Our approach

How we work, in three moves.

A beautiful website that can't be found isn't a website. It's a brochure no one reads.

Most Austin service businesses have a website that was built by someone who understands design but not search. The site loads slow, the pages aren't structured for Google, there's no schema, no local signals, and no real plan to rank. Six months later, traffic is flat and the owner is wondering why they paid $8,000 for a digital business card. We build websites the same way we do SEO — with rankings, calls, and local visibility as the goal from day one. Design matters. But design plus search is what actually grows your business.

01

SEOs first, designers second.

Most agencies build you a site and then try to rank it. We build sites that are already structured to rank on launch day. It's a completely different starting point — and it shows in the results.

02

Every site is built to convert.

Pretty doesn't pay the bills. Our sites are built around clear CTAs, fast load times, obvious phone numbers, and the psychology of what makes a local customer pick up the phone.

03

No long-term lock-in.

Your site belongs to you. Full ownership, full access, no proprietary platforms holding your business hostage. If you ever want to leave, you walk away with everything.

What you get

Six deliverables. No line-item padding.

Every engagement produces the same set of things. Your scope is which ones, at what depth — not which new thing we invented for the quote.

D.01
Custom design

No templated cookie-cutter sites. Every build is designed around your business, your services, and the customers you want to attract in Austin. Clean, modern, trust-building.

D.02
Mobile-first responsive

More than 60% of local searches happen on phones. We design for mobile first, then scale up to tablet and desktop — so your site loads fast and looks right on every device your customers actually use.

D.03
On-page SEO baked in

Clean H1s, proper header hierarchy, optimized title tags and meta descriptions, internal linking, image alt text, fast load speeds, and clean URLs. The stuff most web designers skip — that's the stuff that makes you rank.

D.04
Local schema markup

LocalBusiness, Service, and Review schema on every site so Google knows exactly what you do, where you do it, and who you serve. What gets you rich results, star ratings, and stronger Map Pack visibility.

D.05
Copy that ranks and converts

Every page comes with copy written by us — not AI filler or content you're expected to write yourself. We target the exact keywords your Austin customers are searching, then write copy that actually reads like a human.

D.06
Ongoing support

Websites aren't "set it and forget it." We handle hosting, security, updates, backups, and small content changes on a simple monthly plan. When something breaks at 9pm, you call us — not a ticket queue.

The engagement

Three steps, in order.

No surprise scope. Every client runs through the same three steps in the same order — because that's the sequence that compounds.

01

Step 1

Strategy & free quote

Tell us about your business, your service area, and the customers you want to attract. We'll put together a free quote with a recommended scope, timeline, and what we'd prioritize for SEO on day one.

Step 2

Design & build

We handle everything — design, copy, on-page SEO, schema, integrations. You review two rounds of design, approve the copy, and we build. Most sites go live in 2–4 weeks.

Step 3

Launch & rank

We don't just launch and disappear. We submit the site to Google, verify indexing, connect Search Console and Analytics, and keep an eye on how it's ranking. You own the site, you own the results.

  • Search Console
  • Analytics

90
Days to first-page rank

Austin businesses we've built for.

"Our old site was pretty but dead. The new build started ranking for our main service in under 90 days and we've had more inbound calls from Google than we've ever had." Another: "They didn't just build us a site — they built us a system. The site, the SEO, and the Google Business Profile all work together. That's the difference."
