Bay Area Web Design
Founded in 2003, Bass Web Design now spans the nation, from the San Francisco Bay to the Chesapeake Bay. Originally founded in Walnut Creek, California, Bass Web Design moved its home operation to Baltimore, Maryland in 2005, while maintaining its west coast presence through its partner company, ThoughtMatrix. If you are local to either Bay, you'll have the convenience of working with a design and development company that can meet you face-to-face on your own turf. Our hands on, personal engagement model delivers superior results for clients of all sizes. Bass Web Design is the premier Bay Area company to get your web-based company launched and on a well-planned path to profit.
What We Do
CMS
In order for your web content to stay current, it needs to be easily updated by the content creators themselves-- writers, managers, marketers and such—without the need for any coding or advanced computer skills.
The tool that enables this kind of editorial freedom while still maintaining consistent navigation and design is a Content Management System (CMS).
eCommerce
Lots of companies can build you a website. At Bass Web Design we build more than just sites; we build online business systems that are integrated, profitable and designed to scale.
Building from a strong strategic base, we help our clients manifest their marketing goals through back end software development, ecommerce implementation, front-end design, and — perhaps most importantly — traffic generation through search engine marketing, pay-per-click advertising, and affiliate programs.
Flash Design
Getting your message across on the web is tough and only getting tougher. Users are crushed for time and very discriminating….if you fail to capture their attention at the outset, chances are they will leave your site and never come back.
One way to set the hook is through superior interactivity and graphic display, both of which are enabled by Adobe Flash.
SEO
If your business is reliant on search engine traffic, SEO is absolutely necessary. Google and other search engines look for very specific attributes in a site, and if they are not present you will be punished...to a degree that can often make the difference between a thriving and a failing business.
While SEO is an absolute necessity, it is also a confusing field of expertise, rife with grifters and carpet baggers propped up by little more than hot air and loose ethics.
Finally, a Content Management System that works for real people in the real world.
Bass Web Design is proud to announce the release of Black Mamba , our drop-dead simple to use CMS.
We built Black Mamba because we knew there had to be a better way. Surveying with vast and cluttered CMS landscape, we saw that while many applications promise ease of use, few actually deliver. So we started from the ground up and built a new system based on the principles of radical simplicity and ease-of-use.
Black Mamba features a crisp web 2.0 admin interface that empowers real-world users to confidently manage websites of any size or complexity. And — unlike the vast majority of open-source CMS systems — Black Mamba contains a search engine optimization platform that automatically imbeds SEO best-practices into every page, quickly propelling your site to the top of search rankings
The days of a steep learning curve for CMS users are over. Find out how Black Mamba can radically improve your content management.

Bass Web Design Teams Up With The Freedom Campaign
Bass Web Design is proud to have collaborated on The Freedom Campaign. A joint effort of the US Campaign for Burma and the Human Rights Action Center, this project is focused on raising awareness of the struggle for freedom facing the people of Burma and their duly elected leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.
The people voted her in and the military leadership is keeping her out of office. They are also silencing her powerful message of hope and respect for human dignity by keeping her under strict house arrest. Please join us in working to support human rights and the rule of law in Burma.
