Local Web site design services in Sonoma County
While the Web's reach is global, many Northern California businesses prefer working locally, which has distinct advantages. Our Creative Director, Jared White, has lived in Santa Rosa, CA for many years and understands the needs and concerns of the local community.
Whether you’re based in Santa Rosa or in surrounding cities such as Windsor, Sebastopol, Rohnert Park, Cotati, Petaluma, or the town of Sonoma, we can meet with you for a free in-person consultation and discuss how Siteshine can make your business shine on the Web.

For local retailers, it’s important that you maintain a vibrant Web presence that reflects the unique style of your storefront and the quality of your products. Our experienced website designers can analyze your retail operation, key audience groups, and messaging (whether business or education focused) and provide an online solution the works for you and your customers.
Effective Web design encompasses many aspects from professional visual design to strong copywriting to relevant info targeted to individual customer needs. In addition, putting careful thought into search engine optimization (SEO) techniques such as keyword density and describing specific demographics, product lines, services, or geographic locations on main pages or specialized landing pages can make sure your site comes up higher in search listings.
For example, if you run a floral shop, and someone does a search for “florist santa rosa”, you will want to make sure (a) your site is featured prominently, and (b) your site is well designed, attractive, features clear pricing and info about your services, location info, and so forth. Anyone visiting your site should have a throughly satisfying experience -- after all, if someone visited your Santa Rosa storefront directly, wouldn’t you want that to be a good experience?
Professionals in the Local Area
If you’re a professional working in Windsor, or Sebastopol, you are probably going to want to reach the larger audience of Santa Rosa as well. Or if you live in Cotati, you are going to want to reach potential customers in Rohnert Park, or Petaluma. A top-quality Web site can help you accomplish those goals. No matter what sort of offline advertising efforts you choose to employ, such as print mailings, radio spots, or the time-worn business card and brochure, your efforts can be greatly enhanced by referencing your Web site for additional information — which can enhance your credibility for people outside your immediate geographical sphere. Likewise, when somebody decides to search for “lawyer in Rohnert Park”, you have the potential to come up in their results list even if your office is based in Cotati.
Partnering Locally
An advantage to working with a local webdesign firm such as Siteshine is that we have the opportunity to visit your place of business and get a first hand glimpse of what you do and how you do it. One example of this is the Web site we designed for Dr. Douglass Toth, a Santa Rosa chiropractor. We visited his office and got a feel for the service and environment he was already providing to his patients, and we were able to transfer that presentation onto the Web. Our ego as Web designers didn't get in the way of providing a seamless experience between his place of business and his online presence.
So, the next time you are considering making changes or improvements to your existing Web site, or you need a new site built from the ground up, please give us a call or send us a message. We are a local business known for our professional quality and dedication to our customers, and we always love to answer questions and endeavor to be helpful and sincere in all that we do.
