Two Good Agencies.
Different in the Right Ways.
WebSpeak Media is a Greenville-area web design and digital marketing agency founded in 2002. With over 20 years operating in the Upstate SC market, they offer website design, SEO, digital strategy, and ongoing website management. Their longevity and local client base make them a well-established regional option.
This comparison exists to help you decide. We'll tell you what they do well, where we differ, and which option is likely the better fit for your situation. We'd rather you make the right choice — even if that's not us.
What They Offer
Founded 2002 in Greenville
WebSpeak has been operating in the Greenville area since 2002. They offer web design, SEO, and digital strategy with an emphasis on ongoing site management relationships.
Where Sidestreet Is Different
Full production capability — video and photography
WebSpeak Media focuses on web design and digital strategy. Sidestreet adds broadcast-trained video production, commercial photography, drone aerial, and the full production infrastructure that comes from 15+ years of media work. For businesses that need visual assets alongside their digital presence, working with Sidestreet means one team handles everything.
PR and crisis communications
WebSpeak does not offer PR or earned media services. Sidestreet's communications practice — media relations, crisis preparedness, spokesperson training, community messaging — extends what a full-service marketing partner can do for businesses facing public scrutiny or wanting to build media presence. That's a different service category, and one that's meaningfully rare in a regional agency.
Spartanburg-based with equal market depth
Both agencies serve the full Upstate SC market. Sidestreet is headquartered in Downtown Spartanburg, giving Spartanburg-based businesses a more proximate partner. WebSpeak is Greenville-based. For the Spartanburg market specifically, Sidestreet's community ties and downtown presence are a practical advantage.
Church media as a full practice
Sidestreet operates a dedicated church media practice — live streaming, AV infrastructure, worship technology, social media, and production for faith communities. WebSpeak doesn't specialize in the faith sector. For churches and faith-based organizations in Upstate SC, Sidestreet is the purpose-built choice.
How to Decide
WebSpeak Media is probably the right choice if: you primarily need web design and ongoing site maintenance from a Greenville-based agency and don't have production or PR requirements.
Sidestreet is probably the right choice if: you need marketing and production from one team, are based in Spartanburg, want PR or crisis communications capability, or serve a faith community that needs purpose-built media support.
If you're genuinely unsure, talk to both of us before committing. Any agency worth working with will give you a straight answer about whether they're the right fit — and so will we.
