Websites laid by hand in Tyler, Texas

Custom sites for East Texas businesses, built around the work you actually do: quick on a phone, easy for you to update, and set up so people nearby can find you.

In 2015 the city counted nearly 14 miles of brick streets in Tyler, about 12.6 million bricks, laid by hand from the early 1900s into the 1940s. Why we build on them

Five Texas businesses, all live today

A crew in Tyler that started with a business card, a Tyler restaurant whose dogos get built while you watch, a concrete company in Noonday whose old site couldn’t send a single estimate, a tint shop in Georgetown that shows you the shade before you pick it, and an Austin party-bus company whose site fits your group to a bus. Open them on your phone.

Tyler · four trades

C & E Construction and More

Four trades, one crew, one phone number

A first website for a Tyler crew that does concrete, landscaping, painting and fence repair. Built from a business card: a nursery bench of plant tags, a lawn edge mowed by a walking crew, a work journal the owner fills from a phone.

Tyler · dogos & grill

Lalo’s Mexican Grill & Cantina

A restaurant site where the dogos get built in front of you

A rebuild for a Tyler family restaurant that moved from a dogo counter inside Bricks downtown to its own place on Old Bullard Rd. The old site was a dark template whose sections stayed blank until you scrolled, with a catering form that said thanks and sent nothing. The new one is set on the kitchen’s pass: every dogo on the menu drawn from its real toppings, an open sign that lights only when they’re open, and the move drawn as a map.

Noonday · concrete

Marquez Concrete

A rebuild that finally sends the estimate

A rebuild for a Noonday concrete company whose old site pointed at a domain nobody owned and had a form that could not send. The new one is built from the paperwork of a pour: the delivery ticket, the detail drawing, a crew screeding the slab.

Georgetown · window tint

Shade Customs

A tint shop that shows you the shade

A redesign for a Georgetown window-tint shop whose site already booked and priced jobs but leaned on generated pictures. The new one opens on the shop’s own footage of its front with one sheet of 3M film laid across it: through the film on one side of a line, clear glass on the other, and the measured numbers for every shade.

Austin · party buses

Go2Guy Party Bus & Shuttle Service

A party bus site that reads like the bus

A rebuild for an Austin party-bus company whose site was a dark template with testimonials that had no source, and whose lead emails could fail without anyone knowing. The new one is set like the LED destination sign on the front of the bus, fits a group to a bus by headcount, and gets every trip request to the owner or tells the visitor to call.

How Tyler fixes a brick street

Those bricks aren’t made anymore, so the city treats every one as worth keeping. When a brick street fails, a crew lifts the bricks, fixes what’s underneath and lays the same bricks back by hand. It’s how we rebuild a website too: keep what’s good, fix the base, set it back properly.

  1. 01

    Lift

    The old bricks come up one at a time and are stacked to one side. They’re kept, not replaced.

  2. 02

    Base

    The ground is compacted and a new concrete base is poured under where the bricks will go.

  3. 03

    Sand

    A bed of sand is spread over the base and struck level, ready to take the bricks.

  4. 04

    Relay

    The same bricks go back down by hand, one at a time, and are leveled.

Tyler, and the towns around it

We’re in Tyler. Most of a website happens on the phone and on a shared preview link, so Longview or Jacksonville is no harder than South Broadway.
