Web Development · Oakland, CA

Web development for Oakland's health providers, port businesses and makers.

Kaiser Permanente and the Port of Oakland anchor two big ecosystems of smaller firms. Both run better with software built for how they actually work.

Kaiser Permanente is Oakland's largest employer, with more than 11,500 people, and it is headquartered here. Around it is a large ecosystem of smaller health businesses: independent practices, therapists, home-care agencies and suppliers. On the other side of downtown, the Port of Oakland is the busiest in Northern California, supporting trucking, warehousing and customs work. Both groups deal with forms, schedules and documents all day, and many still handle them by email.

We build custom web applications to take that work off your staff. For health providers, that might be intake forms, appointment requests and a client portal, built with privacy in mind from the beginning. For port businesses, it might be a shipment-status page or a quote tool that collects every detail on the first pass. For Oakland's makers, it might be an online store that syncs inventory with in-person sales at First Fridays or a street fair.

Most projects connect to something you already use, such as a practice-management system, accounting software or a payment processor. One custom third-party integration is included in every website package, and larger integrations are quoted separately. Web apps, portals and integrations start at $575 and are priced by complexity. Financing at 0% is available with 25% down for up to 12 months on any project. The code is yours when it ships, and the person who wrote it answers when you call.

Businesses online

83% of US small businesses had a website in 2025; over a third of those without one said they did not think a site was relevant. That is a national survey, not an Oakland figure.

Web Development in Oakland: questions we hear.

Can you build a HIPAA-compliant patient portal?

We can build portals for health providers and plan hosting and agreements suitable for protected health information. Compliance also depends on your own policies, so we work through it with you rather than claim it with a badge.

Can our online store sync with our in-person sales?

Usually, yes, if your point-of-sale system offers an API. Many popular ones do. We confirm before quoting.

How is web development priced?

From $575, depending on complexity. You get a fixed quote after we understand the scope.
