Bay Area web design

Custom websites for small businesses around the Bay.

Northbound Digital builds fast, hand-coded websites for independent restaurants, cafes, salons, barbers, gyms, auto detailers, real estate agents, and local service businesses.

Built local

Based around Castro Valley and Newark, serving Fremont, Union City, Hayward, Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose, and nearby Bay Area cities.

Built fast

Most small business sites ship in 1-3 weeks with clear pricing, mobile-first design, and no monthly website-builder lock-in.

Built to convert

Every page is shaped around calls, bookings, menus, quotes, service requests, galleries, and the trust signals a local customer needs.

Service areas

Northbound works best with independent businesses in the East Bay and greater Bay Area. The first local SEO priority is simple: make your website, Google Business Profile, and other listings describe the same services in the same places.
