Austin, TX · remote
An Austin web designer for small businesses.
I'm Brandon Delgado, and I design and build websites for small businesses across Austin. I work with businesses in Austin, remotely, by email and video call. Your site will say what you do, show where you work, and load fast on a phone. One person, one fixed price, and you own all of it.
In a crowded city, fast and clear stands out
Austin has a lot of businesses competing for the same few seconds of a customer's attention. You don't win those seconds with more animation. You win them with a page that shows up quickly and says plainly what you do.
I measured how common slow sites are here. In September 2026 I ran 20 Austin-area remodeler websites through Google's mobile speed test. The typical one took 8.5 seconds to show its main photo on a phone, and 13 of the 20 took more than 6 seconds. Remodelers aren't every business, but it shows how often good firms have slow sites. Hollow Oak, my concept build for a fictional firm, showed its main photo in 1.7 seconds in the same test.
Remodeler figure is the middle result across 20 Austin-area sites (Sept 25, 2026). Hollow Oak is the middle of 3 tests (Sept 26, 2026). Both measured with Google's mobile speed test. Lab results, not measurements of real visitors. The sites tested aren't named.
Say which parts of Austin you serve
Austin is big. If you work in certain parts of town, say so plainly. Your site can name the areas you cover, so a customer knows where you work. I work with you remotely, by email and video call.
If you serve the suburbs too, like Cedar Park, Round Rock, or Leander, each can get its own page once there's real work to show there. I won't write a town page that only swaps the city name. Cedar Park is one place I already describe that way.
When you need more than a website
Some businesses outgrow a simple site. You might need a place where customers log in to check on their job, a tool your team uses to run the day, or the software you already pay for connected so nobody copies data by hand. I build those too, with the same rules: a written scope, a fixed price, and code you own.
How I work
- Measured, not claimed. Speed is tested with Google's mobile speed test and published with the method and the date.
- You own everything. Your domain, code, and accounts are in your name from day one.
- Fixed scope, fixed price. Anything outside the scope is quoted first.
- One senior engineer builds it. No hand-offs, no account managers. You talk to the person doing the work, by email and video call.

Questions
Do I have to be in Austin?
No. I work remotely, by email and video call. Austin and Cedar Park are where I'm starting, along with Leander and Round Rock.
Can you redo my current site instead of starting over?
Sometimes. Send me the link and I'll tell you which makes more sense.
How fast will my site be?
I'll measure it with the same test before launch and tell you the number. I don't promise a number before I've built it.
