At Gulo, we understand the power of innovative, conversion-focused website design. 

Zach Wilson and Fred Simmons started Gulo in 2003. In that time, our company has grown and evolved. 20+ years of experience has taught us what websites need to be successful.

We obsess over finding ways to help our clients convert more visitors to their website. Our finely-tuned process emphasizes the importance of user-experience design, optimizing the customer journey, and streamlining the customer funnel.

We believe that a high-performing marketing website can help a business generate the traffic, leads, and conversions they need to remain competitive in the marketplace. It’s our passion, and we love talking about it! 

Today, we are announcing the $1,000 Gulo Marketing Website Design Scholarship!

This scholarship is set to honor the memory of our colleague and friend, Don Adams, who passed away unexpectedly in February 2022. 

Don was a dedicated husband and father who worked in the Digital Marketing field for many years. His marketing expertise, enthusiasm, and attention to detail earned him the respect of clients and colleagues alike. 

Don’s relationship with clients was truly unique. He cared deeply about each client and always went the extra mile to ensure they received the best possible service and experience. Don knew the importance of building relationships and connections with each client to guide the project to a successful outcome.

With this scholarship in Don’s honor, we aim to support aspiring web designers by helping alleviate some of the stress they experience paying for college. 

This scholarship is awarded bi-annually to a full-time student attending an accredited college or university in Kentucky, Ohio, or Indiana, with a declared web design or development major.

Applicants are asked to provide an example of a visually appealing web design with a high-quality user experience, navigation, and good content structure throughout. 

The winner will receive $1,000 toward their tuition and have the opportunity to have a design critique with our top web designers at Gulo.

There are two award cycles each year with application deadlines of June 11 and September 15.

Web Design is a rewarding career with unlimited growth potential. You’ll become a successful Designer by taking the time to understand how to truly connect with each client, and help them generate more traffic, leads, and sales for their business. 

Please visit the Marketing Website Design Scholarship information page for full details and to begin your application. 

We look forward to receiving your application!

As a digital marketing professional, I thrive on problem-solving, continuous learning, growth, and challenging assumptions. I especially love sharing what I’ve learned with others in this ever-changing industry.  When I’m not reading, writing, or researching marketing trends, I’m having fun baking (especially sourdough loaves), watching baseball (Go Cubs Go!), mixing up cocktails, or hanging out with my three adult sons.
