CALLIE BRAND | Houston Web Design Studio

CALLIE BRAND builds websites for small businesses, service providers, entrepreneurs, churches, and other organizations that want a professional site. The industry is not the filter. You work directly with Mike Spacek, the designer and founder, from the first call to launch. There is no account manager in between, and the studio is not a marketing agency.

Both packages get the same custom design process. Signature Website starts at $2,495, covers up to 5 pages, and is typically live in 2-3 weeks. Signature Plus starts at $3,995, covers up to 10 pages with a blog or an online store, and is typically live in 4-6 weeks. More than that is quoted after a discovery call.

A Signature Website is typically live in 2-3 weeks, and a Signature Plus site in 4-6 weeks. The pace mostly comes down to how quickly photos, wording, and feedback come together on your end. The studio only takes on 3 new projects a month so those timelines stay realistic. Larger builds are scoped separately.

Every project includes custom design, development, a mobile-first layout, basic on-page SEO, and basic copywriting. If you already have specific copy, you can provide it at no additional fee. Signature covers up to 5 pages. Signature Plus adds up to 10 pages and a blog or store. Hosting starts at $30 a month.

Yes. Every site starts mobile-first, because most people in Houston and Katy will open it on a phone before they see it on a computer. Layouts are fully responsive, and the build is checked across devices before launch. A walkthrough at launch covers how the site works, including the parts your team will update.

Yes. Hosting and support starts at $30 a month after launch and keeps the site online on CALLIE BRAND's servers. You own the site once it is paid for. Revisions after the project has been approved and launched are $97 an hour. The $2,495 and $3,995 prices do not include the monthly plan.

Website projects are typically split into two payments: half to begin, and half at launch. That pattern is the same for Signature and Signature Plus. A short discovery call comes first, so the proposal matches the pages and features you actually need. Landing pages and work outside the two packages are quoted from that conversation.

Yes. You own the site once it is paid for, and we never hold a website hostage. Hosting from $30 a month keeps it on our servers. Take it anytime: your own developer can move it at no charge from us. The $250 offboarding package is completely optional, only a convenience if you would rather we set up the move.

Basic copywriting is included in the packages. If you already have specific wording you want used, you can provide it at no additional fee. On a redesign, content that is already working can still be carried over, tightened, or rewritten.

It depends on the project. Sites have launched on Next.js, Astro, WordPress, Shopify, and Framer. The choice follows how you will update the site, how often content changes, and whether you need a blog or an online store. Published examples include WordPress for Union Houston and Maven Property Care, Shopify for Preach the Gospel, and Framer for RevRod HTX.

Basic on-page SEO is included: page titles, descriptions, a mobile-first layout, and structured data that tells Google what you do and where. That is setup, not a promise of a specific position. Rankings also depend on competition, your Google Business Profile, and reviews. A redesign uses permanent redirects so old addresses still reach the new pages.

A redesign does not have to throw away rankings you have already earned. The current site is reviewed first. Page addresses stay where they can, and permanent redirects send changed addresses to the new pages. Wording that already works can stay. MBC Tint Pros and Crest Management Group are published redesign projects.

Yes. Signature Plus starts at $3,995, includes an e-commerce setup and up to 10 pages, and is typically live in 4-6 weeks. A published store is Preach the Gospel on Shopify. The platform depends on how many products you sell and how you want to manage orders. A store can sit beside a regular website or stand on its own.

Start with a short discovery call about your business, your goals, and what you need the site to do. Then you get a proposal. Payment on a website project is typically half to begin and half at launch. If you already have a logo, colors, and fonts, the design follows them.
