San Francisco · Peninsula · East Bay · South Bay
Websites, web apps and business systems for companies across San Francisco, the Peninsula, the East Bay and Silicon Valley. Designed, built and connected by one team.
Local web development
Bay Area customers compare you against the best sites they use all day. A slow page, a clumsy form or a phone-only booking process sends them to the next result. At the same time, plenty of established local businesses here still run on phone calls and paper, and their customers notice.
We have built for that exact situation in South San Francisco. Denny's Garage, a family-owned auto body shop, had no website. We built its public site and the shop-management system behind it, so customers can request an estimate with photos, book appointments and check repair status from a private link, while staff run the day from one dashboard.
Whether you are a neighborhood business in San Mateo, a professional firm in Oakland or a startup in Palo Alto that needs a working product, we scope the job in writing, show you live progress, and build on a foundation you own and can grow.
Also serving The Peninsula, East Bay, South Bay, Silicon Valley, San Mateo County, Santa Clara County, Alameda County.

Why WebShift
A small team of developers who build the website and the systems behind it, and stay around after launch.
Our featured case study is a Bay Area business: a public website plus a working back office with estimates, appointments, status tracking and invoicing, used by the shop every day.
We build with the same modern stack and practices the region's software companies expect: typed code, real databases, role-based access and clean deployments.
Not every project needs an agency retainer. We scope to what your business actually needs, give you a ballpark early, and put the final price in writing.
Your code, domain, content and data belong to you. We document the build so your team, or any future developer, can pick it up.
Process
The same six steps for every build, from a one-page site to a full customer portal.
We learn how your business works, what's slowing it down, and what a win looks like.
We map the website, systems, data, and integrations — and agree on scope before building.
We design the experience for your customers and your team, from public pages to dashboards.
Frontend, backend, and integrations are built on a foundation that can grow with you.
Quality checks across devices and workflows, then a clean production deployment.
We maintain, improve, and optimize — and add the next piece when you're ready.

Yes. We build web applications with sign-in, databases, dashboards, payments and APIs. For a first version, we help you decide what has to ship now and what can wait, so you can get the product in front of users without rebuilding it later.
We price by scope rather than by headcount, so you pay for what your project needs. Our WebShift Launch package for small business websites starts at $1,500, and our online estimator gives a ballpark for larger builds in a few minutes. Every project gets a written scope and price before work begins.
Usually, yes. We integrate payments through Stripe or PayPal, transactional email and SMS, CRMs, accounting software and scheduling tools, and we can build custom API connections when an off-the-shelf integration does not exist.
Every site we build is fast, mobile-first and structured for search, with clean headings, metadata, structured data and pages that describe your services and the cities you serve. We also offer ongoing SEO and Google Ads management if you want help growing traffic after launch.
No. Projects run on video calls, shared preview links and written updates, which suits most Bay Area teams with busy calendars. If you prefer a different rhythm, tell us and we will plan around it.
