From a team that works here too

Houston web design, branding, and AI SEO

We design websites, build brands, and handle local search for Houston businesses, all from one team. We work across greater Houston, inside the loop and well past it.

The problem

You’re not on the list

You search your company’s keywords:

my awesome service houston

…and dozens of options come back in Google Search, Google AIO, and ChatGPT. Your business might not be on the list or even worse, might show up, but with inconsistent data.

Potential clients search and decide in seconds. They search from their phones, before they call anyone. You don’t need to be the biggest name on that screen to win the moment. You need to be the most optimized.

That’s what we build for. We scale your business presence on Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Claude, and many more platforms.

What we build for our Houston neighbors

A brand strategy that holds up at every size

Logo and identity work that stays legible from browser tab up to billboards, and holds up as you grow. The same marks, everywhere, until people know them by heart.

Websites built for the work you want

A full build, from strategy to launch, shaped around how you and your business operates. Build your buyer’s confidence and excitement before they even reach out to you.

Ranking across your service area

Citation listings (directory sites), on-page data structures, and technical groundwork that puts your business in your prospect’s local search results.

Visibility in AI-generated answers

ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity answer local questions by pulling from Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Bing. We build the structured data that puts your business in those answers.

What that looks like once it ships

Monarch Patio and Outdoors homepage hero, "Outdoor Spaces Built for How You Actually Live" over a covered patio with a pergola

Monarch Patio and Outdoors

Monarch works across Katy, Cypress, Sugar Land, Spring, Tomball, and The Woodlands, selling seven services to homeowners who have learned to be skeptical of contractors. One brand had to carry all of that and still sound local.

So we built the brand and a modular site that hold together service by service, from patios and pergolas to outdoor kitchens, hardscaping, fire features, and lighting. Fixed prices, owner-led crews, and a process a homeowner can follow, in the same words each time.

A homeowner who meets Monarch on a service page, on a truck, or on a job site two streets over meets the same company, making the same promises.

Read Use Case

Motion Giraffx

Monarch started from a blank page. Motion Giraffx came to us mid-crisis instead. They pitch energy and manufacturing clients, and their site kept failing right in front of them.

An animation studio can’t have videos that won’t load. We rebuilt on Astro, added a searchable portfolio (filter by industry or service), and wired the data structures that put them in Google, Bing, ChatGPT, and Perplexity results.

The same site that used to sabotage pitches is now part of how the studio closes them.

Read Use Case

Atlas Pub

Motion Giraffx needed a rebuild. Atlas Pub needed a face. They sit on Washington Avenue, where bars line up block after block and regulars are the whole business.

Neon and vintage beer clip art wouldn’t cut it. We drew a mascot instead, a beer mug with a hop cone base and a face built into the foam (clean geometry, no cartoon). It reads on a sign at night and on a coaster in your hand.

One mascot now carries the bar across signage, coasters, and merchandise. It’s memorable enough to stick and clean enough to skip the gimmick.

Some of our recent service areas

Monarch’s job sites alone carried our work across the northwest suburbs, and that’s one client. We cover all of greater Houston the same way. Find your area below, or tell us where you are and we’ll tell you what that market rewards.

Conroe

We build brands, websites, and local search for Conroe businesses. The solar company on this page is the proof.

The Woodlands

The Woodlands tucks its storefronts behind trees and modest signs, so customers search before they visit. What they find is what we build.

What a Houston project costs

Our sites are priced by page layout rather than by page count. A layout is a page design your business reuses wherever it fits. For example: Four layouts might cover four pages or ten.*

The one-pager Webflow starter kit

One layout, fixed price, the only flat number on this list.

$1,500

Four page layouts on Webflow

Webflow is a visual builder, so your team can edit pages and publish changes without a developer.

from $4,200

Four page layouts as a custom Astro build

The same four layouts, written directly in code. It takes more hours to build, and the pages load faster and can connect to software a visual builder cannot reach.

from $6,200

Shopify store

Product setup, checkout, and payment processing included.

from $8,800

Brand identity, logo included

Logo, color system, and typography, ready to use on your site and everywhere else.

from $3,800

Local SEO, AI SEO, Gen AI Optimization

Ongoing work on your directory listings, your page data structures, and the technical groundwork that holds a ranking once you have it on Google SERP and Gen AI platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude).

from $1,500/month

* Every price above includes design, development, and copy for the listed layout count. Many additional pages beyond what is listed may affect the cost, so it’s best to reach out to us for details.

Also, for photos and video, you can supply your own, use a studio we partner with, or go with licensed stock.

How it starts

Wherever you are on that map, the first three steps are the same.

Day one

Start with a free call

Tell us what you sell, who buys it, and what’s missing from your current site or brand. We read what you send, and we’ll come back with questions built around it.

Within the week

A free discovery consult

We go deeper on your market, who you’re losing work to, and where your site or brand falls short. You’ll leave the call with a spoken recommendation on what to build first.

Days after the consult

You get a proposal

We’ll put the scope, the cost for that scope, and a ship date in writing. Work starts once you sign, and not before.

What Houston business owners ask before they call

How much does it cost to hire someone to design your website?

The prices above are starting points for a defined scope, like a set number of page layouts, a standard brand system, or a base Shopify setup.

More layouts, custom features, or ecommerce complexity move the number up from there. Whatever changes, we’ll put the difference in writing before anything is signed.

Why are web design, branding, and SEO covered as if all are required?

Because most Houston businesses that need one of these actually need at least two.

A new website without a matching brand looks unfinished, and a rebrand without local search visibility never gets found by the customers it was built for.

We treat web design, brand, and SEO as one project with one team, instead of three separate hires who never compare notes.

What makes a Houston-based team different from an agency that outsources?

We handle design, development, and strategy with our own local team, instead of a subcontracted crew in another time zone.

That means the person who scopes your project is the same one who builds it, and changes don’t wait on an overseas handoff.

Most of my customers already find me through referrals. Do I still need a website?

Referrals get you the call, but the person on the other end still looks you up before they commit. A slow or dated site undoes the trust the referral just built.

Google Business Profile helps you get found. It doesn’t do the job of proving you’re the right choice once someone actually looks.

Do you only work with businesses inside the Houston city limits?

No. We build for businesses across the greater Houston area. The city limits aren’t a boundary we use.

The build runs the same wherever you sit. Discovery calls, design reviews, and launch happen on a schedule, and the schedule doesn’t care about the drive.

Start with where you are and what you sell, and we’ll figure out the right site, brand, or SEO plan for that market.
