about Motava | digital mktg + websites

Headquartered in the heart of innovation, San Francisco, California.

Motava was founded in 2009 in San Jose, California.

Previously operating as Dalmatech, from 2003 to 2009 the name Motava was created to rebrand our same core team for our newly offered digital marketing services. Dalmatech’s beginnings were in offering tech services and quickly expanded to building digital and web experiences in response to high demand.

In 2009, we rebranded to Motava to include our comprehensive digital and technical services. Since 2003, our core team has been virtually unchanged, forming a cohesive group with years of experience in IT, website creation and digital marketing.

Motava has a worldwide, remote team with headquarters in ~~sunny San Jose~~ foggy San Francisco, CA.
