Web design and AI for Whittier small businesses.
I'm Adam. I run The Gridline Company out of West Covina, just down the road from Whittier. Uptown Whittier is a small-business gem. Real walkable district with personality. If you run a small business here, we should talk.
Built for Whittier, not for showing off.
Whittier has a real mix of small businesses: independent retail, restaurants and cafes, wellness, and more. I've worked with the full range. Whatever you do, the goal is the same: a website and digital presence that actually brings in customers.

Learn moreWhy hire local for this work?
You don't have to. Plenty of out-of-state agencies will happily build you a website. But here's what changes when you hire someone in your area:
We can grab coffee in Uptown Whittier or somewhere else nearby. When something breaks, you call me directly. When you have a quick question, you don't wait three days for a "ticket response."
For local SEO specifically, having a designer who understands Whittier matters. I know the area. I shop here. I know which streets are which. That shows up in the city pages and content I write for your business.
Be the first published case study from Whittier.
Most of my past work is under NDA, so I'm building out fresh case studies from this point forward. The first three clients per city who let me publish their project (with a screenshot, the goals, and the result) get 15% off their total project cost.
You stay in full control. You approve every word and image before anything goes live. Coffee in Uptown Whittier included if you're nearby.
What I can help with.
Pick the service that fits where you are today. Most Whittier clients start with one and add more later.
