Solutions

At Local Web Pilot, we aim to provide our value through research, content, and community building—not by selling products & services. We want to maintain objectivity. However, we feel compelled to host, support, and offer the our first Business App powered by Vendasta and other solutions we're developing to better understand the challenges and prototype effective solutions. Not by only selling them valuable services and products, but through research, journalism, advocacy, community engagement, and good vibes.
