McKinney, TX web design has two different customers in one city. There is the historic downtown square, where more than a hundred independent boutiques, antique dealers, galleries and restaurants trade on character. And there is the rest of McKinney, the fast-growing suburbs along US 75, SH 121 and US 380, full of plumbers, dentists, daycares and landscapers serving families who moved in recently. Both need a website that a stranger can read in seconds and act on.
Dominion Web Design Pro builds those sites from East Texas. Maurice Johnson writes each page by hand, you see a free demo before you spend anything, and the prices are one time: $497, $997 or $1,997.
Downtown McKinney: a square that still does what it was planned to do
McKinney was founded in 1848 as the seat of Collin County, about 30 miles north of Dallas, and the courthouse square sat at the center of the original town plan. Like many Texas downtowns it slumped when new highways drew traffic away, then came back. McKinney has been part of the Texas Historical Commission's Texas Main Street Program since 2003, a program built on the Main Street approach that grew out of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the shops on the square are mostly locally owned.
A few blocks away, Chestnut Square Historic Village is home to the McKinney Farmers Market and offers tours that include the 1854 Faires House, the oldest home in McKinney. Those draws bring people downtown who have never been before. They search on a phone for lunch, a gift shop or a place that is open past five, and they choose from what loads.
What a shop on the square needs online
- Current hours, including special event hours, on the home page.
- What you actually sell, with photos, so a visitor knows whether to walk over.
- Where to park and how to find you from the courthouse.
- A tap-to-call number and a map at the top, not buried in the footer.
The other McKinney: master-planned neighborhoods and the trades that serve them
Drive west from the square and the city changes character. Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch and the newer subdivisions north toward US 380 are full of families who need the same things every week: lawn care, pest control, pool and patio work, house cleaning, tutoring, pediatric care, auto repair. Many of those businesses are run by one or two people out of a truck or a home office, and most of their new customers arrive by search, not by a sign.
For a service company here, the website has a narrower job than a shop's. It needs to say exactly which services you do, which neighborhoods and nearby towns you drive to, and how fast someone can reach you. A homeowner in Craig Ranch comparing three fence companies on a phone will call the one whose page answers "do you come out here, and what do you do" without scrolling. Photos of real jobs in real North Texas yards help more than any slogan.
The same homeowner checks reviews. On the Pro package your Google reviews show on the site itself, so a satisfied customer in Stonebridge does some of the selling for the next one.
An airport terminal on the way
McKinney National Airport has served private aircraft for years. In July 2025 the city broke ground on a passenger terminal of about 46,000 square feet with four gates, expandable to six, and a 980-space parking lot. Avelo Airlines signed on as the first commercial carrier in December 2025, and in September 2026 the city said the terminal was on schedule to open on November 11, 2026. Avelo has announced nonstop flights to Las Vegas and four Florida cities, with Atlanta, Denver, Nashville and New Orleans planned from mid-December.
Once scheduled flights begin, they bring visitors who land with no idea what is in town and a phone in their hand. That rewards the businesses that are easy to find: hotels and restaurants first, then car services, salons, florists and anyone a traveler might need on short notice. It also brings new businesses competing for the same searches. Either way, being findable in McKinney matters more each year, not less.
Questions to ask any McKinney web designer, including us
In a market where money moves fast, the difference between a fair deal and a bad one is rarely the headline price. It is what the price includes and what happens after launch. Each of these takes a minute.
- If I stop paying you, what do I keep?Some arrangements answer "nothing," because the site lives on the company's platform and the domain sits in its account. Ours answers "everything": the domain is in your name and the files are yours.
- What is my total in year one and year two?A $6,000 build with $300 a month in care costs $9,600 the first year and $3,600 the second. Get both numbers in writing before comparing anyone.
- Who writes the words?Many quotes leave copy out, and the project stalls for months while the owner tries to write an about page at night. On our builds Maurice writes every page.
- Can I see it before I pay?A deposit-first process asks you to trust a promise. Our free demo lets you judge real pages first.
Four reasons a McKinney business would hire Dominion Web Design Pro
Character comes through in hand-written pages. A shop on the square sells a feeling as much as a product. Template copy flattens that; pages written about your shop keep it.
Suburban service companies get real city pages. If you work McKinney, Allen, Prosper, Melissa and Princeton, the Pro package gives you ten city pages, each researched separately.
The cost is printed and paid once. No proposal meeting is needed to learn the price, and there is no build-then-retainer trap.
You can reach the builder. The phone line's AI receptionist answers any hour and transfers you to Maurice when you ask for him, and he is the one who built your site.

We do not sell page counts. Every page on every plan is researched and written by hand for your business and your town. That is slower than generating a few hundred pages from a template, and it is the reason these pages get read. If the research says your service area needs thirty pages, you get thirty good ones rather than a hundred thin ones.
Straight answer on location: Dominion Web Design Pro has no office in McKinney. Maurice Johnson builds every site from Big Sandy in East Texas and delivers it remotely, by link, phone and email.
We say that plainly because some web companies rent an address to look local. Your site is built in Big Sandy, East Texas, and every draft reaches you by link so you can check it on the same phone your customers use.
