What’s up with the name “SOAR?

SOAR Websites is a done-for-you website creation and management service that serves the Willamette Valley region of Oregon. Its name is an acronym derived from this phrase: Salem, Oregon Area Responsive.

In web design, the term “responsive” refers to the ability of a website to adapt its layout and content to different screen sizes and resolutions. A responsive website will dynamically adjust its display to fit and function well on various devices, such as desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

The name also describes how we can support and improve your business with a modern yet affordable online presence that includes all aspects a competitive website needs. Let’s make your business soar!

It’s so nice to meet you.

My name is Wendell and I started SOAR to specifically serve the website needs of small businesses in Salem, Oregon and the Willamette Valley.

I understand what it takes to run a small business. In fact, I am the owner of Harness Media, a website development and management agency based right here in Salem. I’ve been professionally building websites for businesses across the United States since 1999.

Because of my experience, I know how to build effective and competitive websites for small, local businesses. But I also understand the struggles of small mom-and-pop shops that don’t have budgets to compete with the big dogs. By packaging key features into affordable packages, SOAR helps you to be more competitive, flexible and agile.

I’d like to help you take on your larger competition by building and maintaining a great website for your business at a low cost of entry. There’s no hidden fees and we’ll even update your content as often as you like. Heck, we’ll even collaborate with you to develop the best possible content, or you can just tell us about your business, and we’ll write it for you. They say it won’t write itself, but in this case, it kinda does.

It only takes a small monthly investment to obtain a high-quality, modern website built by professionals that outshines your competition. With our amazing technology stack and unlimited content updates, you can remain agile and evolve as you scale your business.

With our 60-day money-back guarantee, I hope you’ll give us a chance to show how your website can be hassle-free and affordable.

Digitally yours,

Wendell Sig
