Mortimer Smythe Designs

Based in Oakland and serving businesses throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Mortimer Smythe Designs is a small team of developers, designers and business consultants operating for over 15 years. The agency works with organizations that need ongoing technology partnership rather than one-off projects, including those running parking management systems and membership management platforms, and it takes on both standard client engagements and pro bono or discounted-rate work for qualifying clients. The agency's declared services span search engine optimization, e-commerce development, web design and web development, delivered through a four-stage process of consultation, development, deployment and support. Consultation involves analyzing a client's existing systems and pain points before drafting a strategic plan. Development focuses on building scalable, tailored software solutions that fit into existing workflows. Deployment includes security, usability and scalability testing along with staff training to minimize disruption during roll-out. Ongoing support covers maintaining security, performance and reliability, with availability intended to meet or exceed service level agreements. Beyond web design and SEO, the company also describes work in business process automation and application development built to handle high-volume, mission-critical operations. Client feedback referenced on the site points to work involving back-end development, logo design, and marketing strategy advice alongside core SEO and web development tasks.
