Occidental
Occidental is a small community in Sonoma County, California, a west-county village in the redwoods on the Bohemian Highway, known for its historic family-style restaurants, arts and crafts scene, weekend farmers market, and surrounding farms and vineyards. Its business base runs on food and hospitality, arts and retail, tourism, agriculture, trades and home services, wellness, and real estate.

Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

Why hire an out-of-state firm for an Occidental business?
Because we deliver senior, enterprise-grade work online at a price and pace that fits, without the overhead of a Bay Area agency. An Occidental business gets the capability of a much larger firm with the attention of a small one, and on-site time when a project genuinely needs it.
Can you help an Occidental restaurant or food business?
Yes. A restaurant, cafe, or food business in Occidental is exactly who we build reservation, online ordering, point-of-sale, inventory, and reporting tools for, so the operation and the website run from one system, and we tune local SEO so visitors find you first.
Can you help an Occidental arts, retail, or wellness business?
Yes. A gallery, retailer, studio, or wellness business in Occidental is exactly who we build storefront, e-commerce, booking, membership, and reporting tools for, so the operation and the website run from one system.
Can you help an Occidental farm or agriculture business?
Yes. A farm, vineyard, or agriculture business in Occidental is exactly who we build production, harvest, CSA, market, inventory, and reporting tools for, so the operation runs from one system, even where field connectivity is thin.
Can you help an Occidental trade or home-services business?
Yes. A contractor, trade, or home-services business in Occidental is exactly who we build scheduling, dispatch, work-order, estimating, invoicing, and reporting tools for, so the field and the office run from one system, even where the signal is thin.
Can you help an Occidental business plan for wildfire and disaster resilience?
Yes. We build with off-site, immutable backups and tested recovery so an Occidental business keeps its data and gets back online fast after a wildfire, evacuation, power shutoff, or outage, real and recurring concerns in this country, with the plan documented, not just promised.
How do you handle data security for an Occidental business?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable and off-site backups, phishing filtering, strict access controls, and a tested incident-response and disaster-recovery plan, plus secure payment handling where you take payments. We set it up and manage it for you, aligned with your requirements.
What does a custom platform cost an Occidental business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; larger hospitality, e-commerce, or integration platforms scale from there. We scope it to what your Occidental operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running, and who owns the code and data?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there, and you own the code and the data outright, with no lock-in, hosted in an environment that fits your requirements.
Do you only work with large operations, or also small Occidental businesses?
Almost all our work is small: an Occidental restaurant, shop, or farm is exactly the kind of operation we right-size a platform for, without enterprise overhead, with on-site time when a project warrants it.
Can you help an Occidental business get found online and grow?
Yes. Local, regional, and national SEO, content, and lead tools tuned for Occidental and Sonoma County, so the customers and visitors searching find you first and the pipeline actually converts.
