Austin, TX

Web design in Austin for the businesses that aren't getting acquired.

Built for Austin food trucks, makers, indie consultants, and restaurants in places that aren't on Rainey Street — designed for actual local revenue, not for raising a seed round.

01Austin context

Austin tech doesn't run Austin small business.

The Austin web-design conversation is dominated by SaaS and series-A startups, but the actual local economy is a barbecue trailer in East Austin, a fitness studio off South Lamar, a tax preparer in Cedar Park, and a Tex-Mex spot whose abuela's recipe predates the city's tech boom by forty years. The websites those businesses need have nothing in common with what Austin tech agencies build.

An Austin agency proposal for a small business runs $7 000–$30 000 with a maintenance retainer; a DIY Wix afternoon costs nothing in cash and several months of evenings. Both miss the brief — the food truck owner needs a menu page that updates by text message, not a JAMstack rebuild quoted in story points.

We design for the Austin businesses outside the tech bubble. One monthly USD fee covers a real designed site, hosting, the domain, ongoing updates by email, and the kind of local SEO that gets a Tex-Mex spot found on 'best brisket South Lamar' at 12:14pm on a Tuesday.

02Austin businesses we typically build for

Three patterns we see often in Austin.

Food trucks & trailers

Menu pages that update by text in 30 seconds

A current menu, today's location, opening hours that respect SXSW and ACL closures, and a contact route that doesn't require a fifty-message Instagram DM thread. Built for trailers that have to update once an afternoon and once at 2am.

Indie consultants & studios

Consultant sites that don't read like a ProductHunt launch

A grown-up positioning page, real case studies, a contact route that produces a paid-discovery call, and zero VC-style hyperbole. Designed for consultants whose customers are CFOs in Round Rock, not CTOs in Mountain View.

Restaurants & retail

Tex-Mex, taquerías, and neighbourhood retail

Menu pages, opening hours linked to neighbourhood holidays, structured data for Google's restaurant snippet, and a reservation or order route — handling sales tax correctly for the City of Austin and Travis County.

04Austin questions

What Austin owners ask before signing up.

Can the site handle the City of Austin's hotel/sales tax setup correctly?
Yes. We configure sales tax at the city + county level for Austin / Travis County out of the box. If you're a hotel or short-term rental, we wire HOT (hotel occupancy tax) into the checkout — send us the rate during the brief.
Do you handle SXSW / ACL closures and pop-up locations on the food truck site?
Yes. The menu / location page updates by email or SMS — most food-truck owners send 'closed for SXSW Wed–Sat, popping up at Mueller Sat 2pm' as one message and we push it live. No CMS to log into.
Will my site work for customers who speak Spanish as a first language?
Yes. Growth+ supports up to 3 languages on the same site; Commerce supports up to 10. EN/ES is the most common Austin pair — written by a Spanish copywriter, not Google-Translate.
Is this just a Wix-type website builder under the hood?
No. The site is custom-designed by a human. Wix and Squarespace are tools you operate yourself; we run the whole thing — design, hosting, updates — for one monthly fee.
