The Name Civano

The name "Civano" comes from the Hohokam Indian civilization who inhabited the South-Central region of what is now Arizona (including Tucson). The Hohokam developed sophisticated social and economic systems. The Civano Phase was from the years 1300 to 1450, near the end of the Classical Period which was known as a time when human needs were balanced with the natural resources.

Hohokam Village Ruins Site in Oro Valley Today, the name Civano represents a "New Urbanist" community in Tucson notable for pioneering more sustainable living patterns, use of solar/energy-efficient homes, and natural desert landscaping. The mixed-use neighborhood by design encourages community interaction by a network of pedestrian footpaths and common/open space.

Civano Web Design was founded in 2011 and located in the Civano community in Tucson. Some of the photographs in this website were taken in and around Civano.

Civano Web Design returned to Civano in 2023 after several moves to California and Marana, AZ. CWD continues to serve clients in the Tucson, Arizona metropolitan area and in other selected areas nationwide.

I needed a website fast. I had committed to a print media with web address but I had no website. Civano Web Design accepted the job and in two weeks my website was open for business!

Chuck created an easy-to-use website that showcased our portfolio of work beautifully and got it to the top of Google results so my business could be easily found by customers. He took a personal interest in helping my business succeed, acting as a marketing advisor in addition to just designing a website. I would highly recommend Civano Web Design.

Chuck Young at Civano Web Design took our old platform website and updated it. He gave it a face lift with newer modern functionalities complete with drop-down menus, new pictures, and web optimization.

As a bonus, he gave us the tools to make changes on our own and continues to give us technical support. We really appreciated his expertise with our updated site.

Working with Chuck from Civano Web Design has been magnificent. Chuck was able to understand what I wanted for my webpage, the look, feeling and atmosphere of the guesthouse making it inviting for visitors to the site to want to make a reservation. I was very pleased that all of this was able to be accomplished in meetings over the phone and email, though we could have met in person. The convenience and ease of the process was excellent. Chuck also was a great teacher showing me in person how to maintain and update the reservation calendar, he provided great notes and instruction in person which made for fast learning. Thanks for a beautiful finished product!

Chuck Young, the owner of Civano Web Design, has been doing SEO (search engine optimization) for our website since October of 2012. Chuck is very methodical in his approach to researching the competition, adding meta data and editing content. He has given us great advice on how to better organize our content and what additional content needs to be added so that it looks great to the search engines and clients.

Due to his work on our website, our page rankings have greatly improved on all the services we offer and we have seen an increase in traffic and in the number of unique visits to our website. When a new client comes to the office we always ask how they heard of us. More and more we are getting responses such as, "I did an internet search and your website came up." Or "I Googled "Juvederm" and your website came up. " We know Chuck's endeavors are working! An added bonus is that his prices are very reasonable.

In closing, we give Chuck and Civano Website Design our highest recommendation. You will get results and new clients.

It is my pleasure to recommend using Civano Web Design to design and build your website. Chuck is personable, listens carefully, and gives thoughtful advice. He was able to take our existing website template, mid-project, and transform it to meet our needs resulting in a professional and highly functional marketing tool for our company.

He provided detailed website training for myself and my staff following website completion, allowing us to make our own updates and changes as those needs arise. Although our website experience was limited, we walked away from Chuck’s training with an understanding of how much of the website works and how to manipulate the information and graphics to keep it current and up-to-date.

Thank you Chuck for your hard work and dedication to producing a quality product, and for your great customer service.

We have had our business websites for many years. One of us has always worked on it, and tried to be creative... When we bought the Inn at Civano business we decided to have a professional site created for us. What a delightful surprise!

Chuck helped us with suggestions, usage and programs that we could use for advertising our Inn. Plus he created a Google presence for us that we have never had before!
Thank you Chuck for a wonderful experience.

The best compliment I can give Chuck is that I was very happy with the end result of my web site Cactuscove.com. It was a redo for my web site that I had for 14 years. It take a good deal of time . He gave a lot of good recommendations.

He did listen to my concerns as well. So it was a good working relationship. I would guarantee his work to anyone willing to do a new or redo web site. Thank you, Chuck.

I felt like my old website was outdated and didn’t represent the quality of services I provide. Initially, I tried two DIY websites but found them not to be as user friendly as I had hoped for. Additionally, their designs, though serviceable, felt repetitive and sterile.

Chuck created a design that reflected my consulting business and presented it in a way that was fresh, engaging and utilized his unique signature style. He was professional and quite easy to work with, open to collaboration, and made sure I got what I wanted. My website is extremely well organized, structured to mirror my services, provides a storefront for my book, and showcases my photos and videos.

The genuine communication we had throughout the whole process made me feel, not only happy with the website Chuck designed, but with all my interactions with this talented and compassionate person.
