GearSite Web Solutions

Based in Waterloo, Iowa, GearSite Web Solutions is a small web development team that came together in 2013 to build websites for local and regional businesses. Its client list includes home builders, churches, landscaping companies, grooming boutiques, and recreational businesses such as a skydiving operator and a pinball venue, reflecting a focus on small and mid-sized business owners who need a functional online presence rather than an in-house web team. The company works directly with clients through project managers who guide them through the design process from initial consultation to launch. The agency's core offerings are web design and development, search engine optimization, site maintenance, and ongoing marketing, with social media marketing also listed among its services. Websites are delivered with basic pre-optimization built in, with SEO treated as an ongoing service afterward to improve rankings on Google and other search engines. Beyond design, GearSite offers eCommerce capabilities intended to let businesses sell beyond their local market, and its design process includes quality assurance testing covering both site functionality and user experience. Site maintenance is positioned as a way to keep content, design, and SEO current without requiring the client's ongoing time investment, with the stated aim of generating leads through an up-to-date, effective website.
