Web Design · Houston, TX
Houston web design for a city without zoning.
Houston doesn't separate homes from businesses by law, so your site can't assume who is visiting. Nearly half the city also speaks a language other than English at home.
The City of Houston's planning department says it plainly: the city does not have zoning. Homes, shops and industrial buildings can share a street. For a service business, that means the same ZIP code sends you a homeowner with a broken air conditioner and a facilities manager with a rooftop unit, and the site has to send each of them the right way within seconds. Two clear front doors, residential and commercial, beat one page that tries to talk to both.
Language is the second design decision. Census figures put 47.1% of Houstonians in homes where a language other than English is spoken. Spanish-language pages, written by a fluent person and built as real pages, reach customers an English-only site never will. Storm season is the third: hours, banners and service notices should be editable in a minute by you, not a ticket to a developer. Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November, and a site that still shows normal hours mid-storm sends customers elsewhere.
On cost, Texas has its own rule worth knowing. The Comptroller treats creating a web page as a data processing service, taxable on 80% of the price. Our packages are fixed by page count, starting at $1,500 for up to ten pages, and most go live in seven to ten days. The pricing page lists every tier, and our HVAC work shows the residential-and-commercial split in practice.

Web Design in Houston: questions we hear.
Is there sales tax on a website in Texas?
Generally, yes. The Comptroller treats website creation as a data processing service, with 20% of the price exempt. Where tax applies, it appears on your invoice. Your accountant should confirm your position.
Should commercial and residential be separate websites?
Usually not. One site with two clear paths keeps your reputation in one place and is cheaper to maintain.
How quickly can a Houston site launch?
Most builds go live in seven to ten days, and work starts within 24 hours of the go-ahead.
