Our philosophy
A website shouldn’t be a one-time project that slowly falls apart. We build sites the right way from the start, then stay with you to keep them fast, secure and current.
Five Point Web Solutions is led by Wendell Harness and based in Middleton, Idaho, but our clients don’t need to be nearby: we work with businesses and organizations nationwide, in 13 states so far. They include law firms, real estate teams, chambers of commerce, campaigns and professional organizations.
Clients have included Salem Health, the Salem Fire Foundation, the Knudson Foundation, Jamieson Law Firm, CashCo Financial and the Middleton Chamber of Commerce.
Our technical standards
- WordPress with the modern block editor
- Performance-first builds with caching and image optimization
- Multi-layer security and daily backups
- Accessibility-minded design
- SEO foundations on every page
Our story
Wendell has been tinkering with computers since the early 1980s, when he taught himself to write BASIC programs on an Atari 400. That curiosity has carried through every era of the web since.

Wendell launched his first bulletin board system under the name Harness Technology, connecting people online before the web existed.

On to the web
While working as a land surveyor, he began building websites as the World Wide Web took off.
