The ten-second test

Someone finds you on Google and your website gets about ten seconds to earn the call. Most local sites fail it quietly. Here's the gap we close.

WHAT CUSTOMERS USUALLY FIND

  • ✕No website at allJust a Facebook page or a booking link. Half your customers never get past that.
  • ✕Outdated prices and hoursA menu PDF from years ago and hours that changed two summers back.
  • ✕Broken on phonesPinch, zoom, squint. Most of your traffic is on a phone, and they leave.
  • ✕No clear next stepNo tap-to-call, no booking button, no directions. Interest dies right there.

WHAT WE SHIP INSTEAD

  • ★Built on your real businessYour actual menu, real prices, best reviews, and your story. Researched, not invented.
  • ★Designed phone-firstFast and readable, easy to use one-handed in a parking lot.
  • ★Every page ends in actionCall, booking, ordering, and directions are always one tap away.
  • ★Kept current for youOn the care plan, price and hour changes are one text message away.

Concept builds

Six builds, chosen as the strongest examples — built to show what's possible. Each one was researched from a real local business, using its real menu, prices, and public reviews, then designed from scratch as a concept. The businesses shown are not clients and didn't commission or pay for these sites. This is a demonstration of the work, not a client list.

Read this part, because it's the honest part: these six are concept builds, not client projects. The businesses named are real DFW businesses used as subjects — they are not Lone Star Sites clients, they didn't hire or endorse this work, and there are no testimonials or logos from them here. Only these six are shown publicly. The other builds we've made aren't posted on this site; each one is shared privately with the business it was made for. If a business likes its concept and says yes, that concept can become its live site — yours would start with a private preview the same way.

03

What a build covers

No bloated agency packages and no features you'll never use. Open each line — this is the whole job, done once and done right.

/ 01

Custom website design

Designed from scratch around your business, your colors, and your customers. No templates, no page builders, nothing that looks like everyone else's site — including ours. Every business gets its own direction.

/ 02

Your real content, done for you

Menus, services, and price lists researched and published accurately. Your best Google reviews featured where new customers will actually see them. You don't write a word unless you want to.

/ 03

Booking & ordering built in

Whatever you already use — Booksy, Square, Paytronix, or a simple tap-to-call — wired into the site so customers can act the moment they're ready, not after they go looking for it.

/ 04

Found on Google

Proper page titles, descriptions, and local details set up so nearby customers searching for what you do can actually find you — and find the right hours and number when they do.

/ 05

Fast, on every phone

Most customers will meet you on a phone screen. Every build is phone-first, loads fast, and keeps call and directions one tap away from anywhere on the site.

/ 06

Care plan, so it stays that way

Hosting handled, content kept current, small changes done for you. Prices change and hours change — on the plan, your website keeps up without you lifting a finger.

04

The build, day by day

A straight line, no endless meetings. Most builds follow this rhythm from first call to launch.

DAY 1

We talk, we research

A short call about your business. Then we dig into your menu, prices, reviews, and competitors, so the site is built on facts instead of guesses.

DAYS 2–4

We build your site

Design, content, booking and ordering links, the works. You get a private preview link to look at on your own phone, on your own time.

DAY 5

You review, we refine

You tell us what's off — a price, a photo, a word. We adjust until it sounds and looks like your business, not like a website about your business.

LAUNCH

Live, then looked after

Your site goes live on your own domain. On the care plan, we keep it hosted, updated, and current from there. You just run the business.

05

Priced by quote, on purpose

A one-page barber site and a restaurant with online ordering are not the same job, so they don't get the same number. Every project is quoted to its actual scope — free, in writing, before any work starts.

What shapes the quote

Pages and size, how much menu or service content needs publishing, and which booking or ordering tools get wired in.

New build or rebuild

Starting from zero and rebuilding what you have are priced differently, because the work is different.

Included either way

Google-ready titles and local search setup, and launch on a domain you own. The care plan is quoted alongside, if you want it.

PROJECT BRIEF — LONE STAR SITESNO OBLIGATION

Start your quote

Two taps now, one short call after. We'll shape the quote around what you pick here.

PROJECT TYPE

ONGOING CARE

PROJECTNew website
CARE PLANNot added yet
NEXT STEPShort call, then a written quote
COMMITMENTNone until you approve the quote

Texting pre-fills your picks, so the call starts halfway done. No pressure either way — if it's not a fit, we'll say so.

06

Who you're working with

"If your website doesn't sound like your business, it isn't finished."

Lone Star Sites is run by Jamil, the same person who designs and builds every site. No account managers, no handoffs, no overseas ticket queue. When you call, you get the builder.

The approach is simple: a website should be built on what's true about your business. Your real prices, your real reviews, the story of how you got here. That's what convinces a customer to pick you over the place down the street, and it's why every build starts with research instead of a template.

We're based in Dallas–Fort Worth and work with independent, single-location businesses across the metroplex. If it helps, we can sit down in your shop and go over the preview together.

07

Straight answers

The things owners ask before they say yes.

How does pricing work?

Every project gets a custom quote. After a short call we price the build on its scope: pages needed, how much menu or service content there is to publish, whether booking or ordering gets wired in, and whether it's a new site or a rebuild. You approve the full quote before any work starts. No hourly meter, no surprise add-ons.

How long until my site is live?

Most builds take about a week: a day to talk and research, a few days to build, a day for your review and fixes, then launch. Busy seasons can stretch that a little, and we'll tell you the real timeline on the first call.

Do I own my website and domain?

Yes. The domain is registered to you and the site is yours. If you ever move on, everything goes with you. We think you should stay because the work is good, not because you're locked in.

What does the care plan get me?

Hosting handled, plus updates done for you: price changes, new hours, menu swaps, seasonal specials. Text or call what changed and it's handled. It's optional, quoted alongside your build based on how much updating you expect, and you can cancel anytime.

I already have a website. Can you rebuild it?

Yes — rebuilds are most of what we do. We keep what works, fix what's costing you customers, and relaunch on the same domain so you don't lose your place on Google.

Why not just use Wix or Squarespace myself?

You can, and for some businesses that's fine. The difference is time and finish: your site gets researched, written, and designed for you with your real content, then maintained for you after. Most owners would rather run their business.

Which businesses do you work with?

Independent, single-location businesses across Dallas–Fort Worth: restaurants, barbershops, salons, cafes, lounges, detailers, and other local services. If the owner can say yes, we're a good fit.

Where do you work?

Across the DFW metroplex, including Plano, Murphy, Wylie, Sachse, Garland, Richardson, Allen, McKinney, Rowlett, and Rockwall.

Your business is real. Let's build the site that proves it.

Call or text and we'll talk through what your business needs. If it's a fit, you'll see a preview of your site before you pay anything.
