Web design for Texas small businesses

NewLife Studios is a small web design studio that builds websites for small businesses across Texas. Everything happens online, so you do not need to be near us and we do not need a visit to get started: you tell us about your business, we send a fixed price, and you watch the site take shape in a private preview.

How we work with Texas businesses, remotely

Texas is a big state. A plumber in one part of it and a bakery in another may be hundreds of miles apart, and neither needs a designer down the road. They need someone who listens, explains plainly and delivers on the date they agreed. That is why the whole process is built to work from a distance.

You send a quote request describing the business, the pages you think you need and any sites you like. You get a written quote within two days. After you approve it, you review a private preview, ask for changes, and when you are happy the site is launched on your domain and handed over. Messages are by email, with calls only if you want them.

The service is for real, local businesses: contractors and home services, restaurants and cafés, salons and barbers, medical and dental offices, nonprofits and churches, and similar. We are a service-area business with no storefront, so there is no office to visit and no address to publish.

What affects how long it takes

A one-page site usually takes about a week and a multi-page business site about two weeks from go-ahead. Your quote gives the exact date. The things that change that most are:

Your content. Having text, photos and a logo ready is the biggest factor. Our website project checklist lists what to prepare.
How fast you review. If feedback comes back in a day or two, the timeline holds. If it takes two weeks, so does the project.
The number of pages and features. A booking form, a gallery or an online menu adds work. Stores and web apps depend on what they need to do.
Domain and account access. Domain registrar logins, existing hosting and Google Business Profile access can take time to find.
Legal or industry wording. Some trades and professions have to include specific notices. Tell us early.

What affects the price

There is no price list. Every project is quoted on what it needs, mainly the number of pages, whether you need booking, a store, a members area or an editor, how much content and photography you supply and whether you want hosting and care. You get a fixed price in writing before anything starts, and it only changes if you add to the project. Asking costs nothing.

Websites for the kinds of businesses we work with

Different businesses need different sections. These pages go through what each type of site needs, what to include and the mistakes to avoid.

What is included in a website project

Every website is custom designed for the business and hand-coded rather than assembled from a template. The quote lists exactly what is in your project. Typical inclusions are below.

Custom design, mobile first

A look built around your business and your customers, designed for phones first and checked on larger screens.

→

The pages you need

Home, services, about, contact and any others in your quote, with a layout that makes your main action easy to take.

→

Search basics

Page titles, descriptions, headings in order, structured data, a sitemap and a fast mobile layout, so search engines can read the site. See the local SEO checklist for the parts you do yourself.

→

Contact and booking

Forms that land in your inbox, tap-to-call and links to the booking or ordering tool you use.

→

Private preview and revisions

A private link that updates as the site is built, with two rounds of changes included.

→

Handover and Sprout

You get every login, and the site can be edited by you in Sprout, our own editor. No code needed.

→

Optional hosting and care

The Care plan covers hosting, SSL, daily backups, updates and small edits for a monthly fee in your quote, or we can deploy to a host you already use.

→

The process, from quote to editing it yourself

A fixed price before anything starts, and one person from the first message to handover.

Step 1

Quote

Describe the project in the quote form. Within two days you receive a written, fixed-price quote with what is included and when it will be ready.

Step 2

Design

Once you approve the quote we design and build the site in Sprout, using your words, logo and photos, and call out anything missing.

Step 3

Review

You get a private preview, signed in, and send your changes. Two rounds of revisions are included.

Step 4

Handover

When you are happy, you pay the final balance, the site goes live on your domain and you receive every login.

Step 5

You edit with Sprout

Change text, photos, prices and hours yourself, any time, without code. Or hand edits to the Care plan.

Questions

Something else? Email torevyn@newlifehost.com.

Do you only work with businesses in Texas?

Texas is the focus, but everything is done online, so I also take on small businesses elsewhere in the United States.

Do we need to meet in person?

No. The whole project runs online: a quote form, email, a private preview and a handover. A call is available if you prefer one, but it is never required.

Can you build a site for a business with no storefront?

Yes. Many clients are service-area businesses. The site describes where you work, instead of publishing an address.

What do I need to provide?

Your logo, the words you want on each page and any photos you have. If something is missing, say so in the request and we will work out how to fill the gap. The checklist guide goes through it.

Will my website show up on Google?

It will be built so search engines can read it, with fast pages, structured data and a sitemap. Where you rank depends on competition, your Google Business Profile, reviews and the quality of your content, and no one can promise a position. See the local SEO checklist for what to do yourself.

Who owns the website?

You do, once it is paid for: the design, the code, the content and the domain. You receive every login at handover.

Can I change the site myself afterwards?

Yes. Every site is made in Sprout, and after handover you can edit text, photos, pages, colours and fonts yourself without writing code.

How do I start?

Send a quote request. It takes about two minutes, it is free, and you will hear back with a fixed price within two days.
