      Web Design Review from Joseph Haile

      We had an excellent experience working with Sara and the team at Mojo Media on the design and development of our new EverPatch website. We needed a professional bilingual website that could clearly present our company and products to municipalities, public works departments, contractors, and other infrastructure professionals. From the beginning, Sara took the time to understand our business, our target market, and what we were trying to accomplish. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Whenever we requested a revision or had a question, the team was responsive, patient, and willing to make the necessary adjustments until we were satisfied. What impressed us most was the level of personal attention Sara gave the project. We never felt like just another client. She was accessible, professional, and genuinely interested in making sure the final website represented our company properly. The finished website is professional, modern, easy to navigate, and gives EverPatch the credibility we wanted as we introduce our products to the municipal and infrastructure market. We are very pleased with the overall experience and would confidently recommend Mojo Media to any business looking for a professional web design team that cares about both the quality of the work and the client relationship.

      Sara and the team at Mojo are fantastic at what they do. I reviewed a number of vendors before moving forward with Mojo Media Agency, and Im very happy that we decided to move forward with them. They know their business inside out, from technical knowledge to understanding their audience to platform efficiency. And they are incredibly patient, always enthusiastic, great at problem solving and we are extremely pleased with our final website. I highly recommend Sara and the team, and I have a lot of praise for their technical skills, stakeholder management, and ability to deliver what was agreed (and beyond).

      Web Design Review from Chirag Patel

      Mojo Media did an amazing job building our new website for District AV. We worked with Sara, and she was great from start to finish. From the beginning, she listened to the vision I had for the site, understood our goals, and translated that into a design that was exactly in line with what I was looking for. District AV is a residential technology design and integration company, so it was important that the website felt polished, professional, and aligned with the high-end homes and clients we work with. Mojo did a great job helping us present our services clearly, including lighting control, motorized shades, audio/video, networking, security cameras, smart home control, and support. I've been involved in building a handful of websites in the past, and this was by far the easiest process. Sara was responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept the project moving without making it feel overwhelming. The design was on point from the initial direction I shared, and the final site gave us a much stronger online presence. Since the site is still new, its too early to measure long-term traffic or lead generation results, but the immediate impact is clear. We now have a professional website that better reflects the quality of work we do and gives us a great place to send potential clients, builders, designers, and referral partners. Overall, we're very happy with the final result and would highly recommend Mojo Media to any business looking for a strong website design partner.

      dax johnson's Review Sourced from Google

      Exceptional Team. This is our experience with Black Ops Agency, hopefully to those reading this will help and finding the right AV team for you. I recommend Black Ops Agency. Background: hosting an in-person austin event requiring microphones, speakers, and full recording with 4 angles. From the beginning of contact to the conclusion of the event, Wesley & Ramin were incredible. Their energy and attitude were attentive, patient, and intelligent. One of the most important parts I observed was the communication being CLEAR, and FAST. They were adjustable on everything, and affordable.* ------------------- Additional details from our experience: Pros: -We did 1 full event with Black Ops, which included multiple services, however, definitely not all of them. That said - From this experience with them, I & the rest of our team observed no issues from Ramin or Wesley. I have no requests or feedback for them has they have dialed their business in for the services we needed. If anything, I received great feedback to optimize my part. -Highly adjustable -Great Communication -Clear and specific -Clean and professional, not to "Casual" nor stilted, preggish, or overly formal. Just good people who get it done! Cons: Only Con which is more of a reminder to all those looking for this service would be: Their energy type (attitude-personalities-etc) may not resonate with everyone. It did for us, and I know many people who would also resonate with them. - I wanted to add this as it's essential in any business, event, or other construction, having the right people, not just in their skills, but the way they work and process internally, is frequently overlooked. -------------------- I am extremely happy with the results of Blacks Ops Agency for our event AV team. * Compared to similar teams in the area Thank you, Dax Johnson

      Sarah & her team are the absolute BEST!!!!! They go above & beyond in their initial bidding and brainstorming process to truly understand your brand on a uniquely deep intuitive level. This process is thoughtful, timely, and so effective that when we went into the design phase, everything went incredibly smooth. We LOVE the creative brains at Way Creative and are so happy with our new brand. We truly believe we have a branding roadmap to help us grow into an internationally known brand. Hiring Sarah and her team is the best decision we made-- they GET IT. You are in great hands with this branding and website development team!

      Way Creative not only won a very competitive bid process, but delivered exceptionally well! The whole team is smart, thorough, and dedicated. Multiple team members visited our historic hotel and put in a lot of energy getting to know the community and surrounding area and not just the property itself. Our new branding is killer, and it was confirmed when the locals took to it immediately as well. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them and highly recommend using Way Creative!

      I honestly don’t have enough words to express the gratitude I have for the entire team at VioPixel. From the very beginning, they’ve been nothing short of exceptional — incredibly professional, creative, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their friendly, down-to-earth approach made the whole experience not only enjoyable but deeply collaborative. What stood out most is how invested they were in understanding me, my brand, what it stands for, and how it fits into today’s market. They didn’t just “do a job” — they brought my vision to life in a way that felt aligned, modern, and deeply connected to the heart of my business. In the short time I’ve known them, they’ve already helped move my business forward in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Their ideas are brilliant, their execution is flawless, and their ability to transform dreams into reality is something truly special. They’ve truly become an integral part of my brand’s journey — not just as creative partners, but as a dream team deeply aligned with my purpose, vision, and values. It’s rare to find people who care this much and show up with so much heart, talent, and dedication. If you’re looking for a team who just gets it, works with integrity, and brings your dream to life — VioPixel is it.

What is included in a typical Austin web development service package?

A standard web development package covers discovery, design, development, and testing, usually with a defined support period after launch. 

Here is what most web development services in Austin include: 

  • Discovery: Goals, target audience, competitor review, and technical requirements. 
  • Design: Wireframes, visual design, and revisions based on feedback. 
  • Development: Front-end build, CMS setup, and any integrations with CRMs, booking, or payment systems. 
  • Content: Placement and formatting of copy and images, though writing itself is often billed separately. 
  • Testing: Cross-browser checks, mobile responsiveness, and load-speed review before launch. 
  • Post-launch support: A fixed window of bug fixes, typically 30 to 90 days, before maintenance shifts to a separate contract. 

What do web development companies in Austin charge that most clients don't expect?

SEO and content creation are the two most underestimated costs in web development. A technically solid site that isn't optimized for search or populated with quality topical content will struggle to generate traffic no matter how well it performs. 

Other common add-ons include: 

  • Domain renewal: $10 to $15 per year 
  • Hosting: $5 to $50 per month for shared hosting, up to $500 per month for dedicated hosting 
  • Maintenance: $50 to $150 per month for basic plans, $100 to $500 per month for e-commerce sites 
  • Third-party licenses: Premium themes, plugins, or stock assets billed per item 
  • Revisions: Most contracts cap free revisions before extra charges apply 

How do I know whether I need a redesign or a completely new website?

You likely need a rebuild instead of a redesign when the underlying system limits performance or functionality, even if the design still looks acceptable

A redesign is usually enough when the structure is solid, but the visual design or user experience needs improvement. 

You need a new website if

  • Your CMS cannot support required functionality  
  • The codebase is outdated or difficult to maintain  
  • Performance issues persist after optimization  
  • Integrations are breaking or difficult to implement  
  • Security updates are no longer reliable  

A redesign is usually enough if

  • The backend system is stable  
  • Only UI/UX improvements are needed  
  • Content structure is already well organized  
  • No major functionality changes are required 

What are the biggest red flags when evaluating Austin web developers?

The biggest red flags when evaluating Austin web developers are unclear technical processes and lack of ownership transparency

Keep an eye out for these other warning signs

  • No staging environment before launch  
  • No version control system (Git) mentioned  
  • No clear QA or testing process  
  • Unclear ownership of source code or CMS access  
  • No discussion of performance standards (Core Web Vitals)  
  • Vague handling of integrations (“TBD” in proposals)  
  • No defined post-launch support or maintenance plan 

Will I be able to manage the website myself after launch?

You will be able to manage the website yourself after launch if the CMS is configured properly and the agency provides training and documentation

Most Austin web development companies design websites to be easily maintained by non-technical teams without developer help

This usually includes: 

  • CMS access with role-based permissions  
  • Page templates that prevent layout issues  
  • Training sessions for internal teams  
  • Documentation for content updates  
  • Simple editing tools for text, images, and pages  

Important note: technical updates, integrations, or system changes will still require developer support. 

Can web development projects go over budget, even after I’ve approved the proposal?

Yes, web development projects can go over budget even after approval when the original scope does not fully account for technical complexity or changes during the build process

This is common, especially on custom builds. 

Typical reasons for budget increases are

  • New features added 
  • Underestimated integration complexity  
  • Additional design revisions  
  • Content migration taking longer than expected  
  • Stakeholder feedback extending development
