Gig Harbor, WA
Web and mobile app development in Gig Harbor
Harbor Media is a software company in Gig Harbor, Washington. We build the websites, apps and systems that off-the-shelf software can't cover — and we keep them running afterwards.
Full stack, not just a front page
Most local shops stop at a brochure website. These are what a business needs next, and we build all of it ourselves.
-
Websites
Fast public sites you can update yourself, with analytics that answer a question.
-
Web applications
Tools your customers and staff log into: accounts, permissions, reporting, daily operations.
-
iPhone apps
Real iPhone apps on the App Store, published under your own Apple account.
-
Android apps
Real Android apps on Google Play, published under your own Google account.
-
Connecting your systems
Getting the software you already pay for to share information automatically, with real handling for when one end is down.
-

We host it, watch it, back it up and fix it, with a response time in writing.

Straight answers
- Do you work with businesses outside Gig Harbor?
- Yes. Most work happens over booked video calls and private previews, so distance rarely matters. In-person meetings around the South Sound are by arrangement.
- Do you build both iPhone and Android apps?
- Yes, both built properly for the platform. They're published under your own Apple and Google accounts, so the listing stays in your name.
- What does a project cost?
- We don't quote before we understand the problem. The first consultation is 45 minutes and free; after it you get a written scope and a fixed price. Because we build from blocks we already own, you're not paying us to write the common parts again.
- Who looks after it once it's built?
- We do. Harbor Media builds the software and then keeps it running — hosting, monitoring, backups, updates and fixes — on a support plan agreed with the build. Your data and your Apple and Google accounts stay in your business's name.
- Do you take on small jobs?
- If a website is all you need, we'll build it. If something off the shelf would do it for a fraction of the cost, we'll tell you that instead.
- How fast do you respond when something breaks?
- Support agreements name a response time in writing. Projects without one get a defined warranty window instead. Either way it's agreed before launch, not negotiated after it.
Start with the problem, not a plan
A 45-minute call is enough to work out whether this is worth building.
