What sets us apart

Built for Businesses. Designed to Convert.

Strategy before design.

We map out how your website will convert before we design a single page. Every decision — layout, messaging, calls-to-action — is made with your business goals in mind.

Local and accountable.

We’re Austin-based, which means you can actually meet us. No offshore hand-offs, no account managers you’ve never spoken to. Just a focused team that knows your market.

Performance-built from day one.

Fast load times, mobile-first design, and on-page SEO structure are built in from the start — not patched on after launch.

Web Design Services for Businesses

Every business and organization has different goals, audiences, and digital needs. Having a website done professionally not only helps with brand credibility, but helps build trust when attracting customers. That’s why our web design services are tailored to the way you operate and grow.

Whether you need a streamlined one-page site, a conversion-focused marketing website, or a fully featured e-commerce platform, our team builds websites that combine strategy, design, and performance to support your brand online.

Lead-Generation Websites

Designed specifically to turn visitors into leads and inquiries.

These websites focus on clear messaging, strategic layouts, and strong calls-to-action that encourage users to fill out forms, schedule consultations, or request quotes. Every element is built to help convert traffic into real business opportunities.

Marketing Websites

Built to tell your story, showcase your services, and support your marketing efforts.

Marketing websites are designed with brand messaging, user experience, and conversion in mind. These sites typically include multiple pages that help guide visitors through your offerings and encourage them to take action.

Landing Pages

Perfect for startups, campaigns, and small businesses that need a clean, focused online presence.

A one page website presents your brand, services, and contact information in a single streamlined layout. It’s a great option for businesses that want something simple, modern, and quick to launch while still maintaining a professional look

E-Commerce / Online Stores

Fully functional online stores designed to sell products seamlessly online.

E-commerce websites include product catalogs, secure checkout systems, and optimized shopping experiences that make it easy for customers to browse and purchase. We focus on creating stores that are easy to manage, visually engaging, and built for growth.

Multi-lingual websites

Websites designed to serve audiences across multiple languages and regions.

Multi-lingual websites allow your business or organization to reach a broader audience while maintaining a consistent brand experience. We structure these sites to ensure smooth navigation, clear translations, and proper SEO setup for each language.

Government Websites

Accessible, secure websites designed to serve communities and communicate essential information clearly.

Government websites require thoughtful structure, accessibility considerations, and clear content organization. We build sites that make it easy for residents to find services, updates, and resources quickly and efficiently.

Non-profit websites

Websites designed to help organizations share their mission, connect with supporters, and drive impact.

Nonprofit websites often include features like donation integration, event promotion, volunteer signups, and storytelling that highlights the organization’s work. The goal is to create a platform that inspires engagement and supports fundraising efforts.

      The website is very user-friendly. A lot of our customer base is older, so they’re not always the most technologically savvy. However, Forty4 Design made sure that the website was easy to navigate.

      Our business has been gradually increasing since we started working with them. They send us regular reports on how our ads are performing. We’ve seen an increase in leads from digital marketing.

      It took a while to finalize but every step was crucial for the final result. At first we went over ideas and concepts that would maximize my vision. Content came afterwards and little by little the team began to work their magic. With every step, the team communicated their goals and made changes without hesitation for the better of the goal. Countless hours behind the scenes made this happen.

      Your Website Platform Should Support Growth — Not Limit It

      We build on the platform that’s right for your business

      FAQs

      How long does a website take to build?

      L
      K

      Most web design projects take 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on the size and complexity of the project.

       

      A streamlined landing page or smaller site can move faster, while larger websites with more pages, integrations, or custom functionality may take longer. The biggest factor is usually how quickly content, feedback, and approvals move during the process.

       

      At Forty4, we follow a clear process — strategy → design → development → launch — to keep things efficient while making sure the final site is polished, intentional, and built to perform.

      How much does it cost to build a website?

      L
      K

      Website investment varies depending on the scope of the project. Factors that affect cost include:

       

      • Number of pages
      • Custom design requirements
      • Content creation
      • SEO setup
      • Integrations or advanced functionality

       

      Most web design projects fall into a range between $5,000 – $15,000+, depending on complexity.

      We focus on building websites that actually support your brand and business goals, not just something that looks good. After learning about your needs, we’ll provide a clear proposal outlining scope, timeline, and investment.

      Is SEO included with my website?

      L
      K

      Yes, every website we build includes foundational SEO setup. This typically includes:

       

      • SEO-friendly site structure
      • Meta titles and descriptions
      • Optimized page hierarchy
      • Mobile performance optimization
      • Google indexing setup

       

      For businesses that want to actively grow their search visibility, we also offer ongoing SEO strategy and optimization services.

      Is website maintenance included with my website?

      L
      K

      Website maintenance is not automatically included, but we do offer ongoing maintenance and support plans for clients who want peace of mind.

       

      Maintenance plans can include things like:

       

      • Security updates
      • Plugin or platform updates
      • Performance monitoring
      • Content updates
      • Technical support

       

      If you prefer to manage updates yourself, we can absolutely set up your site so it’s easy to maintain on your own.

      Can I edit the website myself?

      L
      K

      Yes. We build websites using platforms that allow you to easily update content, images, and pages without needing to code.

       

      Once your site launches, we’ll provide guidance so you know how to manage basic updates. And if you ever need help, our team is always available for support or larger changes.

      Is my website mobile friendly?

      L
      K

      Absolutely. Every web design project we make is fully responsive, meaning it automatically adapts to phones, tablets, and desktop screens.

       

      Since most users now browse on mobile devices, we design with mobile performance and usability in mind from the start, ensuring your site looks great and functions smoothly on any device.

      What do you need from me to start the project?

      L
      K

      To get started, we typically need a few key things:

       

      • Your brand assets (logo, colors, fonts if available)
      • Website content (or direction for us to help create it)
      • Examples of websites you like
      • Information about your services, audience, and goals

       

      Don’t worry if you don’t have everything fully prepared yet. Part of our process is helping you clarify your messaging and structure your content so your website communicates your brand clearly and effectively.
