An Austin Web Design Company for Businesses That Expect the Site to Earn
Lotiva is a 5-star rated Texas web design agency building websites for Austin businesses that do a job: rank in search, load fast, and turn visitors into booked work. Every build starts with research into how your Austin buyers actually shop, and every site launches in your name, on a platform any developer can work on after us.
A Texas Team, Straight Down I-35
Lotiva is headquartered in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, which puts Austin in our home state and our time zone, and we already run SEO for Austin businesses. Your calls happen during your workday, your team speaks with the people doing the work, and when a project genuinely benefits from sitting down together, Austin is a drive, not a flight.
A Market Where Buyers Judge the Website Before They Judge the Business
Austin holds close to a million people in the city and well over two million across the metro, and the tech industry has trained every one of them to expect software-grade polish from the web. A site that loads slowly or looks dated doesn't read as a small flaw here. It reads as a reason to pick the next tab.
The competitive field matches the standard. Austin has one of the deepest benches of design and development talent in the country, which means the businesses ranking above you usually have real websites behind them. Matching that bar takes more than a template with your logo on it.
The good news is that most Austin business sites still get the fundamentals wrong: slow pages, thin copy, no tracking, and no path from visit to contact. A site that simply does those four jobs well stands out immediately.

Research First, Design Second, and Copy Nobody Has to Fix Later
Most website projects start with a template and end with the client writing their own copy at midnight. Ours start with research: the searches Austin buyers run, the competitors they compare you against, and the questions they need answered before they'll reach out. The design gets built around that, not the other way around.
Every page ships with copy written for your buyers, structure that search engines and AI tools can read, and tracking wired in from day one, so you know what the site is producing from its first week live.
And because the site launches on WordPress in your name, you're never tied to a proprietary builder. Any developer can work on it after us, though most clients don't want anyone else to.
What Every Austin Website Design Includes
- Buyer and competitor research before any design work
- Copy written for your pages, not left to you
- SEO-ready structure that AI search tools can read
- Mobile-first build with page speed treated as a feature
- Analytics and conversion tracking wired at launch
- The finished site handed over in your name
Design, Copy, and Conversion Built as One Piece
A website is three crafts pretending to be one. Skipping any of them is how a beautiful site ends up producing nothing.
Research & Copy
The searches, the objections, and the words that answer them. Written before design starts, so the layout serves the message.
What to ask any agencyDesign & Build
A design that matches the standard of your work, built mobile-first on WordPress with speed treated as a feature, not an afterthought.

Quotes for the same project can sit thousands of dollars apart. The difference is almost always in what happens before the design and after the launch.
The Template Build
- A theme with your logo and colors dropped in
- Copy left to you, or filled with placeholder language
- No tracking, so nobody knows what the site produces
- Hosted on a proprietary builder you can't take with you

- WordPress, in your name, portable to any developer
- Research into your Austin buyers before any design work
- Copy written for every page, in your voice, for your market
- Analytics and conversion tracking live from day one
