Level Up Marketing is a one player studio in Winston-Salem, helping local businesses go up a level online.
Hi, I'm Dillon. I build websites that help local businesses get found and grow.
I started young, doing freelance website work back in high school because I loved the design side of it, taking a blank screen and turning it into something people actually wanted to use.
Later, studying marketing at UNC Charlotte, it clicked into something bigger. I saw the real impact a good website has on a business, and just as clearly, how much a bad one holds it back. A slow, confusing, invisible site quietly costs owners customers every single day, and most of them never know it's happening.
I graduated in May of 2025 and turned that idea into Level Up Marketing. The mission is simple: give small businesses the kind of website that actually moves the needle, the kind that ranks on Google, earns trust, and turns visitors into customers. I want the local shops and trades to be able to go up a level, and compete with anybody.
Every site I build is hand coded, start to finish. No bloated templates, no page builders, no cookie cutter theme that a thousand other businesses are also using. Just fast, clean, custom work built to rank and built to last.
Winston-Salem has always been a maker's city. It grew up on craftsmanship and industry, from the Moravian settlers who founded Salem in 1766 to the manufacturing and trades that built the modern Twin City. Building things well is in the DNA here.
That spirit is exactly why Level Up Marketing is based here. The Triad is full of family run shops, skilled trades, and local businesses that do genuinely great work, and far too many of them are stuck behind websites that don't do them justice.
Local businesses are the heart of this community, and they deserve a digital presence as solid as the work they put out. When a Winston-Salem business ranks higher and looks sharper online, the whole community wins.
So that's the focus: serving Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, and the greater Piedmont Triad with websites that help our local businesses compete and grow. When you work with Level Up, you're working with someone right down the road who has a stake in seeing this area thrive.
Every site is hand coded from scratch, so it loads faster and stands out instead of blending in with every other template site.
SEO isn't an afterthought. It's structured into the build from line one, because a beautiful site nobody can find isn't doing its job.
No jargon, no runaround, no upselling you on things you don't need. Just honest guidance and a plan that fits your business.
Don't love the website? You don't pay. I'm confident in the work, and I'd rather earn it than lock you into something you're unsure about.
Tell me about your business and I'll map out your first level. No pressure, no jargon, just a plan.
