Web design for Houston small businesses

The usual way this goes is a discovery call, a proposal, an invoice, and a first look three weeks later. This studio runs it backwards. For $25 you answer a guided brief and get real drafts of your own website — your business, your words, your colours — usually within minutes. Only then do you decide whether to go ahead.

That $25 is a deposit, not a fee on top: it comes off the $300 total if you continue. If the drafts are not right, refining them is what the build stage is for, and nothing is published until you are happy with it.

• Pro — $300 all-in. A single long-scrolling page with everything on it. AI creates the drafts from your brief, then the studio finishes, publishes and connects your domain. For most local businesses this is the right shape: one page that loads fast and answers the four things a customer actually wants to know.
• Signature — $500 all-in. Nothing is AI created. A person designs and builds it by hand, across several pages, with more customization and animation. Usually a first look within 24 hours.

Need a real online store that takes payments, or something stranger? That is a custom commission — scoped and quoted per project, because the effort genuinely varies.

You choose, and both choices are real. Either the studio hosts and looks after the site on a managed plan — from $25/month, priced by how many visitors you get, including your domain, updates and a private Slack channel straight to the studio — or you take your website files and host them yourself with nothing recurring at all.

Cancelling a managed plan does not take your website down. That is worth saying out loud in an industry where it often does.

To be straight about it: there is no storefront and no walk-in office, and the work itself happens online — which is also why the studio can build for businesses outside Texas. Being local means you can reach a person in your own time zone who knows the area, not that there is a lobby to visit.

One person: Peyton Schlicht. There is no account manager layer and no offshore build team — the person who reads your email is the person who builds the site. More about the studio, or just write to ImagineSite12@gmail.com.
