Web design in Dallas–Fort Worth

Local enough to understand the business. Modern enough to move it forward.

MannCave.dev is a Fort Worth–based web design studio serving small and midsize businesses across DFW. I build fast, conversion-focused websites and lead-response systems for companies in Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington, Grapevine, Keller, Southlake, and nearby communities.

Every project is handled directly by Houston Mannis—from strategy and copy through design, development, launch, and ongoing improvements.

03Process

Clear steps. Real dates. No theatre.

You always know what is happening, what I need from you, and what comes next.

  1. 0115-minute call

    Find the friction

    We look at where attention or leads are leaking and agree on the smallest useful fix.

  2. 022–4 weeks

    Build in the open

    I handle strategy, copy, design, and development. You get a real link and a clear update every week.

  3. 03No handoff maze

    Launch and improve

    Your site goes live, the response system follows, and every account stays in your name.

04The fit

Small studio by design. Better for the right project.

We will work well together if…

  • +You run a serious local business with real work to show
  • +Your current site undersells the quality of the business
  • +Good leads go cold while you are busy doing the work
  • +You want one accountable partner from idea to launch

Probably not the right fit if…

  • You only need the cheapest page that can go online
  • You need a marketplace, complex SaaS product, or mobile app
  • You want ads, daily social content, and branding bundled in
  • Your approval process needs a large agency team
05Common questions

The useful answers.

What does a small business website cost in DFW?

A small business website from MannCave.dev starts at $1,500. A full build with more pages, photography direction, and local SEO starts at $3,500. Monthly care is $150 a month and it is optional. I quote a fixed number after the 15-minute call so you are not guessing, and I do not bill by the hour.

How long does a DFW business website take to build?

Most DFW business websites go live in two to four weeks from the day I get your content. You get an update every week whether there is news or not. If something slips, you hear it from me before you have to ask.

Who owns the site when it is done?

You do. The domain stays in your name, the code is yours, and I will hand off the whole thing if you ever want to move it or hire someone else. No hostage hosting, no license you have to keep paying to keep your own pages.

What happens with hosting?

Your site is hosted on Vercel under an account in your name. On the free tier most small business sites cost nothing to host. If you take monthly care I manage it for you. If you do not, it keeps running and you keep the login.

Do I have to write the words?

No. I write a first draft from the 15-minute call and you correct it. You know your business better than I do, so your job is to tell me where I got it wrong, not to stare at a blank page.

What does the AI actually do, in plain terms?

It reads the message a new customer sends you and answers it in about thirty seconds, day or night. It asks the questions you would ask, books the appointment, and hands you a person who is already halfway sold. It does not pretend to be you and it does not guess at prices.

Do you build websites throughout Dallas-Fort Worth?

Yes. MannCave.dev is based in Fort Worth and serves businesses across Dallas, Arlington, Grapevine, Keller, Southlake, North Richland Hills, Mansfield, Burleson, Weatherford, and the rest of DFW. Most of the process can happen remotely, and I can visit a local shop when seeing the work in person would help.

Let’s make something useful

A better website starts with one useful conversation.
