— Waverly, Iowa
Waverly is home. We're an AI agency and a web design and development agency, and our main office is here. We build websites, stores, and AI tools for local businesses, churches, and nonprofits.
Rated 5 stars by our clients
Wapiti moved its main office to Waverly in late 2020. Waverly is the county seat of Bremer County and home to Wartburg College, so a lot of our neighbors are small businesses and churches that serve students and families.
Our best fit here is a business that already has customers in town and a website that does not keep up. Maybe the site looks dated. Maybe it looks fine but nobody orders through it. We fix that second problem first.
We are an AI agency as well as a web agency. Our AI services handle the busywork that comes back every week. That can mean answering common questions when the office is closed, sending each request to the right person, or drafting follow-ups that you approve before they go out. For a small staff, it also helps with reports, email drafts, and scheduling.
We don’t tie you to one AI company, and your data stays yours. If AI isn’t the right answer, we’ll tell you.
Our Waverly clients include Self Help International (opens in a new tab), which has worked to alleviate hunger in Ghana and Nicaragua since 1959. thinkwell.coffee (opens in a new tab) roasts coffee in house on West Bremer Avenue and sells it online by subscription. 2 Guys Interior Focus (opens in a new tab) is a family-owned flooring and window treatment store serving the Cedar Valley. Riverwood Church runs on a site we rebuilt and still support.
Churches and nonprofits are a big part of our Waverly work. Self Help International replaced a broken site with a custom one for donations, programs, and updates, and their team can edit it without fighting the CMS. Riverwood Church’s site carries sermons as video, podcast, and blog summaries, plus giving and connection cards. See nonprofit websites and donation management for how we build these.
So Bremer County can find you, our SEO and GEO work covers setup and content for the searches that matter to you, your Google Business Profile, and showing up in AI answers from tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews. We track whether it is working. We also run advertising and handle business and customer email. We don’t offer social media management.
Waverly is home base for the Cedar Valley. In Cedar Falls and Waterloo we built the site for Provenance Architecture, and in Waterloo the site for Hawkeye Stages. See other places we work in Iowa or browse our work.
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.
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.
