Andrew Ziola

Based in Elmhurst, Illinois, this is an individual practice run by Andrew Ziola, a website developer and online marketer who has worked in web development since 1998, mostly within corporate marketing departments in the Chicago area. His career background includes in-house roles at organizations such as Abbott Diagnostics, IRI, Leapfrog Online, Focal/Broadwing, and USN Communications, where he managed websites, intranets, email campaigns, and social media channels for marketing teams rather than serving external clients through a traditional agency structure. Given this history, the practice is best suited to businesses or marketing departments looking for hands-on website direction and digital marketing management rather than a multi-person team. The described work covers website design, development, and maintenance, including responsive design, content management systems (such as Kentico and WordPress), and e-commerce and content-heavy site builds. Technical skills listed include HTML, CSS, ASP.NET, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL, alongside tools like Dreamweaver and Photoshop. On the marketing side, the experience includes SEO/SEM for organic and paid search, email marketing and marketing automation platform rollouts, lead generation, social media management, and website analytics for tracking and testing calls to action. Past work also involved consolidating multiple global websites and intranets onto single CMS platforms, managing web hosting and databases, and running multivariate testing and online advertising campaigns for customer acquisition.
