Olympic Web Design

What Olympic Web Design does

Olympic Web Design, Inc. is a family-owned web design, development, hosting, and internet consulting firm headquartered in Spokane, Washington. Founded in 1996 by John Hedy as Hedy Innovative Marketing Services and incorporated under its current name in 2000, the company sells professional services plus recurring hosting to clients ranging from individual small businesses to state government agencies and publicly traded corporations. Its service portfolio spans custom web design, PHP/MySQL development, WordPress and Drupal CMS implementation, multi-platform e-commerce storefronts, ongoing site maintenance, SEO/digital marketing, and internet consulting with particular emphasis on healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and higher education — verticals tied to the founder's prior tenure at EDS and Intel.

The firm's core technology stack is conventional LAMP-era web infrastructure: PHP, MySQL, Perl/C/COBOL CGI scripting, and certified-developer familiarity with Miva Merchant alongside mainstream platforms such as WooCommerce, Magento, OpenCart, Shopify, and Squarespace. Web hosting is delivered through tiered subscription plans (Email Only $4.95/month through Deluxe $34.95/month) plus VPS from $49.99 and dedicated servers from $119.99, with 24x7 server monitoring. The company also operates a private-label self-serve site builder at olympicwebdesign.net, allowing prospects to bypass the traditional sales-led channel for simple site creation.

The business model combines professional-services revenue (hourly billing with upfront retainer or fixed-price bids, plus maintenance billed in 15-minute increments with no minimums) with subscription-based hosting and a self-serve builder tool. Go-to-market is sales-led via phone (509-279-0369), email, and a website contact form; subcontractors are engaged on signed agreements to access specialized skills and flex capacity. The firm is bootstrapped, holds no outside funding, and operates as a privately held Washington corporation serving a primarily regional client base.

Broad incumbents

• Hostinger: Global low-cost hosting and website builder provider competing on price points below or near Olympic Web Design's Basic and Standard tiers. Comparable SMB hosting customer segment.
• GoDaddy: Large incumbent offering domain registration, web hosting, DIY site builder, and professional web design services to SMBs. Comparable to Olympic Web Design across both hosting and design services but with vastly broader scale, marketing, and productized offerings.
• Web.com: SMB-focused web services company offering website builder tools, hosting, and marketing services. Directly comparable customer segment and bundled service model to Olympic Web Design's hosting-plus-design offering.
• Bluehost: Mass-market shared hosting provider offering plans at price points directly overlapping with Olympic Web Design's $4.95-$34.95/month hosting tiers. Comparable hosting and WordPress-focused service for the same SMB segment.

Direct peers

• WP Engine: Managed WordPress hosting provider serving SMB and mid-market customers. Comparable to Olympic Web Design's WordPress hosting and development services, particularly the Standard and Deluxe tiers for WordPress sites.
• Squarespace: Hosted website builder targeting SMBs, creatives, and small online stores. Olympic Web Design offers Squarespace expertise as one of its integration platforms, and Squarespace itself competes for the same DIY customer base.
• Wix: DIY website builder platform competing for the same SMB and small-business customers Olympic Web Design serves. Comparable as an alternative channel for low-budget site creation, including for users who would otherwise hire a small agency.
• Thrive Internet Marketing Agency: WordPress-focused web design and development agency offering custom builds, hosting-adjacent services, and SEO for SMBs and mid-market clients. Direct peer to Olympic Web Design's WordPress-centric design and development offering.

Emerging players

• Shopify: Leading e-commerce platform that Olympic Web Design implements for clients. Overlaps as a peer because Shopify's ease of use and ecosystem compete with custom e-commerce builds for the same SMB merchant segment.
• Toptal: Freelance talent marketplace connecting businesses with web developers and designers on a flexible basis. Competes with small agencies like Olympic Web Design for project-based development work, particularly with clients seeking on-demand hourly or project-based engagements.
