Everything you usually want to know.
I collected the ten questions that come in most often by WhatsApp and email. Straight answers, including the awkward ones.
How much does a website cost in Houston?
Projects start at $650 USD as a one-time payment, and the final price depends on scope: a one-section landing page is not the same as a multi-page corporate site or an online store. That price covers design, development and launch. After that, you choose whether you want a monthly maintenance plan (from $120/month) or prefer to manage it yourself.
How long does it take to build my website?
A landing page usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. A full corporate website, 2 to 4 weeks. An online store, 4 to 6 weeks. The real timeline depends on one thing: how quickly you send me your text, photos and feedback on revisions. Clients who reply fast get their site early.
Do I need a website if I already have Instagram and Facebook?
Yes, for a practical reason: social media accounts are not yours. You do not control reach, you do not control the algorithm, and if your account gets suspended tomorrow you lose your entire connection to your customers. Your website is yours. On top of that, when someone searches Google for your type of business, an Instagram profile rarely shows up — a well-built website does. The right move is both: social brings people in, the website closes them.
Will the website work properly on mobile?
Yes, and it is the priority, not an add-on. Over 70% of visits to local business websites come from a phone, so I design for the small screen first and adapt to desktop after. Every site I deliver is tested on a real phone before it goes live.
Who owns the website?
You do, always. The domain is registered in your name and the site is yours from day one. If you ever decide to leave or manage it yourself, I hand everything over and there is no penalty. I do not do rental websites that you lose when you stop paying.
Do you work with businesses outside Houston?
Yes. I am based in Houston and know the local market well, so there I have the advantage of being able to meet in person. But the work itself is 100% digital, so I can build your site from anywhere in the United States with no change in price or quality.
What do I need to have ready before we start?
Less than you think. The basics: what your business does, who you sell to, your logo if you have one, and photos of your work or your location. If you do not have a logo, I design it. If you do not have copy, I help you write it. If you do not have good photos, I tell you exactly what to shoot with your phone so it looks right.
Can I have the site in both Spanish and English?
Yes, and in Houston it usually pays off. Having both versions opens up a considerably larger market than one language alone. It is included from the Standard plan up, and it can also be added to a one-time project.
Why hire one person instead of an agency?
Because you talk directly to the person doing the work. There is no salesperson promising one thing and a separate team delivering another, and no management fees stacked on top of the price. I will be straight about the trade-off: a large agency can handle more projects at once than I can. If you need ten websites this month, I am not your best option. If you want one website done well by someone who answers the phone, I am.
What if I do not like the design?
I work with revisions included and show you progress throughout, not just the final result. That means we correct course while changes are still cheap, instead of discovering at the end that it was not what you wanted. In practice there are rarely surprises, because I never reach the end without you having seen it first.
