Hi. We’re White Whale Web Services of Oakland, California.

We make handcrafted, personalized Web designs that reflect the communities they’re created for. Most of the work we do is for colleges and universities, although we're happy to talk Web with almost anyone.

We’re also the developers of LiveWhale, a robust, scalable content management application built specifically for the needs of our higher education clients. Learn more about LiveWhale here.
