Why a Custom Website?
Builds Instant Trust: 75% of users judge a business’s credibility based on its website design. A custom design looks professional and builds trust; a template can look cheap.
Keeps Customers on Your Page: 94% of a visitor’s first impression is design-related. A good custom design keeps them from leaving in the first few seconds.
Increases Sales with Speed: A 1-second page load delay can cut your conversions by 7%. Template sites are slow and bloated. Our custom sites are fast and built to sell.
Works Perfectly on Mobile: 74% of users are more likely to return to a mobile-friendly site. We build for mobile-first, unlike templates that can break on phones.
The data is clear: your website’s design directly impacts your sales. A cheap template might seem like it saves money, but it can actively cost you customers.
The Hidden Problems of the Low-cost Template Websites
You have two choices: a pre-made template or a branded custom website. A cheap template seems easy, but it creates long-term problems for your Dallas business.
They Are Slow
Templates are full of “bloated code” for features you don’t use. This bloat makes your site slow, which Google penalizes and customers hate.
They Are Insecure
Templates often rely on many third-party plugins. Each plugin is a security risk, giving hackers a “backdoor” to steal data or add spam.
They Break Easily
When a template or plugin updates, it can conflict with another part of your site. This can break your contact form or crash your site for days.
You Don’t Really Own It
On “website builder” platforms, you are just “renting” your site. If you stop paying, your site is gone. A custom build is a permanent asset that you 100% own.
A branded custom website is built to solve all these problems. It is fast, secure, and built only with the code you need.

Checklist: Signs You've Outgrown Your Template
If you’re experiencing these common problems, it’s a clear sign your website is costing you business.
You’re embarrassed to share your website with clients.
Why It Matters: Your website is your digital first impression. If you feel it looks cheap or unprofessional, your customers will feel the same way. This instantly costs you credibility and trust before you’ve even had a chance to speak.
Your website is slow to load.
Why It Matters: A 1-second load delay can cut your sales by 7%. Slow sites frustrate users and are penalized by Google, making you harder to find. Template bloat is a primary cause of this.
Your site looks “broken” or is hard to use on a smartphone.
Why It Matters: 74% of users are more likely to return to a site that is mobile-friendly. If your site is hard to use on a phone, you are losing the majority of your potential customers.
You can’t add a new feature or service you need.
Why It Matters: Your business needs to grow, but a template is a rigid box. You are stuck and can’t adapt. A custom site is built to be flexible, allowing you to add new tools and services as your business expands.
Your competitors’ websites look much more professional than yours.
Why It Matters: In a head-to-head comparison, customers will choose the business that looks more credible. Your website is a key part of your brand, and a professional-looking site will win the trust (and the job) over a generic template.

Your Custom Website Questions, Answered
What's the real difference between a custom site and a template?
One-Sentence Summary Answer: A template is a cheap, pre-built design that many people use, while a custom site is built from scratch 100% for your business.
Expanded Authoritative Answer: A template forces you to fit into a pre-made box. You are limited by its layout, and your site will look like thousands of others. Templates are also slow because they are “bloated” with code you don’t use, which hurts your Google ranking. A custom website is built to be fast, secure, and designed specifically to guide your customers to a sale.
Key Takeaway: A custom site is a professional asset built to get you more sales; a template is a generic “digital brochure.
How much does a custom website cost in Dallas?
One-Sentence Summary Answer: A simple, custom business website in Dallas typically starts around $2,500-$5,000, while larger, more complex sites can be $10,000 or more.
Expanded Authoritative Answer: The price depends on the size and features. A simple 5-10 page informational site will cost less than a large e-commerce site with product catalogs. Be wary of $500 website offers—those are always templates. The price of a true custom build covers the expert design, clean development, and project management hours, which can total 80-100+ hours.
Key Takeaway: We provide a firm, upfront quote after our discovery call so you know the full investment before we begin.
How long does it take to build a custom site?
One-Sentence Summary Answer: On average, a standard custom business website takes about 4 to 10 weeks from our first meeting to the day it launches.
Expanded Authoritative Answer: A simple brochure site might be done in 1-4 weeks, while a complex site can take several months. This timeline includes all phases: Discovery, Design, Development, and Testing. The main factor that can speed up or slow down a project is how quickly we get feedback and content (like text and photos) from you.
Key Takeaway: We manage the project to keep it on schedule and will give you a clear timeline from the start.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
One-Sentence Summary Answer: Yes, we build most sites on a Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress specifically so you can easily make updates.
Expanded Authoritative Answer: After we launch the site, we will give you a training session to show you how to change text, add new blog posts, and upload photos. You will not need to call us for simple changes. It will be as easy as using a simple document editor.
Key Takeaway: We give you the keys to your new site so you are in full control of your content.
Will my new website be mobile-friendly?
One-Sentence Summary Answer: Yes, 100%—every website we build is designed to work perfectly on all devices, including phones and tablets.
Expanded Authoritative Answer: This is called “responsive design,” and it’s not optional anymore. We design for “mobile-first,” meaning we make sure it’s perfect on a phone and then adjust the design for larger screens. This is critical, as many template sites can “break” or look bad on mobile, driving away customers.
Key Takeaway: Your new site will look professional and be easy to use for every visitor, no matter what device they are on.
Do you help with SEO (getting found on Google)?
One-Sentence Summary Answer: Yes, we build every site with a strong technical SEO foundation, which is a key benefit of custom design.
Expanded Authoritative Answer: Unlike bloated templates, our custom sites are built with clean code, which makes them very fast. We also build them with a logical structure and all the right tags. This “on-site” SEO helps Google find and rank your pages. We also offer separate monthly SEO plans for Dallas businesses who want to actively rank higher than their competitors.
Key Takeaway: Your new site will be built correctly from day one, ready for Google to find and rank it.
What do you need from me to get started?
One-Sentence Summary Answer: To start, we just need your time for a “Discovery” call to learn about your business and your goals.
Expanded Authoritative Answer: During our first call, we will ask about your target audience, your competitors, and what you want your website to do for you. After that, you will need to provide your logo, any brand colors, and the text (copy) and photos for the site. If you don’t have professional text or photos, we can help with that, too.
Key Takeaway: The project starts with a simple conversation about your business goals.
Will I own my website once it's built?
One-Sentence Summary Answer: Yes, absolutely—you will have 100% ownership of your website, its code, and its content.
Expanded Authoritative Answer: This is one of the most important differences between custom and a template. When you use a “website builder,” you are “renting” your site on their platform. You can’t move it, and you lose everything if you stop paying. With us, you own your site completely. It is a real business asset.
Key Takeaway: You are paying for a permanent business asset, and we make sure you have full ownership of it.
I already have a website. Can you redesign it?
One-Sentence Summary Answer: Yes, we redesign old websites all the time.
Expanded Authoritative Answer: We can take your old site, analyze what’s working and what’s not, and build a new custom site to replace it. This is a great way to keep your existing web address and domain authority while getting a modern, faster, and more effective website.
Key Takeaway: We can replace your outdated site with a new one that will start getting you more leads.
Do you offer support after the site is launched?
One-Sentence Summary Answer: Yes, we offer ongoing website “Care Plans” to handle all your security, updates, and maintenance.
Expanded Authoritative Answer: A website is like a car; it needs regular check-ups to stay secure and run well. Our optional Care Plans include security monitoring, software updates, and daily backups. This gives you peace of mind that your investment is safe and running perfectly.
Key Takeaway: We partner with you for the long term to make sure your website stays a secure and effective tool.
