Expert Web Design for Austin Businesses
Austin web design for Silicon Hills startups, SXSW-era creative brands and the fast-growing businesses serving a high-income audience. A polished, fast website that ranks for the right searches gives you the edge in a city where new competitors launch every week.

Web design for a market full of people who build software.
The Austin region ended 2023 with nearly 203,000 tech-industry workers, about 16.2% of the workforce, and 59.6% of city residents aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Your visitors notice slow scripts, broken layouts on mobile and vague copy. Many of your competitors already invest in serious SEO and paid search, so a site that is merely fine does not stand out.
For B2B companies the stakes are higher still. SaaS startups, semiconductor suppliers around the Samsung expansion in Taylor, and contractors selling to the state government all face long sales cycles and technical buyers who read documentation before they ever book a demo. The website has to explain a complex product clearly, prove it with specifics and make the next step obvious for each type of visitor.
Growth is also moving outward. The metro added 53,796 residents between July 2024 and July 2025, and suburbs such as Hutto, Kyle and Georgetown grew far faster than the city itself. Consumer brands need location pages for those communities, and about three in ten city residents speak a language other than English at home, mostly Spanish. We build on WordPress for content-led sites, Shopify or BigCommerce for DTC brands, and Magento or PrestaShop for larger catalogs, with performance budgets and analytics set before launch.
Timing matters too. Demand in hospitality and events spikes around SXSW in March and ACL and the Grand Prix in October, and B2B buyers often review vendors before budgets reset. We plan launches so a new site is live, indexed and tested well before the weeks that matter most to your pipeline, rather than going live in the middle of a rush.

Websites that convert, not just look good.
Real figures from Mojo Dojo client case studies, where site structure, speed and conversion paths were part of the work.
Your website has seconds to earn the next click.
Your visitors are quick to judge and your competitors already invest in their sites. The details decide who gets the demo or the call.
Vague pages for a technical audience
Engineers and product leaders skip marketing fluff. If they cannot find specifics, pricing logic or documentation quickly, they leave.
Specific, scannable content structure
Information architecture built around how technical buyers evaluate: specs, integrations, security, pricing and proof, each one click away.
A clumsy mobile experience
Layouts built for desktop first break on the devices most people browse on.
Seamless on every device
Our designs ensure a seamless user experience across desktop and mobile devices, proven by responsive and browser testing before launch.
Every update needs a developer
Small content changes turn into tickets, delays and invoices.
An intuitive backend you control
Our intuitive backend management system makes it easy for you to make quick updates and changes as needed, and we train your team to use it.
A beautiful site nobody finds
Design without search architecture leaves you invisible where buyers are looking.
SEO built in from day one
Semantic structure, schema markup, page speed optimization and analytics configured as standard on every build.
A heavy site in a performance-savvy market
Script-laden builds load slowly and fail Core Web Vitals, which tech-literate visitors notice and search engines penalize.
Fast by design, not by patching
Performance budgets set at design stage, lean front-end code and testing on real devices before launch.
Platforms we build on.
We are platform-agnostic. A venture-backed SaaS company, a DTC brand and a home-services firm each get the CMS that fits their goals, scale and team, including headless options when the product demands it.
WordPress. The world's most popular CMS, powering 43% of all websites. We have built over 1,500 WordPress sites since 2008, from small businesses to enterprise-scale platforms with complex custom post types and advanced SEO architecture.
Shopify. The ecommerce platform built for growth. We design conversion-optimized Shopify stores with custom theme development, app integrations, and SEO-first architecture that turns browsers into buyers from day one.
BigCommerce. A scalable SaaS ecommerce platform with built-in SEO tools, multi-channel selling, and enterprise-grade features. Ideal for rapidly growing stores that need power without the complexity of a self-hosted solution.
Magento. Enterprise-grade ecommerce for complex product catalogs, multi-store environments, and high-volume transactional requirements. Magento gives you total flexibility when your business has outgrown simpler platforms.
PrestaShop. A lightweight, open-source ecommerce platform with a global community since 2008. PrestaShop is well-suited for businesses that need a cost-effective, customizable storefront without the overhead of enterprise platforms.
Custom Development. Sometimes no off-the-shelf platform fits. Our development team builds fully bespoke web applications and headless CMS solutions for businesses with unique functional requirements that standard platforms cannot satisfy.
Our design and development methodology.
Our workflow has three phases: <a href="/us/branding-agency" data-entity-id="ada4e5d3-601e-4ec1-82a0-f74225ec0866" class="entity-link" data-target-slug="branding-agency" data-target-schema="service">branding</a> concept development and structural organization, concept refinement, and construction. For startups that have outgrown a launch site, we scope the rebuild and show you the finished <a href="/us/website-design-development" data-entity-id="ae4e37eb-1959-4e8f-a980-23068a558503" class="entity-link" data-target-slug="website-design-development" data-target-schema="service">web development</a> direction before engineering begins.
Brainstorming
You will meet with the development team to brainstorm and provide a brief of your online design requirements, vision and objectives. A feasibility study follows, with a project plan that gives you a better understanding of your target audience and the competitive landscape. Covers: understanding your target audience, choice of a custom CMS, the architecture design of your website, and finalization of website feature requirements.
User Experience and User Interface
Mojo Dojo's designers create a fluid UX and UI experience with on-brand visualizations of your website in Adobe XD. Covers: incorporating your brand into the design, website layouts designed in Adobe XD, review of the layouts, and finalization of navigation and design layout.
Custom Management System Development
The conversion from UX/UI design to a content management system takes the longest time in the project. The CMS is industry compliant, with support available from Mojo Dojo or the online community. Covers: custom development, calls to action, plugins, extensions and apps, SEO integration, and framework.
Testing Process
Before launching the final product, we perform thorough technical and user acceptance testing to ensure a high-quality, user-friendly website. Covers: responsive design testing, browser testing, functional requirements testing, and usability testing and improvements.
Training and Support
After launch, we run a website training session with your staff on navigating the content management system, in person or online. Ongoing support is available to enhance or edit the website on request. Covers: website backend training, in-person or online training, dedicated support, and phone or email support.
Website Maintenance
We highly recommend regular website maintenance to improve the security of your website. Regular updates add new features and functionality and reduce the risk of being hacked. Covers: updating the CMS and database to the latest version, updating plugins, extensions and apps, and regular backups of the website.

A five-stage process from brief to launch.
Every project moves through five main stages. We define your audience and competitive landscape, plan the site around them and turn structure into draft designs for review. The discipline has been refined across 1,500+ projects in 81 verticals.
Brainstorm
We define your target audience, select the right CMS, map the information architecture, and identify the features and integrations your site needs to compete and convert.
UX/UI Design
We create high-fidelity wireframes in Adobe XD, incorporating your brand identity, navigation logic, and conversion-focused layouts. You review and approve before a single line of code is written.
CMS Development
Custom theme and plugin development, CTAs, SEO integration, schema markup, page speed optimization, and framework configuration. Built to spec, not templated.
Testing
Responsive testing across devices, cross-browser compatibility, functional QA, form submission flows, page speed benchmarking, and usability review before any site goes live.
Training & Support
We train your team to manage the backend confidently. Ongoing support, maintenance packages, and performance optimization ensure your site stays fast, secure, and competitive long after launch.
Areas we serve in Austin.
We work remotely with businesses throughout the metro, using video calls, shared staging and shared reporting. In the city that includes Downtown, East Austin, South Congress, Zilker, Hyde Park, Mueller and the north side, plus Westlake.
To the north we build for firms in Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Pflugerville and Hutto; to the west in Lakeway, Bee Cave and Dripping Springs; and to the south and east in Kyle, Buda, San Marcos, Manor and Bastrop. For businesses serving several of these communities, we plan a page for each.
Selected results.

“Their team understood our business before we even had to explain it. Enquiries are up 250% and the quality is better than ever.”
The framework we use to build websites that sell.
Most websites are built by people who think about how they look. This one is about how they sell: the funnel, the proposition, and the landing page, in the order you should work on them.

Free. 14 pages. In your inbox. Magic-link delivery, it arrives in about two minutes, and there's no sales call attached to reading it.
Do you work with Austin businesses?
Yes, remotely. Discovery, design reviews and CMS training happen over video calls, the build lives on a shared staging site you can check anytime, and after launch you get shared reporting on speed, rankings and conversions.
Can you build a marketing site for a SaaS company?
Yes. We design product, pricing, integration and documentation pages, build a component library your team can use to launch landing pages, and connect the site to your CRM, analytics and sign-up flow. We can also run it headless if your engineering team prefers.
Do we need Spanish-language pages?
For many consumer services, it is worth testing. About three in ten city residents speak a language other than English at home, mostly Spanish. We can set up proper language versions with hreflang tags and translated forms, starting with your highest-value pages.
How long does a startup website redesign take?
A focused marketing site for a startup usually takes 6 to 10 weeks from signed scope to launch, depending on how many page templates and integrations you need. If you have a funding announcement or product launch coming, tell us the date up front and we will plan the design and build milestones backward from it, with a staging link your founders can review along the way.
How long does a new website take to build?
Most projects land between 6 and 12 weeks from signed scope to live launch. Simple brochure sites on WordPress can be done in 4 weeks. Complex ecommerce builds with custom functionality or data migrations run 12 to 16 weeks. We set a realistic timeline at the start and hold to it with weekly progress updates.
Which platform is right for my business?
It depends on your goals. WordPress is the right choice for most content-heavy businesses, professional services firms, and brands that want maximum SEO flexibility. BigCommerce suits mid-market retailers that are scaling fast. Magento is for enterprise ecommerce with complex catalog requirements. We give you an honest recommendation based on your specific situation, not on what is most profitable for us to build.
Do you include SEO in your web design projects?
Yes, always. Every site we build includes on-page SEO setup as standard: semantic HTML structure, schema markup, XML sitemap, Robots.txt, canonical tags, page speed optimization, and Google Analytics 4 configuration. For clients wanting ongoing SEO campaigns post-launch, we offer integrated web design and SEO retainers that give you a single, coordinated team across both disciplines.
What happens after the website launches?
We include a 30-day post-launch support window on all projects. During that period we fix any bugs or inconsistencies at no charge. After that, clients can move onto a monthly maintenance retainer that covers updates, backups, security monitoring, and priority support. We also offer ongoing SEO retainers to help the site rank and convert over time.
What is the difference between web design and web development?
Web design is how your site looks, reads and flows: brand, layout, navigation and user experience, which we map in Adobe XD. Web development is the build: turning the approved design into a working CMS with custom functionality, integrations, SEO and speed optimization. We deliver both as one project with one team, so nothing gets lost in the handover.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
Yes. Every site comes with an intuitive backend management system, and after launch we run a training session with your staff, in person or online, covering how to edit pages, add content and manage the CMS. Dedicated phone and email support is there if you get stuck.
Can you redesign or rebrand my existing website?
Yes. We handle CMS redesigns, redevelopments and rebranding projects. Depending on where you are in your branding lifecycle, we scope the work and show you what your brand will look like on completion before development starts, and we protect existing search rankings during the rebuild.
Will my new website work on mobile?
Yes. Every design is responsive and tested before launch across devices and browsers, alongside functional requirements testing and usability review, so visitors get a seamless experience on desktop, tablet and mobile.
