Sitemage.
Web design studio — Houston, Texas

Your business is good. Your website should prove it.

We design and rebuild websites for local practices and service businesses — the dentists, clinics, law firms, and trades whose customers decide in the first ten seconds.

What our audits actually find

Real findings from real practice websites — the expensive problems are almost never the design. They are the things no visitor ever reports:

  • The "www" version of the site returns a 404 — and the Google listing links to it
  • Search Console verification never finished, so Google has never indexed a page
  • Every page shares one title and description, injected by JavaScript
  • A 2.8 MB hero photograph where 300 KB would look identical
  • The map pin in the site's code sits miles from the actual office
  • "5.0 stars (5 reviews)" on the site — while 300+ real reviews sit unlinked elsewhere
  • No dedicated page for the most valuable service the practice sells
  • Nonexistent pages return "200 OK" instead of a 404

Services & starting prices

Quoted flat before work begins. The audit comes first either way — it is how we know what your site actually needs.

Revamp & Rescue

from $2,400
  • Indexing Restored — Google can find and list every page again
  • Speed Budget Met — images and code cut to a weight that loads fast on a phone
  • Titles That Earn the Click — every page gets its own title and description
  • Launch Verified — the rebuilt site checked page by page after the move

Care Plan

from $349 / month
  • Monitoring & Alerts — uptime and intrusion checks that alert the studio first
  • A New Page Every Month — an article or service page, written and published
  • Quarterly Local-Search Check — listings, map pin, and search presence audited four times a year
  • Reviews Watched & Answered — new reviews flagged fast and answered in your voice
Why a studio, priced like this? Hiring this work in-house starts with a single salary: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the median web designer at $98,090 a year — before payroll taxes, benefits, or a second pair of hands. A complete Sitemage rebuild is a flat fee, once, with the warranty below in writing.Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment & Wages, May 2024 (web and digital interface designers, median annual wage).

How a project runs

01

Audit

We score your current site across twelve aspects — technical, search, content, speed, trust — and show you exactly what is broken, in plain language.

02

Design

You approve the homepage design before anything else is built on it. No surprises at page fifteen.

03

Build

Every page built, written for humans first, and verified at phone width — the size your customers actually use.

04

Launch & care

We handle the move, verify the launch page by page, and stay on as your care plan — or hand you the keys. Every launch is covered by the warranty below.

After launch, you're covered

A website is not finished when it goes live — it is finished when it keeps working. Three promises, in writing, on every project:

90-day launch warranty

Every new website is covered for 90 days from launch day. Defects, breakage, and browser drift in anything we built are fixed free — no ticket queue, no hourly meter. You report it, we repair it.

Monitoring that watches first

Care Plan sites are watched around the clock for downtime and intrusion attempts. When something trips, the alert comes to the studio first — in most cases we are already working on it before you would have noticed.

Your keys, your site

The domain, the content, and the accounts stay in your name, registered to you. If you ever move on, we hand over everything — files, logins, documentation. No hostage hosting, ever.

Start a project

Two minutes. Tell us where things stand and what you want the site to do — we reply within one business day with first impressions and a next step.

No spam, no obligation. Your details go to the studio only, and are used only to reply.
