Web Design for Modesto and the Central Valley
Beyond what you would expect!
Inventaweb, based in Modesto, CA, is not just another run-of-the-mill web design and development firm. We do not build websites that are surface pretty but have no depth of technology; instead we craft every site to meet our client’s exact needs and build them using our secure back end. With thirty years of computer programming and database administration experience and over a decade of web design and development experience, we can run with the best of the Bay Area firms. If you can imagine it on the web, we can build it for you.
Call us today so we can invent your next web site.
Website Design
This site is an example of our in-house design skills. As you can see from the examples here, our aesthetic is fresh, clean and powerful. Let us help you design a website that will express your unique style, and passion. Let us help you design a website that your clients will love.
Innovation
We excel at applying the cutting edge of technology to our cients’ website needs. If you scroll down this page you will see what we mean. The nature of technology is that it gets old and we like our clients having the latest and best technology which will allow them to meet their business objectives.
Responsive Design
An increasing number of people are visiting websites using a phone or tablet. Small screen sizes have been an issue for designers in the past. We are using responsive design principles which allow the site to transform itself to be usable on any screen size automatically.
Systems
Easy, Powerful and Secure
We have taken the time to build our own content management system (CMS) that is both user friendly and allows us to roll out projects quickly. Many consultants use Open Source CMS systems such as WordPress, Drupal or Joomla; while this is easy for the consultant, it makes it more difficult for the users to edit their own sites. Open Source CMS systems are vulnerable because any hacker can get the source code. This requires constant maintenance and updates to stay ahead of hackers. In contrast, our system is proprietary, meaning that it is significantly more secure.
Our CMS currently comes in four configurations: Advanced, Basic, Church and Commerce. Each system will be tailored to meet your specific needs before your website is launched. Our configuration for restaurants, Inventa-Dine, is currently under construction.
Inventa-Basic
Inventa-Basic is our entry level system for building websites. With a secure login you will be able to add, remove, and edit pages on your own site. Editing is done directly on the site itself as easily as using a word processor. You see what you are changing and how it will look before you make the changes permanent. All you need are basic computer skills to maintain your own website.
Inventa-Advanced
Inventa-Advanced is our premier system for building data-intensive websites. It has all of the capabilities of Inventa-Basic but it allows for many more advanced features. If your website needs any of the following capabilities, then Inventa-Advanced is the system for you.
- Maintain any kind of data (locations, products, persons, etc.)
- Interact with site visitors
- Connect to external systems through an API
- Create live graphs from data
- Plot geographic data on a map
Inventa-Church
Inventa-Church is a version of our Inventa-Advanced system that already contains all of the necessary capabilities for an amazing church website. Installed modules include:
- Audio and video archives
- Events and Calendars
- Leadership lists
- Secure, member maintainable church directory
- Church message board
Inventa-Commerce
Inventa-Commerce is a version of our Inventa-Advanced system that already contains all of the necessary plug-ins to connect to a Magento store. Display featured products on your home page and guide customers to your store directly from pages you can easily maintain.

Services
Web Development
We love making a well designed web site come to life. Having an attractive website is very important, but there is so much more that can be done: animation, secure customer login, e-commerce, database systems, user friendly editing... if you can dream it, we can invent it. Our programmers have years of experience and have yet to dissappoint a customer. Call us today to find out more about our web development skills.
Web Design
The web is becoming increasingly beautiful and artistic. Don't get left behind! We can help you design an amazing website that will show your customers who you really are. Our designs reflect the latest design principles, we are constantly studying exceptional designs and bringing what we learn to the work we do for our clients. Take a look at the featured sites on this page to get a better idea of our design work.
Search Engine Services
Being found on the web is becoming increasingly difficult for smaller businesses. Let us help you optimize your search engine ranking. We will find the best search terms on which to focus your site in order to improve your ranking. The reason you have a website is to have people visit it; don’t overlook this very important service or work with a developer who doesn’t really understand search engine optimization.
Database Administration
If your website will have any data associated with it, you need to call us today. Few Valley web developers have significant database integration skills. Our lead developer, Nathan Bunney, is a former Oracle University instructor where he taught Database Administration. With over 20 years of database experience, your project will be in safe hands.
Mobile Design
Just because you have a website does not guarantee it will look good or be usable on mobile devices. We build web sites that are responsive. Whether you use an iPhone, Android tablet or Microsoft Surface, our sites will be attractive and functional on your device.
Ecommerce
Selling your products on the web can be simple and lucrative with the right system. We work with Magento to create robust ecommerce solutions that connect securely with your accounting software. Our custom built Inventa-Commerce modules integrate smoothly with Magento. PayPal, Authorize.net and other payment services are all supported by the Magento system.
Writing Services
Words on a website should interest and impact the reader while delivering an accurate message. Our skilled technical writer will help you craft concise and powerful text for your new website.
Community Creation
Creating a community around your website is a powerful tool. Using Facebook ‘like’, Twitter ‘tweet’ and Google ‘+1’ buttons on your site is a good start, but building a Facebook app which integrates to your site is where the real fun begins. Building community will build your brand and reputation.
Project Management
Some clients already have an in-house team, but are looking for someone with more experience and wisdom to help them bring their difficult project to completion. We offer project management services for all types of technical projects - web and otherwise.
