Traffic & lead generation

Higher-value advisory that puts more of the right eyes on your pages and turns them into customers.

Build it beautifully. Grow it deliberately.

  • Landing-page campaigns
  • Paid-search guidance
  • Lead funnel design
  • Conversion tracking
  • Campaign experimentation
  • Lead-quality analysis

A high-iteration process

I’ve produced as many as nine prototypes for a single client to get an experience exactly right. We explore, test, and refine the experience until it feels right — not merely until the first design is approved.

Have a project, or a product that could work harder?

Most projects begin with a short, no-pressure discovery call.
