When DKT Yacht Services asked us to create a website for their business, we started by discussing their needs -- for a simple brochure site with a blog and with strong SEO. They also wished to avoid ongoing development issues and costs. Squarespace was ultimately selected as their choice of platforms.

"Everyone is telling us what a great website we have," says DKT himself.

We  built Tide Tracker in part to test a new generation of AI coding and project management tools. We also wanted to show that using a tide app doesn’t have to be complicated.

AI coding (or “vibe coding”) is reshaping how web projects are designed and delivered. But powerful tools don’t replace real-life experience. In fact, they make thoughtful design, clear strategy, and strong project management even more important.

Used well, AI accelerates execution. Guided by the right expertise, it can produce amazing results.

When Bay Design took on the redesign of their website, we considered the client's many needs and wishes to create a site that is visually sophisticated and able to convey the depth and scope of the firm's services. The site also needed to be multi-lingual (English and Chinese), easy for the client's staff to add and edit content, and easy to navigate within a structure featuring many sections and content categories.

When Berkeley Marine Center wanted a more professional design, clearer marketing message, and improved functionality on their website, they turned  to us, and we were happy to take on the challenge.

Blue Water Foundation is a non-profit organization that has introduced the joys and challenges of sailing to thousands of Bay Area young people -- many of them disadvantaged and at risk. 

Bay Design led the effort to redesign the organization's website, which launched in November 2024. For this project, we chose the Drupal open source framework, creating a content management system that allows volunteers to easily add and edit content.
