Web Design McAllen TX
A website is your best salesperson — or your worst first impression.
When a McAllen customer searches for your service, clicks your link, and lands on a slow or outdated website — they leave within 3 seconds. That's a customer you paid for (through SEO or ads) that you just lost to a competitor.
The bar for web design and website development in the RGV is still remarkably low. Most local business sites load slowly, aren't optimized for mobile, and have no real SEO structure. A properly built, fast-loading site stands out immediately — to visitors and to Google.
We don't build sites that look good in a mockup. We build sites that get found, load fast, and convert. Every design decision is made with your customer's next action in mind.

What's included in every RankRGV website
Every website design and development project we take on includes the same foundation — no add-ons, no upgrades.
99+ PageSpeed Performance
Every site we build scores 99+ on Google PageSpeed. Fast sites rank higher, convert better, and keep visitors from bouncing. We build in Astro — the fastest web framework available.
Mobile-First Design
60%+ of McAllen searches happen on mobile. We build the mobile version first. Every button, form, and navigation element is tested on real phones before launch.
SEO Architecture Built In
Title tags, meta descriptions, schema markup, internal linking, canonical URLs — all built into every page from the start. Not an afterthought. Not an add-on.
City & Service Pages
Every city you serve gets a dedicated page optimized for local searches. Every service gets its own page. This is the structure Google rewards — and most competitors skip.
Lead Capture Forms
Every site includes optimized lead forms connected to your email and CRM. Honeypot spam protection, confirmation emails, and mobile-friendly submission flows.
Analytics & Tracking
Google Analytics 4 and Search Console configured from day one. See where your traffic comes from, which pages convert, and which searches bring customers.
How we build your website
A clean process from discovery to launch — and beyond.
01
Discovery & Strategy
We start with a conversation about your business, your customers, and your goals. Who searches for you? What do they need to see before they call? What are your top 3 competitors doing? The strategy comes before any design decision.
02
Keyword & SEO Architecture
Before we design a single page, we map out the keyword structure. Every page gets an assigned keyword target, a title tag formula, and a content outline. We build the site architecture around what your customers search for in McAllen and the RGV.
03
Design & Build
We build your site in Astro — the fastest-loading web framework available. Every page is mobile-first, 99+ PageSpeed, and coded clean. No page builders, no bloated plugins, no WordPress vulnerabilities. Pure, fast, crawlable HTML.
04
Content & Copy
We write or refine every page's copy with two goals: convert visitors and rank on Google. Your homepage talks to your best customer. Your service pages target their specific searches. Your location pages rank for your city.
05
Testing & Launch
Before we go live: cross-browser testing, mobile testing, form submission testing, speed audit, schema validation, sitemap submission to Google Search Console, and a full accessibility review. We launch when it's right — not when the calendar says so.
06
Ongoing Performance
After launch, we monitor rankings, traffic, and form submissions. Sites are living assets — we keep them updated, fast, and ranking. Monthly reports show you exactly how your site is performing.
Why most McAllen business websites don't generate leads
We audit dozens of RGV business websites every month. The same problems show up every time: sites loading in 6+ seconds, no city-specific pages, title tags that say "Home," and zero schema markup. These are not cosmetic problems — they're ranking killers.
A slow website doesn't just annoy visitors — Google uses page speed as a direct ranking signal. A site that loads in 5 seconds ranks lower than one that loads in under a second, all else being equal. In a market where most businesses have weak sites, this gap is an opportunity.
The good news: the RGV market is still catching up. Businesses that invest in a properly built, fast-loading, SEO-optimized website now will dominate their category for years. The ones that don't will spend that same time wondering why their phone doesn't ring.

Client Results
RGV businesses getting real results
Real clients, real outcomes. No made-up metrics.
The website they built loads in under a second and looks better than anything in our industry. But more importantly — it actually shows up when people search for car repair in Brownsville. Our Google traffic doubled in the first month.
2× Google traffic in first month
Summer is our busiest season and we were losing jobs to competitors who showed up on Google and we didn't. RankRGV fixed that. We're now in the top 3 for 'AC repair Mission TX' heading into this summer. Game changer.

I was skeptical about digital marketing — but RankRGV showed me exactly which searches my clients were using and built pages targeting every single one. We now rank #1 for 'personal injury attorney Edinburg.' Worth every dollar.
Ranking #1 for primary keyword
I had a website but nobody could find it. RankRGV built out our McAllen and Edinburg pages, cleaned up our Google Business Profile, and within 60 days we were getting calls from Google Maps. First time ever.

We switched from a national marketing company that never understood the RGV market. RankRGV is local — they knew exactly what Harlingen patients search for. Our new patient inquiries from Google went up 4× in three months.

Web design questions from RGV business owners
How much does a website cost for a McAllen small business?
Web design pricing in the RGV ranges from $800 for a simple 3-page site to $5,000+ for a full multi-service build with SEO architecture. The number that matters more is the return — a site that generates 5 new calls per month pays for itself in weeks. We start with a discovery call to understand your goals and give you a specific number. No packages, no surprises.
How long does it take to build a website?
For most McAllen small business websites, we deliver a completed site in 2–4 weeks from the time we have your content and approvals. Rush timelines are possible for businesses with upcoming launches or events. We don't drag projects out — our process is structured and our timelines are real.
What makes a website rank on Google?
Rankings come from a combination of technical signals (site speed, mobile-first code, structured data, crawlability), content signals (pages targeting the right keywords, written for both users and search engines), and authority signals (backlinks, citations, reviews). Every RankRGV site is built with ranking baked in from day one — not added as an afterthought. Most web design agencies build pretty sites that Google ignores. We build sites Google trusts.
Do I really need a new website if I already have one?
Not always — but most RGV business websites we audit have serious technical problems that prevent them from ranking. Common issues: loading in 5+ seconds, not mobile-optimized, missing schema markup, no city-specific pages, and titles like 'Home' instead of 'Plumber McAllen TX.' We'll tell you honestly whether you need a rebuild or whether your current site can be fixed. We don't push new builds if they're not necessary.
What's the difference between a template website and a custom-built site?
Template websites (Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy builders) look decent but are slow to load, hard for Google to crawl, and make you look identical to your competitors. Custom-built sites — especially in a modern framework like Astro — load instantly, score 99+ on Google's PageSpeed test, and are structured exactly how Google's algorithm prefers. For an RGV business trying to rank, that technical advantage is significant.
Will my website work perfectly on mobile phones?
Yes — and this isn't optional. Over 60% of local searches in McAllen happen on mobile. We build mobile-first: the mobile version is built first, and the desktop version extends from there. Every button, form, and navigation element is tested on real mobile devices before launch. Google also uses mobile-first indexing — meaning your mobile site is what Google actually crawls and ranks.
