We build your website first. You look at it on your own business, with your own photos and words, and decide after that. From $497 one time, and the site is yours to keep.
See a demo built for your business Call 903-636-7511Dominion Web Design Pro is in East Texas, about two hundred miles up the road. We are saying that first because it is true and because it changes nothing about the work.
A website is not poured concrete. Nobody has to be standing in your city to build one, and a company that leans hard on being local is usually selling you the office rather than the site. The file that ends up on your domain does not know or care where it was written.
What a good website actually needs is two things: somebody who knows how to build one, and somebody who knows the business. We bring the first. You bring the second — you understand your customers better than any agency on Congress Avenue does, and no amount of proximity would change that. Our intake is mostly us asking you questions, which is how it should be wherever the designer sits.
What is left is price, ownership, and whether you get to see the thing before you pay for it. That is what the rest of this page is about, and those are the grounds we would like to be judged on.
Here is a number worth understanding. Advertisers bidding on the phrase "web design austin tx" are paying around $26 for a single click — not a customer, a click. Compare that with roughly $6.75 in Tyler and $22 in Longview. The Austin figure is what it costs an agency simply to put its name in front of you once, before anybody has spoken to anyone.
That cost does not vanish. It is in the price of every website sold in this city, along with the office, the account manager and the sales team. None of that makes the finished site load faster or rank better. It is the cost of doing business in a market where acquiring a customer is expensive.
Our price is $497 one time for a five page website, $997 for ten pages plus ten city pages, and $1,997 for an unlimited build. Hosting and maintenance afterwards are $49 a month with no minimum term. That is not a discount or an introductory rate — it is what the work costs when the overhead is not there.
Ask any web company one question before you sign: if I stop paying you, what do I keep? A surprising number of arrangements in this market answer that with "nothing." The site sits on the agency's platform, the domain is registered in their account, and the whole thing disappears the month you stop.
Every site we build belongs to the client. The domain is registered in your name. The files are yours. If you decide in a year that you would rather have a local agency run it, you take the site with you and we help with the handover. That is not generosity, it is just what buying something should mean.
It also changes the incentive. A company that owns your website has a reason to keep you dependent. A company that sold you a website has to earn the next thing on merit.
This is the part that usually settles it, and it is the only real answer to the distance problem. You do not have to trust us about any of the above. Tell us what your business does, send whatever photos you have, and we will build the site. Then you look at it — your services, your hours, your own words tightened rather than replaced — and decide afterwards.
If you do not want it, that is the end of it and you have paid nothing. No deposit, no discovery fee, no contract to get out of. Two hundred miles stops being a risk when there is nothing at stake until you have seen the work.
Worth being straight about the conditions you are trading in, because it changes what a website is for. Austin's own economic development roadmap describes a tech sector that has cooled — layoffs and hiring freezes at the big employers have slowed the influx of high-earning professionals that drove the population surge. It also names what it calls the suburban siphon: people are not leaving Central Texas, they are leaving Austin proper for Georgetown, Kyle and Leander, where the money goes further on a house.
For a small business inside the city that means two things at once. Your local customer base is shifting outward, and the people who remain are being marketed to by everybody. At the same time a Comerica survey of around a thousand small-business owners found that nearly 80% of Texas owners expect sales growth this year and about 70% are planning capital investment. Confidence is there; it is competition for attention that has tightened.
A website does not fix a market. What it does is make sure that when somebody has already decided they want what you sell and types it into a phone, you are one of the results. In a city this crowded that is worth more, not less.
Independent of anything to do with us, and worth knowing. Austin Economic Development runs a Small Business Division offering low-cost and no-cost training, one-on-one coaching and funding access through SmallBizAustin.org, with courses at their facility on East Ben White Boulevard. They run Small Business Fundamentals Week in January — free training on marketing, bookkeeping, HR and AI tools — Austin Small Business Week in May, and a Small Business Connections Conference at the Palmer Events Center in August.
The city is also a designated Kiva Hub, which is a route to loan assistance that a lot of owners have never heard of. We have no arrangement with any of it and get nothing from mentioning it. It is simply free, it is there, and most people we talk to do not know about it.
A five page site covers what most local businesses actually need: a home page that says what you do and where, a services page or a page per service, an about page with real photographs of real people, a contact page that works on a phone, and whatever proof you have — jobs, reviews, credentials.
What we would tell you not to buy, at least at first: a two hundred page city-page build. We know, because we did exactly that on our own sites and published what happened. One of ours has 348 generated city pages and Google indexed two of them. If somebody quotes you a site with hundreds of location pages included, ask how many are indexed on the last site they built.
And one thing we do not do, said plainly so nobody finds out late: if what you want is a full brand program — workshops with your team, a positioning exercise, somebody in the room for weeks — that is not this. There are Austin firms who do it properly and charge accordingly. We build websites.
Search setup is included in every build — proper page titles, service and location pages where they are justified, schema markup, fast mobile loading and Search Console. It is not an upsell and it is not magic. Nobody can promise you a position or a date, and anyone who does is guessing with your money.
One-time prices, not subscriptions. Hosting and maintenance afterwards are $49 a month with no minimum term, and you can leave whenever you like.
If you want the AI agent that answers your phone when you cannot, it is free for fourteen days and then $297 a month with hosting, maintenance and updates included — you would not pay the $49 as well. Recurring services carry a three-month minimum that begins after the free trial, and paying a year up front costs ten months instead of twelve. No setup fee on any of it.
For building a website, no. The work is the same from here as it would be from a desk on South Lamar, and you get it for a fraction of what that desk costs to run. Where it would matter is a full brand program with people in the room for weeks — that is not what we do, and we would tell you so on the first call.
Phone, email and a link. You send what you have, we build it, you look at it and tell us what is wrong. Most of our clients never needed a meeting, and the ones who wanted a video call got one.
We do not know your market the way you do, and we will not pretend to. What we bring is knowing how to build a site that gets found. You bring the trade knowledge. The intake conversation is mostly us asking questions, not telling you about Austin.
No, and neither can anyone in Austin. "Web design austin tx" scores 41 out of 100 for difficulty, which means the first page is genuinely contested. What a well-built site does is make you eligible and give you a foundation to build on. Where you land depends on your reviews, your links and your patience.
You have our phone number and it is answered. If something breaks, it gets fixed. If you want out, you take your site and your domain with you.
