On the Bay Design & Consulting

Based in Oakland, California, On the Bay Design & Consulting is a small team, sized between one and ten people, working with small businesses that need their online presence built or improved. The agency positions itself around the idea that a website functions as a company's virtual storefront, and its services target businesses across various industries looking for a web and marketing partner rather than a single-service vendor. The agency's core offering is custom website design built on the WordPress platform, incorporating customized plugins and e-commerce solutions, with an emphasis on mobile-friendly, fully responsive sites that display well across screen sizes. Search Engine Optimization is offered as a complementary service intended to bring visitors to a client's site and improve rankings against competitors. Social media management covers Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, with the agency integrating client profiles into their websites and providing content and marketing strategy to keep audiences engaged, typically through monthly packages. Additional services include reputation management, where the team responds to online reviews to help maintain a client's ratings, and e-commerce setup that allows businesses to sell online continuously, paired with reporting tools for tracking sales and profit. Graphic design and brand management are also part of the service list, rounding out an offering aimed at handling a small business's digital presence from website build to ongoing marketing upkeep.
