Allen sits in a strange spot for small business marketing — close enough to Plano and Frisco that the bigger agencies pitch you, far enough north that those same agencies treat you as an afterthought once the contract is signed. Most of the businesses we talk to in Allen aren't competing for DFW-wide traffic. They're competing for the parent driving past Watters Creek, the homeowner in Twin Creeks who just Googled "plumber near me," the family searching for a dentist after a Lovejoy ISD orientation. That's a Collin County search, not a Dallas one, and it deserves a site built for that audience.
Smith Web Co. designs and builds websites for Allen, TX businesses that need to show up locally and convert the visitors they get. Not template sites with your logo dropped in. Real design work, real copy, real Core Web Vitals scores.
The phrase covers more ground than it used to. When an Allen business owner asks for web design, what they usually need is some mix of:
We build sites that handle all of that as one project, not five vendors.
We try to be upfront about cost because the "contact us for pricing" runaround wastes everyone's time. Real ranges for Allen-area projects:
Monthly care plans (hosting, updates, security, small edits) typically run $75–$300/month depending on the site. We'll give you a fixed quote after a 20-minute call — no surprise change orders.
You can hire a developer in Lahore for $400 and get a site that technically works. We've inherited dozens of those sites and rebuilt them. The issue isn't the code quality — it's that the person who built it has never driven down Stacy Road, never seen how Allen residents actually search, never written copy that sounds like a Texan instead of a stock phrase generator.
A local web designer understands that:
That context shapes design decisions a remote vendor never makes.
We talk through your business, your customers, your competitors in Allen and the surrounding cities, and what success looks like. If you have analytics, we look at it. If you don't, we set it up before we start designing.
Before any design work, we agree on the page structure. For most Allen service businesses this includes a homepage, a services hub, individual service pages, location pages (Allen, plus 2–4 nearby cities you serve), about, and contact. Every page has a job.
We design in the browser, not in static mockups, so you see exactly how the site will look on a phone, tablet, and desktop. Copy is written by a human who has read your competitors' sites and knows what's missing.
We build on a staging URL you can review. We test on real devices, not just emulators. Forms get tested. Speed gets tested. Schema gets validated.
We migrate, redirect old URLs so you don't lose any existing rankings, submit the new sitemap to Google, and walk you through how to edit your own content.
Most Allen projects run 4–8 weeks start to finish. Rush timelines are possible — ask.
If you don't see your category, ask. The fundamentals translate.
We offer free estimates for any Allen, TX web design project. A 20-minute call is usually enough to scope the work and give you a real number — not a "starting at" number that triples after the contract.
Call (817) 547-0839 or send project details through the contact form. We respond within one business day, and same-week kickoffs are usually available.
Serving Allen, McKinney, Frisco, Plano, Fairview, Lucas, Wylie, and the rest of Collin County.
Most small business sites in Allen run $1,800 to $7,500 depending on page count, copywriting needs, and integrations. A simple 4-page service site lands around $2,500–$3,500; a fuller site with a blog, location pages for nearby cities like McKinney and Frisco, and conversion tracking runs $5,000–$7,500. We give fixed quotes after a short discovery call so you're not guessing.
A typical Allen project takes 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Faster timelines (2–3 weeks) are possible for smaller scopes if content is ready. The biggest variable is how quickly you can review designs and provide content like photos and team bios — projects that stall usually stall on the client side, not ours.
Every site we launch includes on-page SEO foundations: clean URL structure, schema markup, optimized titles and meta descriptions, image optimization, and Google Search Console setup. Ongoing SEO (content, link building, monthly reporting) is a separate service — we'll tell you honestly whether you need it or whether the on-page work is enough for your competition level in Allen.
Yes. Before we launch, we map every existing URL to its new location and set up 301 redirects so your existing search rankings transfer. We also keep your title tags and content structure intact on pages that are already ranking. Done correctly, a redesign keeps your rankings stable and improves them within 30–90 days as Google re-crawls.
We pick the platform based on your needs, not on what's easiest for us. WordPress for content-heavy sites or anything with complex requirements. Webflow for design-forward small business sites where you want a clean editing experience. Shopify for e-commerce. We'll explain the tradeoffs during the discovery call so you understand why we're recommending what we recommend.
Yes. You own the domain, the hosting account, the content, and the design files. We'll never hold your site hostage — if you decide to move on, we'll help you transition. This is something to ask any web designer before hiring them, because not all of them work this way.
We work with businesses throughout Collin County and the broader DFW area — Allen, McKinney, Frisco, Plano, Fairview, Lucas, Wylie, Prosper, and beyond. Being local matters for understanding the market, but we meet most clients on Zoom anyway, so geography is flexible. Allen is where a meaningful chunk of our work happens.
