Web design in Austin that gets you more calls.
GatorByte designs custom websites for Austin small businesses, from South Congress shops and East Austin restaurants to the contractors building out the suburbs. We work from Mandeville, Louisiana, over video calls and shared previews, so you talk directly with the two people building your site.

What a Austin website has to do.
Austin is the state capital and home to the University of Texas, and a large tech sector has grown up alongside government and the university. That growth keeps new neighborhoods, new restaurants, and a steady stream of service businesses opening across the metro.
Austin customers are online-savvy and quick to judge a slow or dated website, and they are comparing you against well-funded competitors with marketing teams. A small business wins here with a fast, clean site that says plainly what you do and where, real photos instead of stock, and pages for the parts of town you actually serve, whether that is Mueller, Hyde Park, or out past Loop 360.

Questions
Web design in Austin: common questions.
How much does a website cost in Austin?
Our websites are $1,000 to launch plus $100/month for managed hosting, maintenance, and small updates, the same in Austin as on the Northshore. That covers a custom 1-3 page site with a contact form and click-to-call. Extra pages, photography, and logo design are quoted up front.
Do you work with businesses in Austin if you are based in Louisiana?
Yes. GatorByte is based in Mandeville, Louisiana, and we work with Austin businesses remotely: video calls, shared previews of the site as it is built, and a direct line to the people building it. There is no account manager in between.
Will my Austin business show up on Google?
Every build includes local SEO foundations: fast prerendered pages, structured data, and help setting up or optimizing your Google Business Profile. If you serve Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Pflugerville, we can add service-area pages for those towns as an add-on. We do not promise rankings, and anyone who does is guessing.
Can a small Austin business really stand out against tech-funded competitors?
Often, yes. Big budgets tend to buy heavy sites with lots of scripts. A lean, prerendered site that loads instantly on a phone, answers the obvious questions, and makes calling you easy is a real advantage, and it costs a fraction of what an agency in town would charge.
Do you build sites for food trucks and pop-ups in Austin?
Yes. For food trucks and pop-ups the most important thing is showing where you are this week and what is on the menu, so we build a page you can update quickly, plus links to the ordering and social accounts you already use.
