What it is
The studio at the center of everything else here. Willhite Strategy Group designs, builds, and operates websites for small and mid-sized businesses across Sonoma County and the North Bay — and its infrastructure runs every venture on this page.
What it does
- Custom website design and build, hosted and maintained.
- Local SEO, analytics, and lead capture wired in from day one.
- Clients own their own domains — hosting is a service, never a lock-in.
How it works
The studio is the oldest thing here and the reason the rest exists. Building and running sites for other people is what produced the infrastructure — the servers, the deploy pipeline, the analytics, the monitoring — that every other venture on this register now sits on.
A client site is designed and built to order rather than assembled from a theme, then hosted and maintained as an ongoing service. Search visibility, analytics, and lead capture are wired in during the build instead of being sold back later as an upgrade.
The domain always stays in the client’s own name. Hosting is a service they can leave, which is a deliberate constraint: an agency that holds your domain hostage is not a partner, and the studio would rather earn the renewal.
The clients are small and mid-sized businesses across Sonoma County and the wider North Bay — contractors, trades, local services, the kind of operation where the website is the only salesperson working at midnight. That shapes the work: fast pages, a phone number that is easy to find, and enough structured information that a search engine can state a business’s hours and service area without guessing.
Sites are served from our own infrastructure and monitored from it, which means a problem surfaces here before a client notices it. The same audit tooling that Sentinel sells to strangers runs against client sites too, so accessibility and privacy issues are found by us rather than by somebody’s attorney.
