Web, app and AI development in Texas
Austin startups, Dallas B2B teams and Houston industrial firms buy differently. We work Central hours, quote fixed prices and scope to the Texas market you actually sell into.
HandsOnTech builds websites, mobile apps and AI products for Texas businesses from our Sacramento, California headquarters, working daily Central-time overlap with Austin, Dallas and Houston teams. Engagements are fixed-price after a free 48-hour audit, delivered in two-week sprints, with a 30-day bug warranty and full ownership transfer on final payment.
Texas is three distinct buying markets in one state. Austin is startup-dense and design-conscious, Dallas–Fort Worth is one of the fastest-growing B2B markets in the country, and Houston runs on energy, industrial services and large professional firms. The same studio serves all three, but not with the same proposal.
Austin, Dallas and Houston are not one market
Austin buyers want fast MVPs, clean UI and growth hooks (SEO, content, paid) without hiring three vendors, and they are used to phased fixed quotes rather than large open retainers. Dallas–Fort Worth spans Series B SaaS to regional service brands expanding across North Texas, where teams already work with remote vendors and judge on senior capacity per dollar. Houston projects lean B2B and industrial: durable UX, complex forms and CRM integrations matter more than consumer branding, and procurement expects milestone billing. We write a different scope for each, because a proposal that wins in Austin reads as underpowered in Houston.
Why Texas teams work with a remote U.S. studio
Texas has strong local shops, but many staff junior benches behind senior sales. The comparison worth making is capability per dollar and who actually shows up in your standup. Every engagement here guarantees Central-hours overlap, direct access to the designer and engineer doing the work, and a fixed price in writing before kickoff. Contracts, invoicing and IP assignment run through Hands On Technologies, a U.S. entity, so your legal and procurement teams review one clean American agreement rather than an offshore arrangement with unclear IP.
Local search across Texas metros
Texas local search is competitive but far from saturated outside the top few verticals. We build visibility as architecture, Google Business Profile alignment, citation consistency, LocalBusiness schema and city pages with real substance, then extend it into answer engines so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can name you when a Texas buyer asks for a shortlist. For multi-location Texas businesses, the same structure scales to service-area pages per metro without turning into duplicate boilerplate.

Web development in AustinGot questions?
Do you have an office in Texas?
No. Our office is in Sacramento, California, and we serve Texas remote-first with daily Central-time overlap. On-site working sessions in Austin, Dallas and Houston are arranged for kickoffs, quarterly planning and executive demos.
Do you work Central time?
Yes. Standups, sprint reviews and demos are scheduled inside your Central-time business day. Overlap is guaranteed in the engagement, not treated as a best-effort courtesy.
Which Texas cities do you have dedicated pages for?
Austin, Dallas and Houston each have a city page covering the local market, the services that apply there and the price ranges that go with them. We work with businesses across the state, including San Antonio, Fort Worth and El Paso.
Can you work with our procurement process?
Yes. Fixed-price scopes with defined milestones, written deliverables, NDAs, insurance documentation and milestone invoicing are standard, which is generally what Houston and Dallas enterprise procurement asks for before a purchase order is issued.
What does a Texas project typically cost?
The same published ranges apply nationwide: marketing sites $15k to $35k, e-commerce and headless builds $25k to $75k, web apps and portals $35k to $85k, MVP mobile apps $45k to $90k, AI pilots $25k to $50k, and SEO programs from $3.5k per month. Your figure is fixed in writing within 48 hours of the audit.
