About

I am César. I build websites one at a time.

I am not an agency with twenty open projects. I am one person in Houston who designs and builds your business website, and who picks up the phone when you call.

Why I started CY Studio

I keep seeing the same pattern among small businesses in Houston: people who do excellent work, with happy customers and solid word of mouth, and an online presence that does not do them justice. A half-finished Facebook page, photos from four years ago, and no way for someone searching Google to find them.

And when they ask an agency for a quote, they hit the same wall: prices published nowhere, a salesperson promising things, and then a different team delivering something else. Or the opposite extreme — someone very cheap who hands over a generic template that takes eight seconds to load.

CY Studio exists for the gap in between. I work directly with the business owner, I publish my prices, and I deliver hand-built websites that load fast and are designed to be found. One at a time, done properly.

Let me be honest about the trade-off, because you would rather know now: being one person, I cannot run ten projects at once. If you need volume immediately, an agency will serve you better. If what you want is someone genuinely invested in your project, then I am the right call.

How I work

Four things you can count on.

I say what I think, even when it sells less

If what you need is a $650 landing page rather than a $2,000 website, I will tell you. If I think your budget is better spent fixing your Google Business Profile before touching the website, I will say that too. I would rather have a client who comes back than a big sale I should not have made.

I write the code by hand

I do not assemble websites by dragging blocks around in a builder. That is why they load faster, look exactly like I designed them, and are easier for Google to understand. This very website is built that way — you can measure it.

I answer

Sounds like a low bar until you have worked with someone who vanishes halfway through a project. I reply within 24 hours, and if something is going to take longer than planned I tell you before you have to ask.

The project is yours, not mine

Domain in your name, code yours, access yours. If you ever want to leave, I hand everything over without an argument. I work to keep you because you want to stay, not because you cannot get out.

What I work with

Tools, not shortcuts.

None of this needs to mean anything to you — the result is what matters. But if you are curious what your site is built with, here it is.
