It’s so nice to meet you.
My name is Wendell and I started Five Point Web Solutions to serve the website needs of small businesses all over the United States and beyond.
I understand what it takes to run a small business. In fact, I’ve been successfully running my own professional website development and management agency since 1999, as well as other businesses for other ventures and niche markets.
Because of my experience, I know how to build effective and competitive websites for businesses and non-profit organizations. But I also understand the struggles of small mom-and-pop shops that don’t have budgets to compete with the big dogs. By streamlining our processes into affordable web design services, Five Point Web Solutions helps you to be more competitive, flexible and agile.
I’d like to help you take on your larger competition by building and maintaining a great website for your business at a low cost of entry. There’s no hidden fees and we’ll even update your content as often as you like. Heck, we’ll even collaborate with you to develop the best possible content, or you can just tell us about your business, and we’ll write it for you. They say it won’t write itself, but in this case, it kind of does.
It only takes a small monthly investment to obtain a high-quality, modern website built by professionals that outshines your competition. With our amazing technology stack and unlimited content updates, you can remain agile and evolve as you scale your business.
I hope you’ll give us a chance to show how your website can be hassle-free and affordable.
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.
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.
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.
