Less than an hour north of San Francisco, Cotati is centrally located within\u00a0Sonoma County<\/a>\u00a0and is just a short drive to many local wineries. The downtown plaza is a historical landmark, as only one of two towns designed in a hexagonal pattern.<\/p>\n

The town flourished with \u2018flower power\u2019 in the turbulent \u201860s as \u201cCotati counterculture\u201d took the town by storm, transforming the town into a hippie hotspot, with iconic bands from the era, such as the\u00a0Grateful Dead<\/em>, dropping in to perform.<\/p>\n

Although the influence of the counterculture has mellowed somewhat, it continues to be home to a number of popular caf\u00e9s and nightspots, as a number of events and festivals including the renowned\u00a0Cotati Accordion Festival<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Today,\u00a0Cotati serves as the \u2018inspirational home\u2019 to Blairworks<\/strong>. Originally founded as\u00a0Pacific Web<\/a> in downtown Cotati in 1996, Blairworks has been an active developer of the local Internet community, including the development of websites for the City of Cotati<\/a>, the\u00a0Cotati Chamber of Commerce<\/a>, and the\u00a0Cotati Jazz Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For many years, the Pacific Web office was located on the edge of Cotati\u2019s famous downtown hub. In the early 2000\u2019s, we began to take advantage of new capabilities the Internet offered by transforming our development infrastructure into something that was decentralized and remotely accessible. This has enabled us to work more robustly with web specialists, regardless of their geographical location. In 2004, the building we had occupied was sold to an owner that intended to occupy the property and we took the opportunity to complete the decentralization of our systems \u2014 going completely \u2018virtual\u2019.<\/p>\n

While we no longer have an office in Cotati, we often suggest the\u00a0Redwood Cafe<\/a>\u00a0in Cotati as a location for casual meetings with clients, as it is an excellent caf\u00e9 with healthy food, nice tables and wireless Internet. You\u2019ll also find\u00a0Mark Blair<\/a>\u00a0working there upon occasion, tunneling into the Blairworks network over a hot cup of coffee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
