Nick designed websites for the highly-demanding sports performance industry when he took a chance making website design software. The shift to software that allowed people to create beautiful websites (without knowing coding) became an instant hit! For over a decade, Nick Cates Design would be known as the market leader for high-quality website templates.
The successful ($2M software sales) Nick Cates Design customer base spanned internationally, serving a wide range of industries. New opportunities poured in from business owners around the world wanting custom websites made specifically by Nick Cates. While each client website provided a fresh and exciting challenge that turned out amazing, the work was exhaustive. Nick would only build custom websites for a small group of clients.
With 10 years of established UI/UX experience Nick started designing for large-scale app projects. These complex, multi-month long contracts ranged from e-commerce, web apps, to adventure booking. This client work involved investment based partnerships instead of building large-payment one-off websites. These business partnerships were a sustainable win-win for providing ongoing web design services, and later would serve as the foundation of Falcon Design.
Nick Cates Design was managing website software sales, custom client websites, and large scale app projects – an intense workload, all while the world was quickly changing. In 2020, Falcon Design was created as the premier solution for business websites, while the long-time software company was sold, giving complete focus to Falcon Design. Today, Falcon manages websites for industry leaders across the nation, with strong client relationships that only continue to grow!
