Web development for startups and businesses in San Francisco, CA
Eco Digital is a web development studio for San Francisco startups and local businesses. We build fast custom websites, web apps and online stores, and connect them to the tools you already use. We're based in Sacramento, California and work with San Francisco clients remotely, on the same Pacific time.
San Francisco
Websites for the city where startups ship fast.
San Francisco is one of the world's most important startup cities. Software, AI and developer-tool companies fill offices in SoMa, the Mission and the Financial District, and many well-known technology brands began in a small office or apartment here.
Venture capital firms, banks and professional services firms support that ecosystem, and Salesforce has its headquarters downtown. Tourism, hospitality, life sciences in Mission Bay near UCSF, and a strong base of independent restaurants and shops make the local economy much broader than tech.
Neighborhoods like the Mission, Hayes Valley, North Beach, the Marina and the Sunset each have their own restaurants, boutiques and studios, and the wider Bay Area reaches to Oakland, the Peninsula and Silicon Valley. Customers are used to polished digital products, so a slow or confusing site stands out quickly.

Working together
Remote studio, same Pacific clock.
We're based in Sacramento and work with San Francisco clients remotely. Being on Pacific time makes calls easy to fit into a sprint, and a live preview link lets founders, designers and engineers review work between standups.
Work starts with a short scoping call, a fixed quote and a written plan. From early in the build you get a preview link to share with co-founders, advisors or investors, who can comment on the actual pages.
Your project
What a San Francisco website project looks like.
A typical San Francisco project starts with a short call about your goals, your customers and the pages you already have. For an AI or software startup, that often means a product story, waitlist or sign-up flow and careers page first. For a neighborhood restaurant or shop, it means menus, reservations or an online store staff can manage.
We wireframe the key pages, agree on the copy and design the full site. After you approve the design, we build it by hand, connect sign-ups, billing, analytics or checkout and test it on phones, tablets and desktops.
Before launch we check speed, accessibility, redirects from your old site and the technical SEO basics, so the new site is ready to be found in San Francisco searches from day one. After launch we can keep supporting the site with updates, monitoring and new features as your business grows across the region.
Our clients include businesses across San Francisco and the Bay Area, and we design each site around where its customers actually are. For businesses that serve several towns, we can create service-area pages for places such as SoMa, the Mission, Hayes Valley, North Beach, the Sunset, Oakland and the Peninsula, each with useful information rather than the same text repeated. We also think about the people searching: investors checking out a startup, candidates comparing employers, and locals looking for dinner in their neighborhood. Each group wants something different from your site, and good page structure makes sure they find it quickly.
Local search
Built to be found in San Francisco search results.
Many San Francisco web design searches are local: people add "San Francisco", "San Francisco CA" or a neighborhood name, or search for a company near them. Every site we build has fast pages, clean headings, business schema and service pages written around the terms your customers actually use.
We can also help with local search outside your site, such as consistent details on Google Business Profile and on the startup, dining and service directories Bay Area customers use.
