If you’re searching for a UX Strategist for Hire, you need more than a flashy designer — you need a partner who understands how digital strategy and user experience intersect.
That is where collaborators like Nate Balcom come in.
Nate is a seasoned UI/UX strategist with an eye for what users actually want — and what businesses actually need. He is part designer, part user advocate, part conversion whisperer. And we’re proud to call him an ally in our network.
So when Nate recently wrote about CIRRIUS, it got us thinking: great websites don’t happen in silos. They happen when you bring the right people to the table.
Collaborating with Nate: Design That Converts
When we bring Nate Balcom into a project, we are not just “designing a prettier interface.” We are engineering a better outcome. Nate brings more than pixels and color palettes — he brings clarity, intention, and user flow logic that turns browsers into buyers and frustration into conversion.
From simplifying eCommerce navigation to reworking lead generantion forms that just weren’t pulling their weight, Nate approaches every design challenge with one question in mind:
“Does this help the user move forward?”
And that is the question more businesses should be asking.
Nate’s strength lies in marrying form and function. He doesn’t chase trends, Nate builds experiences that actually work. Whether it’s advising on a checkout process or creating a responsive layout that adapts like a chameleon, Nate makes design purposeful.
We have collaborated with he on projects where user experience was the make-or-break factor and every time, Nate delivered insight that improved performance, not just aesthetics.
If you are building a website, app, or even a single landing page and you’re not consulting a UX strategist like Nate…you are just guessing. And guessing gets expensive.
UX + Strategy = Results That Actually Convert
At CIRRIUSbusiness, we combine technical SEO, digital strategy, and UX collaboration with pros like Nate Balcom to build websites that don’t just look good — they work harder.
Schedule Your ConsultationUX + SEO = A Beautiful Partnership
There’s a myth we love debunking: that UX and SEO are separate conversations. In reality? They’re inseparable.
Search engines care about user experience – a lot. Fast load times, intuitive navigation, mobile responsiveness, and clear content hierarchy all impact your rankings. But even more importantly: they impact whether your traffic actually sticks around.
This is where working with Nate becomes a strategic advantage.
We might optimize the technical SEO, the schema markup, and the on-page structure — but Nate ensures those elements are wrapped in a frictionless, human-first experience. He translates marketing funnels into flows that feel natural. He turns CTAs into intuitive next steps. He takes your bounce rate personally (in the best way).
Think of it this way:
- SEO gets users in the door
UX keeps them there – and leads them to take action
We have watched this synergy drive real results. One project saw a significant drop in abandonment rate after implementing Nate’s recommended UX changes — without changing a single ad dollar. That’s the kind of impact strategic design delivers.
If your SEO efforts aren’t converting, it might not be your traffic.
It might be your experience.
And it might be time to talk to Nate.
What CIRRIUS has Learned from Working with Nate
Bringing Nate into a project isn’t just a design decision — it’s a perspective shift. He doesn’t walk into meetings with mockups; he shows up with questions that reframe the problem.
Here’s what we’ve learned working with him:
Users don’t care about what you meant — they care about what they see. Nate spots the disconnect between business goals and user behavior fast, and helps bridge the gap.
Simplicity is powerful. When we overcomplicate, Nate cuts the fat. He reminds us that clarity outperforms cleverness, every time.
Design is not decoration — it’s function. With Nate, design is a tool to move users through a journey, not an aesthetic afterthought.
And perhaps most importantly:
A second set of eyes from the right strategist is worth its weight in conversions. You can get tunnel vision. Nate doesn’t.
This is why we don’t just call Nate for design help — we bring him in early, when it matters most. And if you’re serious about improving performance, we suggest you do the same.
Our Philosophy: Partner Up, Don’t Scale Alone
At CIRRIUSbusiness, we believe that building better digital solutions doesn’t mean hoarding all the talent, it means working with the best people!
That is why we maintain a trusted network of strategists, developers, marketers, and designers who raise the bar, not just for deliverables, but for outcomes.
Nate Balcom is a key part of that network.
We don’t just collaborate because it is convenient. We do it because we know what happens when you try to scale alone — corners get cut, blind spots grow wider, and the user experience suffers.
If you’re building a site, launching a product, or refreshing your brand and UX isn’t in the conversation yet – it is time to bring in someone like Nate.
Because strategy without UX is just a plan with a pulse.
And Nate? He brings it to life.
