18 East Web Design

Based in Oakland, California, 18 East Web Design is a small team working with businesses that need a website, brand identity, or visual materials built from scratch or refreshed over time. The team size of 1-10 suggests a close-knit operation that handles client projects directly rather than through layers of account management, and the site's language points to ongoing relationships, noting that many client sites have been maintained for years. Services cover website design, including custom builds with original photography, brand graphics, interactive forms, and e-commerce functionality, alongside brand identity work such as logos, color palettes, and typography. The agency also offers social media design for posts, images, and video content tied to promotions and events, print design covering business cards, brochures, postcards, and print ads, and search engine optimization aimed at increasing site traffic and visibility. Website maintenance is offered as a continuing service to keep content current after launch. The stated process runs in three stages: an initial meeting and proposal covering cost, timeline, and project features; a design and programming phase in which clients review and approve layout, photography, written content, colors, and fonts before anything is finalized; and a launch and maintenance stage where the design is completed and updated over time. New engagements begin with a consultation to determine which services a client needs.
