Common questions about our services from DFW businesses.
- How much does a small business website cost in Texas?
- Business websites at Mockingbird Software start at $2,000. Most small business sites - up to 8 pages with SEO, a contact form, and a CMS - land in the $2,000–$5,000 range depending on the number of pages and any special features like booking systems, galleries, or blog functionality. We provide detailed, line-item quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins - no hidden fees or surprise charges.
- How long does it take to build a small business website?
- Most small business websites are designed, developed, and launched within 2–4 weeks. A simple 5-page brochure site can be completed in as little as 2 weeks, while sites with custom features, multiple service pages, or e-commerce functionality may take 3–6 weeks. We keep DFW business owners informed throughout the process with regular updates and design reviews so there are never surprises about the timeline.
- Do you include SEO with your small business websites?
- Yes - every website we build includes foundational SEO as standard. This includes keyword research for your industry and location (like 'plumber in Denton' or 'dentist near Frisco'), optimized title tags and meta descriptions, fast page load speeds, mobile optimization, schema markup, Google Business Profile integration, and XML sitemaps. We also offer ongoing SEO services for businesses that want to invest in climbing search rankings and driving more organic traffic from the DFW area.
- Can I update the website myself after it's built?
- Absolutely. We build every small business website with an easy-to-use content management system (CMS) so you can update text, images, blog posts, and basic content without any technical knowledge. We also provide a training session after launch so your team feels confident making updates. If you'd prefer a hands-off approach, our monthly maintenance plans include content updates, security patches, and ongoing support for DFW small business owners who would rather focus on running their business.
