It’s so nice to meet you.
Hi, I’m Wendell, and I founded Five Point Web Solutions to handle the web needs of businesses of all sizes, from startups and small shops to established companies and nonprofits, in Idaho and across the United States. Whether you’re a local venture, a scaling enterprise, or a mission-driven organization, we’re here to build the online presence that fits your story.
I know the ups and downs of business life all too well. Since 1999, I’ve run my own web development and management agency, along with side projects in different industries. That real-world know-how lets me create smart, competitive websites for businesses and nonprofits that deliver results without the hassle.
Organizations like yours often face unique challenges, whether competing in crowded markets or stretching resources to make an impact. That’s why we keep things straightforward: our efficient approach to professional web design services helps you stay nimble, responsive, and ahead of the curve. Right from the start.
I’d love to team up and craft a modern website that showcases your strengths. We charge a fair, one-time fee for the build, so you can dive in without unexpected costs. Need help with content? Just share your business details, and we’ll collaborate to make it shine; or handle the writing for you. It’s designed to feel effortless.
From there, our optional monthly maintenance plans keep your site fresh and secure, using cutting-edge tools that adapt as you grow.
Let’s make your web experience simple, effective, and tailored just for you.
Digitally yours,

Our experience
Geeking out since the 1980’s
In high school, Wendell Harness was a full-on nerd, complete with black-framed plastic glasses, with distinct interests in computers, math and science. He began tinkering with the Atari 400 console his Mom bought for him one Christmas. After becoming bored with playing games, he hacked into the Atari’s operating system using the cassette deck accessory and began writing his own adventure games.
Established in 1986
Shortly after high school, Wendell built his own bulletin board system (BBS) after a self-taught crash course. He dubbed it “When Pigs Fly” after a competitor challenged him with that very phrase, claiming there was no way he could figure it out that quickly. People were soon asking Wendell for help with their own projects and Harness Technology was born.
Transitioning to the WWW
In 1989, a British scientist invented the World Wide Web (WWW) Project. It didn’t take long for it to catch on among the geeks of the world, and Wendell was no exception. While working full-time days as a Land Surveyor, he moonlighted throughout the 1990’s building various types of online entities. By 1999, he decided to get serious with his company and began building websites for clients.
Embracing WordPress
Up until 2005, Wendell had been building websites manually using PHP, HTML and CSS. He wanted to find a good starting point instead of reinventing the wheel with each new website. After spending a few years working with myriad content management systems (CMS) such as PostNuke, Joomla, and Drupal, he eventually settled on WordPress. By 2008, WordPress would become the official CMS of Five Point Web Solutions.
A pioneer in Website Care
In 2014, we pioneered the Website Care trend to offer all-inclusive website hosting and maintenance services, becoming a virtual “web team” for businesses across the nation. Our clients soon realized that our Website Care services would relieve them from dealing with multiple third-party services for domain registration, web hosting, web development, ongoing website maintenance and SEO.
Focused and dedicated
Over the years, we’ve offered our clients a huge array of services involving IT, web technologies, mobile devices and social media management. In 2010, we decided to focus our attention specifically toward building and maintaining websites. Five Point Web Solutions builds fast, secure and professional websites that become your digital marketing platform, featuring mobile-friendly design and proper SEO foundations that meet legal requirements for accessibility and privacy.
Awards we’ve won
Nationally recognized
The Catholic Media Awards recognize and celebrate excellence in Catholic journalism and communications. For the 2025 awards, the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon submitted the website that we built and continue to maintain. They won the “Best Website” category out of all submissions nationwide.
Creative accolades
In 2023, we worked with the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon to build a new website. In the process, we built a new way for them to manage and showcase their annual Jubilee celebrations. This resulted in SSMO receiving a Hermes Creative Award in the Electronic Media category, in which our participation in the project was acknowledged.
Rewarded and awarded
After the devastating Santiam Canyon wildfires of 2020, a team of local businesses banded together to form the Santiam Rebuild Coalition. In a collaborative effort with VanNatta Public Relations, we donated the website build and ongoing maintenance for the SRC. Subsequently, the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) recognized our hard work with an Award of Merit.
