Websites for Oakland's independent small businesses — the food makers, shop owners, and service pros who built the East Bay's reputation for doing things their own way.
Oakland runs on businesses that would rather be themselves than be a chain — the Temescal coffee roaster, the Rockridge bookseller, the Jack London Square restaurant that sources from the produce market a few blocks over. It's a city of makers and food people, of barbers and bakers and small studios, where "local" isn't a marketing word but the whole point. A website here has to carry that same independent character — it should sound like the person who answers the phone, not like a template with an Oakland zip code dropped in. We're a small studio crafted in California, working with Oakland businesses remotely, and we build and maintain that kind of site for one flat monthly price — so you can keep your attention on the work you opened your doors to do.
Walk Telegraph from Temescal down toward downtown and you'll pass a dozen businesses that share a block but not a single design idea between them. That's Oakland — and a good site should fit the one storefront, not the whole street.
