About Us


Brand deconstructed; Vision disclosed
 

Learn about Rick Costello, The Web Site Profit Doctor's history, vision, and plans to shape the Web design profession.

Gazing out windowVictim to "Big Firm Meltdown" in early 2002, Rick Costello believed he could establish the right partnerships and start a new consulting business faster than he could find another ideal employer.

While employed and leading Web projects for customers such as Ronald McDonald House Charities, Caterpillar Inc., The Naperville Chamber of Commerce, and Champion Pneumatics, this Senior eBusiness Consultant easily transitioned from "company cornerstone" to business owner.

After identifying one of the market's biggest problems (a Web site's inability to turn a profit), he decided to brand the business and fill the void accordingly.

The brand formula is as follows...

  • Web site: (n) a related collection of files that represents a company, organization or person.

  • Profit: (n) an advantageous gain or return; benefit

  • Doctor: (n) a person trained in healing and licensed to help

Rick Costello, The Web Site Profit Doctor™ is: (n) a person trained in healing and licensed to help you gain an advantageous return or benefit from your Web site.

With over 17 years of innovative Web design, marketing, communication and problem solving experience, Rick sought out to help small and mid-size companies extract measurable business value from their Web sites.

Combined with 15 years of traditional marketing strategies, merchandising techniques, software usability and consumer psychology research, he clearly understood the ingredients to Web site profitability.

Prior to "Big Firm" employment...

Rick owned New Age Graphix, a print, Web, and multimedia design firm that serviced customers such as Borg-Warner Automotive, Turtlewax, Donne Insurance Corp, and Draeger Institute.

And not only that, but...

Prior to his first business, he worked as a freelance designer on projects for Microsoft, Parker Bros., Toys "R" Us, Pizza Hut, Sylvania Lighting, United Parcel Service, McDonalds and others.

As for credentials...

The North West Center of Emerging Technology (NWCET) and National Skill Standards Board (NSSB) consider Rick a Super Subject Matter Expert (SuperSME) for Web and Digital Media.

And that's not all...

Rick is also a member of The Internet Caucus Advisory Committee (ICAC) and has agreed to help educate Members of Congress and advance the United States' world leadership in the digital marketplace.
