Why Is Webvanta a Great Solution?

“Webvanta truly delivered for us. Their expertise, team, and highly flexible platform turned this from a problem project (left behind by another vendor) to a site we are genuinely proud of. One of Webvanta’s real strengths is the ability to organize complex, information-heavy sites into useful tools for end users. They quickly understood our challenge of telling a story about agriculture, the future, and a unique way to make change, and helped us see how our site could support our mission.”

— Joseph McIntyre, Ag Innovations, Sebastopol, CA

“It was an absolute pleasure working with the Webvanta team. We now have a fantastic website that is not only beautiful, but functional, organized, and easy to update. Michael has extensive technical knowledge, and has the talent to translate solutions into layman's terms. Webvanta was able to meet all of our needs, including integrating with other data sources. Their implementation of the visual design that our designer produced was flawless, and they have been very responsive to every request.”

— Lynn Cunningham, UC Berkeley History of Art Department, Berkeley, CA

“Webvanta was a responsive and proactive partner throughout our website build, and we are very pleased with the outcome. The firm's talented staff spared no effort in helping us achieve a site befitting our programmatic needs and ambitions. I would enthusiastically recommend Webvanta to any organization seeking to upgrade its Internet presence.”

— Tim Dougherty, Music Academy of the West, Santa Barbara, CA

“Several months ago, we were having problems with our email provider. Within three working days, Webvanta had us on a new server and had created 50 new email accounts. We decided to go ahead with Webvanta for our website overhaul and I have to say, I could not be more pleased. We are a 60-year-old lumber company and it would not be an understatement to say we needed a little hand-holding throughout the process. Webvanta's service has been unmatched, and they are fantastic at verbalizing and walking you through the whole process.”

— Jon MacBeath, MacBeath Hardwood, San Francisco, CA

“Webvanta was able to take all our input and create something that worked better than anything we'd used before. I add content almost every day, and I've found the back-end to be intuitive and easy to work with.”

— Mia Morelli, Foley Family Wines, Healdsburg, California

“When I decided to upgrade the company website I interviewed three different companies. From the very beginning I felt confident with Webvanta’s entire approach, and they didn’t let me down. I now have a beautiful, informative and functional website that is easy to update, has dramatically improved the number of contacts going to my sales department, and completely outclasses my old site’s SEO stats: of the 59 keywords we have historically tracked, 77% of them now appear on Google’s first 3 pages. This tremendous improvement has come in a short month and a half since the site went live, far surpassing my wildest expectations. I highly recommend Webvanta.”

— Stacey Coss, Santa Clara Plating, Santa Clara, CA

“When we were looking to update our website, we knew we needed major design help AND an easy way to maintain, add to, and update the site after its launch. Webvanta delivered all of that and more. Their team put together several design ideas and displayed them online for us to review. The process was surprisingly easy, and our new website was up and running in a very timely manner. Best of all is how easy it is to edit and make changes using Webvanta's online editing tools. I have no training in web design, but am able to make common updates and quick edits instantly. It's really impressive.”

— James Ivarone, Mill Valley Refuse Service, Mill Valley, CA

“Webvanta has been a joy to work with. From the initial consult to the site building process, and then through ongoing site maintenance, the team is always professional, quick to respond and changes are executed with efficiency. Webvanta's platform is easy to navigate and makes site updates simple, and most importantly, they built an attractive, quality site that we are proud of.”

— Caroline Firman, Association of California Symphony Orchestras, Sacramento

“Webvanta was able to provide the exact set of services we needed in order to develop a resource site for the institutions we serve. Our business users were able to learn how to manage the site's content effectively with little training. We appreciate Webvanta's responsiveness and their continued commitment to helping us find solutions that meet our needs. Their customer service is second to none.”

— Andrew Slain, Nelnet Business Solutions, Lincoln, NE

When it’s done, clients are pleased with the easy-to-use interface of the CMS.”

— Ginny Laughlin, Athena Design, Sebastopol, California

“Designing websites is an essential part of what I do. Developing them is an entirely different matter. Over the years, I have relied on a few developers to support me. I have always felt vulnerable. Webvanta has the depth, knowledge and experience to give me the confidence to pursue just about any web project that comes my way.”

— Toby Cowan, Performance Design Group, Sebastopol, California

“Webvanta dramatically lowered our cost and shortened our timeline to launch Spartina.com. We like the flexibility to quickly add more content to grow our site, and the ability to categorize content easily. Most impressive is that within minutes of writing content, it appears on-line, visible to the users.”

— David Hehman, Spartina, Sebastopol, California

“We needed a flexible, simple tool to create and launch our new knowledge-based Commercial Space Gateway site, fast and at very low cost, and Webvanta fit the bill. Just as important to us, now that we’ve launched, is that anyone can add, delete, and update any type of content. Webvanta truly rocks!”

— Richard Mains, Mains Associates, Berkeley, California

“I was pleased to discover that Webvanta is an SEO's Dream Come True. The built-in SEO features for on-page optimization are easy to use and make it easy to implement pages optimized for your targeted keywords. The built-in search-engine-friendly URL structure, blogs, and other features make content organization something you don't really need to worry about. Bottom line, sites built with Webvanta quickly rank well on Google.”

— George Grant, Connected Markets, Los Angeles, California

“One of the North Bay's leading law firms (www.smlaw.com) came to us to redesign their website. Webvanta was a perfect partner to build this site with us. 1stWave was able to focus on the design and user experience, and Webvanta ensured we had an easy-to-use CMS. The Webvanta team used their platform to build the dynamic database-driven pages at a fraction of the cost that we would have had to pay an engineer to build from scratch.”

— Josh Woodlander, 1st Wave Interactive, Sebastopol, California

“Webvanta has been vital in growing my web design business. Working with Webvanta allows me to offer my clients sites with features beyond what I had been able to provide. In addition, the company's webinars and support staff have taught me so many new skills. Being a graphic-designer-turned-web-designer, it has been a tremendous benefit to find a partner that helps me bridge the technical gap. It lets me focus on my aesthetic skills, knowing they can step in and help me deliver whatever my clients may need.”
