Web Design in Oakland That Brings You Clients
I design websites for Oakland service businesses that turn visitors into phone calls and booked jobs. You work with one designer from start to finish, and the site is yours from day one.
Based across the bridge in San Francisco, working with Oakland businesses since 2011. Bilingual, English and Spanish.

Where the Desk Really Sits
Most Oakland Web Design Companies Are Not in Oakland
Search for web design in Oakland and look closely at the results before you call anyone. The first sponsored business in the map listings runs a 408 number out of San Jose, and several of the “Oakland agencies” ranking below it operate from other states or even other countries, with a local landing page doing the acting.
I will not play that game with you, so here it is straight: my desk is across the bridge in San Francisco, a 415 right next to your 510, and if you want to meet in person I’m about 20 minutes away on BART.
What I’ve learned since 2011 is that the location of the desk matters far less than the person sitting at it. The questions worth asking are who answers when you call, who writes your pages, and who fixes things when something breaks, and with me the answer to all three is the same person.
No Sales Team, No Hand-Offs
One Designer, Zero Layers
When Oakland business owners ask for recommendations on Reddit, they don’t ask for an agency, they ask for a good website design person. That word choice says everything about what people are missing, since hiring a typical agency means talking to a salesperson, then an account manager, then waiting while your project moves through a production team you’ll never meet.
Here you talk to me, Isaias Flores, and that’s the whole org chart. I listen to how your business works, I design the pages, I write the words, and I answer your messages myself, which is how I’ve run Brimar Online Marketing since 2011. Smaller on purpose also means faster decisions and a website that sounds like you instead of sounding like a committee
Straight From Clients
What Small Business Owners Say About Working With Me
Yours From Day One
You Own Everything I Build
Plenty of Oakland business owners are paying an agency month after month for a website they will never own, and the day they stop paying, the site, the domain, and sometimes even the phone tracking number disappear with the contract. That arrangement is rent dressed up as a service, and I refuse to build my business on it.
Every project I deliver belongs to you outright, meaning the domain is registered in your name, the hosting account is yours, and you get full admin access with nothing held hostage. Stay with me for years because you want to, never because a login is being kept from you.
The Businesses in the Middle
Built for Oakland Service Businesses
The biggest design shops in Oakland do beautiful work for nonprofits, foundations, and tech startups, and that leaves the everyday service business with two options that both hurt, a template site that looks like everyone else’s or an agency quote built for another budget. My clients are the businesses in the middle, the contractor in the Laurel, the restaurant near Grand Lake, the cleaning company in East Oakland, the salon in Temescal or Rockridge, the shop by Jack London Square.
That combination is what I build, and you can see it applied across my web design and development service and the projects in my portfolio.
Flat Pricing, No Surprises
What It Costs and How We Work
Agencies in the Bay Area commonly quote $10,000 to $30,000 for a small business website, a range built for their payroll rather than your return. My pricing works differently, with flat one-time packages published openly on my affordable website design packages page, and if your current site needs a rescue instead of a rebuild, my website update service covers redesigns too. Every new site also ships with a setup stack included at no charge, your Facebook Business Page, Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Google Business Profile, and on-page SEO, work valued at $555 that most designers bill separately.
The process stays simple from the first message to launch day. We talk about your business and your clients, I send a clear proposal with a flat price and a real timeline, and then I build, revise with your feedback, and launch. Call or text (415) 286 8852, or send me a message and I’ll reply personally within one business day.

How much does a website redesign cost?
A small business website redesign usually costs between $1,000 and $10,000 depending on the size of the site and the features it needs, while larger agencies often start above that range. The honest number depends on the shape your current site is in, so I review it first and quote a flat price with no hourly surprises. My website update service page explains how I approach redesigns.
