From Hilo’s university town energy to Kona’s tourism hub, Hawai‘i Island businesses need websites that work as hard as they do. Tako Mojo builds fast, easy-to-manage websites and digital strategies designed for Big Island’s unique challenges like rural internet, seasonal tourism, and heavy competition with national chains.

Primary Industries & Challenges

Government & Healthcare

Hilo is home to UH Hilo, Hilo Medical Center, and county government offices, all requiring reliable, ADA-compliant, easy-to-update websites.

Tourism & Hospitality

Volcano tourism, Kona resorts, boat tours, and eco-adventures rely on smooth booking systems and mobile-friendly sites to capture visitors.

Agriculture & Food Producers

Macadamia, coffee, tropical fruits, farms and processors need direct-to-consumer sales, subscriptions, and wholesale ordering portals.

Small Retail & Service Businesses

Family-owned shops face competition from Walmart, Target, and Amazon. Smart SEO and a polished online presence help level the playing field.

FAQs

Find answers to common questions about our services, protocols, and how to book appointments.

Nope! While we’re based in Kea’au, we work with clients across all islands and beyond. Zoom and Loom let us collaborate no matter where you are.

We make distance collaboration painless:
Loom Video Walkthroughs – Instead of long emails, we record quick screen-share videos explaining progress, issues, or next steps. You can watch and reply on your schedule.
Figma for Design Reviews – You’ll see live design drafts, leave comments right on the mockups, and approve layouts before development begins.
Zoom or In-Person (if local) – We can schedule calls or meet on Hawai‘i Island if needed. If inter-island travel is needed we can discuss. This is not a problem in most cases.

Yes, but with some guardrails. You’ll have access to make day-to-day updates like changing text, swapping images, writing blog posts, and managing products (if e-commerce is enabled).
However:
Kadence Pro License: Your site uses our Kadence Pro license, so you won’t be able to modify layouts or Pro block settings yourself. Any structural or design updates should go through Tako Mojo to keep everything compliant and working correctly.
Custom Themes & Plugins: If your site includes custom-coded elements, those can’t safely be edited through the dashboard. We maintain those pieces for you to avoid breaking functionality.
Safe DIY Zone: We’ll show you exactly what you can edit confidently, and we offer support plans for anything outside that zone so changes are quick, consistent, and secure.
This approach keeps your site lean, stable, and future-proof while still giving you control over your core content.

We specialize in WordPress with Kadence Pro for full-page editing, giving you a site that’s easy to manage without sacrificing flexibility or performance. But, custom plugins and themes are an option as well.

Yes if you need a booking system, directory, or API connection, we can code it. Our custom plugins ad themes are lean, maintainable, and built specifically for your workflow.

Absolutely. We can combine design + dev with SEO, analytics, and content planning for a complete digital presence.

We can audit your current site, improve performance, update the design, and migrate it to a more scalable platform if needed.
