About
I’m Keith Nickoles, a versatile web and CRO leader with 20 years of experience blending marketing strategy, UX/UI design, and front-end development. I own the full digital lifecycle—from wireframes in Figma through production code, CMS architecture, and measurement—then use data to improve engagement and conversion across funnels.
I enjoy bridging product, creative, and engineering teams to deliver end-to-end outcomes. Most recently, I’ve led full-funnel CRO and experimentation programs, migrated properties to modern headless stacks, and delivered improvements in load performance, engagement, and overall conversions while strengthening analytics and marketing infrastructure.
