AI consulting and business systems for Eureka and Humboldt County, CA
Run your business.
Not your software.
Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Copilot and Claude, set up for the way your business really works, by people who have run a company on them since 2003.
Most Humboldt County businesses already pay for tools they barely use. Files live in five places, messages get lost between texts and email, and nobody has time to figure out what AI is actually good for.
HumWeb/IT is an AI consulting and business systems company in Eureka, California. We connect the tools you have, add the AI that pays for itself, and train your team so it sticks. No hype, no year-long contracts, and a local person you can call.
One system for your whole business.

We run a business on this every day.
Most web developers and IT consultants have never run a business or managed a project. William Hardwick has spent 30 years running a successful multi-employee service business, managing crews, projects and a sales pipeline, and built its systems himself. That is what separates us from the tech guy down the street or the corporate firm across town. We know how to run an office, because we run one.
Four steps. No surprises.

AI consulting, answered.
What does an AI consultant do for a small business in Humboldt County?
An AI consultant looks at how your business actually runs, then sets up tools that save time: shared files and chat in Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, Copilot inside Word, Outlook and Excel, and Claude for writing, research and repeat tasks. At HumWeb/IT we also train your staff so the tools get used, and we make your website easier for AI assistants like ChatGPT and Google AI to find.
Do I need Microsoft 365 to work with you?
No. Many clients already pay for Microsoft 365 and use a fraction of it, so we start there. If you are on Google Workspace or something else, we will tell you plainly whether switching is worth it for your business.
Is my business data safe with Copilot and Claude?
Business plans for Copilot and Claude include admin controls and data protections that consumer accounts do not. We set up the business versions, lock down who can see what in SharePoint and Teams, and explain in plain language where your data lives.
How long does a setup take?
It depends on how many people you have and how much needs to move. After the free consultation you get a written plan with a timeline and a fixed quote, so there are no surprises.
Do you work with businesses outside Eureka?
Yes. We are based at 10 W 7th St in Eureka and work with businesses across Humboldt County, including Arcata, Fortuna, McKinleyville, Ferndale, Trinidad and Blue Lake. We meet in person.
