Austin web design that ranks, converts and stands out.
Unknown Design Co designs and builds custom websites for Austin businesses: fast, mobile-first and immersive where it helps, with every headline, offer and FAQ in the HTML so Google and AI search engines can read, rank and cite it.
01 / Recent builds
Sites people remember.
Two builds from the studio, recorded straight from the browser. Both keep their full copy in the page source, so the motion never costs them search visibility.

Image Comics
An unsolicited redesign: a 3D wall of real covers and scroll storytelling that turns a weekly catalog into an event.

What does every site include?
Every build ships with custom design, technical SEO and AI-readable structure as standard, not as add-ons. Here is how that compares with a typical template site.
| Feature | Unknown Design Co | Typical template site |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Custom, built around your brand and buyers | A theme shared with thousands of other sites |
| Content Google and AI can read | Every headline, offer and FAQ in the HTML | Often buried in page-builder scripts |
| Schema markup | Organization, Service, FAQ and breadcrumbs built in | Usually missing or generic |
| 3D and motion | Where it sells, loaded after the text | Stock sliders, or none |
| Redesign safety | Every old URL mapped and 301-redirected | Old pages often dropped at launch |
| Ownership | You own the code, content and domain | Often a rented platform on a long contract |
| SEO and AI visibility | Same team, built in from day one | A separate vendor, bolted on later |
03 / Search-first
Why do our sites rank and get cited by AI?
Because we are a search agency first. The same team that builds your site runs SEO and AI search optimization, so the structure engines need is part of the design, not a patch.
01
Readable by machines
Real text in the page source, clean headings and schema, so Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity can understand and quote every page. What is GEO?
02
Built around buyer questions
Each page answers one thing buyers actually search for, with the answer up top, so it can win the query and the AI summary.
03
Fast where it counts
The largest thing on screen is text or a light image, and heavy effects wait until the page is readable, so phones on weak signal still load quickly.
04 / Process
How does a website project work?
Four stages, one team, and a fixed quote before anything starts.
01 · Score & scope
Start with your score
We run your free AI Visibility Score, review your current site and agree the pages, features and quote.
02 · Direction
One design direction
A defended look and feel built around your buyers, plus the one signature moment your site will be remembered for.
03 · Build
Built search-first
Pages, copy structure, schema, speed work and redirects, built together and tested on real phones.
04 · Launch & grow
Launch, then compound
We launch, submit to Google and Bing, and track rankings and AI citations. Add ongoing SEO whenever you are ready.
05 / Pricing
How much does a website cost?
Custom websites start at $5,000. The final number depends on how many pages you need, the features they carry and how much content we write, so every build gets a fixed quote, not an hourly estimate. Send your current site or a short brief and we will come back with the scope, the timeline and the number.

06 / Who it's for
Who do we build websites for?
Mostly home services, medical and legal businesses across the Austin metro: operators with a strong reputation offline whose website is losing them buyers online. We also build for growth brands anywhere that want a site people remember and engines can read.

Web design FAQ
How much does a website cost?+
Custom websites start at $5,000. The final price depends on your pages, features and content, so every build gets a fixed quote before anything starts. Send your current site or a short brief and we will come back with the scope, the timeline and the number.
Will a 3D or animated website hurt my SEO?+
Not the way we build it. The 3D and motion load after the page text, so search engines and AI crawlers see the full content first, and visitors on slower phones still get a fast, readable page.
Do I own the website when it is done?+
Yes. You own the code, the content, the design files and the domain. No rented platform and no contract that holds your site hostage.
Can you redesign my existing website without losing my rankings?+
Yes. Before launch we map every existing URL, keep or redirect each one with a 301, and carry over titles, content and schema, so the rankings you have earned move to the new site.
Do you only build websites, or SEO too?+
Both, from one team. Every site ships with technical SEO and AI-readable structure built in, and you can add ongoing SEO, content and AI citation work whenever you are ready.
What platforms do you build on?+
We pick the platform per project: hand-built static sites when speed and design freedom matter most, or WordPress when your team needs to edit pages and publish often.
