Mojo Media Reviews & Testimonials
Joseph Haile Co-Founder & Managing Director at TrueNorth Infrastructure Inc
5.0★
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.

Web Design Review from Roshan Kodabuckus
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.

Working with Monarch Web Solutions was a fantastic experience. Greg not only helped me figure out what I needed for my site, but he regularly updated me on the work being done. I never felt like I was being sold something that I didn't need. Every interaction I had with any member of the agency was genuine and productive.

During the engagement, Daniel from Manarch really listened about my business and provided exceptional strategic insights on how my business can better convert and how we can continue to grow. His approach is thoughtful and you can really tell they focus on your business individually as opposed to staying general advice. I recommend them highly and am looking forward to our next project!

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 areaThank you,Dax Johnson

Digital Marketing Review from Randy Hill
We hired Allegiant Digital Marketing after several failed attempts with other digital marketing agencies to help us generate business from the internet. They helped build our new website and run our PPC and SEO. As soon as we began working with them we noticed instantly a pretty substantial uptick in our digital leads. Not only are they really good at what they do, but they really show they care about our business by going above and beyond for us. Highly recommended!

Arthur Choi's Review Sourced from Google
Allegiant Digital Marketing has gone above and beyond for us time and time again—handling complex website migrations, hitting emergency deadlines, and delivering the impossible with incredible skill. So many times, when our company was in a bind, Chad and his team stepped in and saved the day for us. Whether or not that is fixing caching issues, delivering on technical SEO requests, and providing us with an actionable marketing strategy to help our company stand out from the rest of the competition. Chad Markham, the owner, brings vast expertise not just in marketing but also in the M&A space across diverse industries like HVAC, tree care, restoration, roofing, and eCommerce. His team is equally outstanding, especially Chris Tucker (no relation to the celebrity!), who has consistently prioritized our needs even during their busiest times. We’re infinitely grateful for their dedication and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-tier marketing partner!

From improving our online presence to generating quality leads, they’ve been an incredible partner every step of the way. The detailed reporting and proactive communication give us confidence in their ability to adapt and optimize our campaigns. We highly recommend them to any business looking for a reliable marketing partner for RHP.

If you need any marketing help or web design look no further. Level Nine Media is who you need. Rob communicated with us every step of the way with what he was doing. He ran a check to see what we needed updated and turned out our website needed a complete overhaul haul. Before Rob took over our website we would get maybe 2-3 inquiries a day. Now my phone doesn’t stop ringing! I get about 6-7 calls a day and we get even more inquiries through our website. We have had our new sight about a month now and Rob even sent us our new numbers and it’s astonishing how much more traction we have! Thank you Rob for building us a website that is amazing and attractive to new clients!

How much do Austin web development companies charge for their services?
Austin web development companies charge $100 to $200 per hour, and a typical business website project runs from $8,000 to $25,000. Statewide, Austin is the priciest market in Texas for web development.
Overall, pricing varies based on what you're building:
Project type
Average cost
Basic business website
$8,000 to $15,000
Advanced business site
$15,000 to $25,000
Custom web app
$40,000 to $120,000+
Lower-cost builds typically include a template design, standard CMS setup, and a handful of pages. Higher costs usually come from:
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.
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.
