Conor Gotzens — web designer & growth marketer
I build websites that pull their weight.
Design, build, and the growth work after launch — sites measured by the traffic they earn and the leads they close, not just how they look on launch day.

Selected work
Real projects, real stakes.
Founder Project — Content & Commerce
MeowTested(this one's mine!)
MeowTested reviews cat products the way owners wish brands would: real cats, real homes, published failures. I designed the brand, built the Astro site, and run the content and affiliate engine behind it.
Client Work — Commercial Construction
Lomax Construction
Lomax Construction has been building North Carolina's healthcare, civic, and commercial projects since 1996 — but its website was an outdated 11-page WordPress template that said none of that. I rebuilt it from the ground up: 54 pages covering every service, market, and location it serves, plus a 23-project portfolio that puts three decades of built work on the record.
Services
One person, end to end.
No account managers, no handoffs. The person who designs your site is the person who builds it — and the one who answers for how it performs.
Website design & build
Custom-designed marketing sites on Astro or Next.js — fast, content-editable, and built with search in mind from the first wireframe. From single landing pages to 50-plus-page builds with a CMS your team can actually use.
- ✓Custom design — no templates, no page builders
- ✓CMS setup (Sanity or Markdown-based) so you own your content
- ✓Technical SEO, analytics, and tracking wired in at launch
- ✓Fixed price, agreed scope, no hourly surprises
Growth & automation
After launch: SEO and content strategy steered by Search Console data, conversion tracking that actually attributes leads, and workflow automation (n8n, Make) that saves your team the repetitive hours.
More on growth workProcess
Simple on purpose.
Scope
A 15-minute call. You tell me what the site needs to do; I tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit, then send a fixed-price proposal.
Design
Brand direction and page designs you sign off on before a line of production code is written. No surprises at launch.
Build & launch
Fast static builds, CMS wiring, analytics and technical SEO included. You get async updates — meetings only when you want them.
Measure
Post-launch, the site gets judged on data: search visibility, conversions, load speed. Optional ongoing growth work continues from there.
