— Local roots
Who we work with in Cedar Falls
When we moved from Stanwood, Washington, our first Iowa desk was at Mill Race Co-working (now Gravitate), downtown by the Cedar River. Our main office is now in Waverly, and we still work with Cedar Falls businesses.
Cedar Falls is home to the University of Northern Iowa, and it has a busy downtown on Main Street. Our clients here are shops and professional firms that need a site people can use on their phone and that brings in real inquiries.
Provenance Architecture (opens in a new tab) has offices in Cedar Falls and Waterloo. Their site walks clients through the design process and the portfolio, with an inquiry form along the way.
AI services for Cedar Falls businesses
Wapiti is an AI agency as well as a web agency. Our AI services take on the busywork that comes back every week: answering common customer questions, sending each request to the right person, following up, and drafting replies that sound like you. You approve anything before it goes out. We also set up help with reports, scheduling, and reading through documents.
We don’t tie you to one AI company, and your data stays yours. If AI isn’t the right fix for a problem, we’ll say so.
Web development, not just design
A good-looking site is the start. Most Cedar Falls projects also need something to work behind it: a booking or inquiry flow, an online store, a course area, or a connection to the tools you already use.
We build custom WordPress sites and handle the development side ourselves, including eCommerce, courses and LMS, memberships, and donation sites. See web design and development for how a build runs.
Supporting services: SEO and GEO, advertising, and email
Once the site works, people have to find it. Our SEO and GEO work covers your pages and Google Business Profile so Cedar Falls searchers find you. GEO means structuring your pages so AI tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews can understand your business and cite it. We report what changed and what it did.
We also run advertising that sends people to pages built to convert, and we handle business email and customer email. We don’t offer social media management.
After launch: hosting, WordPress care, and Google Workspace
We can host the site and keep it updated through WordPress care and hosting, and train your staff to change text and galleries on their own. We also do Google Workspace setup for business email, calendars, and shared files.
Working with businesses across Iowa
Cedar Falls is part of the Cedar Valley we call home. See our Waterloo page, where we built the site for Hawkeye Stages, and our Waverly page, where Self Help International runs on a site we built. In Decorah we built the site for Legacy Student Travel. See other places we work in Iowa or browse our work.
Nationally
Wapiti is based in Iowa but our team is 100% distributed with members in Arizona, Washington, California, Montana, and Wisconsin. We have the expertise to handle AI and web design regardless of where you are located in the United States.
Globally
While Wapiti focuses on building our clientele here in the USA, our clients serve a global audience, and we support them all the way. We have helped business clients find large-scale growth and nonprofits with outreach in the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico, Haiti, the Netherlands, and Germany.

— How it works
Working with a Cedar Falls team

— FAQ
Questions we get
Who builds websites in Cedar Falls, Iowa?
Wapiti Digital does. We are an AI agency and a web design and development agency. Our first Iowa desk was downtown at Mill Race Co-working, our main office is now in Waverly, and we built the site for Provenance Architecture, which has offices in Cedar Falls and Waterloo.
What's the difference between web design and web development?
Design is how the site looks and reads. Development is what makes it work: forms, stores, logins, courses, and connections to your other tools. We do both.
Can you take over and fix an existing WordPress site?
Yes. We can review what you have and tell you whether it needs a rebuild or a set of fixes, then host and maintain it after.
How long does a small business website take?
About a month for a typical small business site, as long as content and feedback come back on schedule. If those run late, launch moves with them.
Can we meet in person in Cedar Falls?
Yes. We meet Cedar Falls clients in person. Between meetings, drafts are shared by link and feedback happens on video calls and email.
Do you do SEO for Cedar Falls businesses?
Yes, as a supporting service. SEO and GEO cover your pages, your Google Business Profile, and showing up in AI answers. We report what changed and what it did.
Do you offer AI services in Cedar Falls?
Yes. We set up AI that answers common customer questions, routes requests, drafts follow-ups for your approval, and helps with reports and scheduling.
Can my staff edit the site?
Yes. We build it so your team can change text and galleries without calling us. We train them before launch.
Do you host and maintain the site?
Yes. Hosting and updates are available as a monthly plan, so the site keeps running after launch.
