Temple · Belton · Waco · I-35 Corridor
Web Design for
Temple, TX
and Central Texas.
We're based in Killeen, about 30 minutes up I-35. Local enough to know the Central Texas market, experienced enough to build for any business in it. Custom websites starting at $500. No templates, no agencies.
Who We Are
Not an Austin agency.
Actually from this area.
Str8shift Digital is a veteran-owned web design agency based in Killeen, TX. Co-founder Michael is active duty Army at Fort Cavazos, building websites between everything else he has going on. The other co-founder, Isaac, handles the creative side. They started this because good businesses kept getting priced out of professional web design.
Temple is 30 minutes from us on I-35. Belton is on the way. Waco is about an hour. We're not parachuting in from a big city and marking up our rates to cover the drive. We're genuinely part of this corridor. We know the Scott & White ecosystem, we know the Baylor effect on Waco, we know what the I-35 growth corridor is doing to Bell County.
When you hire us, you're working directly with Michael and Isaac, not a project manager and a team of freelancers you'll never meet. That means faster turnaround, clearer communication, and a final product that actually reflects what you told us you wanted.
Fast delivery
Most projects are done in 2–4 weeks. Not months. We respect that your business has timelines.
Built from scratch
Every site is custom. We don't sell you a $29 theme and call it a website. You get something built for your business specifically.
SEO that actually works
We build with local search in mind from day one. Structured data, fast load times, clean markup. The stuff that actually moves the needle.
No hidden costs
You get a real quote with real numbers before we start. Landing pages from $500. Full sites from $1,000. E-commerce from $2,000.
Veteran-owned, no BS
We say what we mean and we do what we say. No agency runaround. Military and veteran discount available. Just ask.
Temple & Belton
Who we build for in
Temple and Belton.
Temple is Central Texas's healthcare anchor, and Belton is one of the fastest-growing cities in the state. Both markets have businesses that are ready to grow. They just need a digital presence that matches their ambition.
Healthcare & medical practices
Temple is the healthcare hub of Central Texas. Scott & White brings patients from across the region. If you're a clinic, specialist, or allied health practice, your website is your referral engine.
Law firms & professional services
Bell County's professional services sector is growing. A website that looks like you actually invested in it closes more clients than one that looks like a 2015 WordPress site.
Retail & local shops
Temple's downtown has real momentum. If you're a brick-and-mortar business and you're not showing up in local search, you're leaving customers on the table.
Restaurants & food businesses
Whether you're on Central Ave or serving the Belton/Temple corridor, a fast, mobile-optimized site with your menu and hours is non-negotiable.
Construction & trades
The I-35 corridor is building fast. Contractors, landscapers, and trade businesses in this market need sites that generate leads, not just look pretty.
Faith organizations & nonprofits
Temple and Belton have a strong community fabric. If you run an organization that depends on people finding you and trusting you, your website needs to match that.
Waco
Waco is a different market.
We know that too.
Baylor University, Magnolia tourism, and a downtown that's reinventing itself — Waco businesses are competing for attention from a wider audience than most Central Texas cities. We know how to build for that.
Baylor-adjacent businesses
The university brings a steady stream of students, faculty, and visitors who search for everything online. If you're near McLane Stadium or the Baylor campus, local SEO matters a lot.
Tourism & hospitality
The Magnolia effect is real. Waco gets tourists now. If you're in hospitality, food, or retail, your website competes with destinations.
Creative & media businesses
Waco's creative economy has grown significantly. Photography, video, art, design. If your work is visual, your website has to be too.
Professional services & consulting
Growing city, growing professional class. If you're a consultant, advisor, or B2B service provider in Waco, a credible web presence opens doors.
We also work with clients in Georgetown, Round Rock, Austin, and anywhere else in Texas and nationwide. If you found this page searching for a web designer, you've found one.
Pricing
What it actually costs.
No runaround.
The Temple and Waco markets have a lot of options for web design, from college students charging $200 to Austin agencies charging $15,000. We sit in the range that makes sense for serious small businesses: professional quality at a price that doesn't require a second mortgage.
Every project starts with a free quote. We look at what you actually need — not what we can upsell you, and give you a number before we do anything. If it's not in your budget, we'll tell you what is.
Military, veteran, or nonprofit? Mention it. The discount applies automatically.
Landing Page
From $500One focused page that converts. Ideal for a service launch, a campaign, or a new business that needs a professional presence immediately.
Full Website
From $1,000Multi-page site with everything your business needs: about, services, contact, portfolio, or whatever fits your model. Built clean and built to be found.
E-commerce Store
From $2,000Online store with Stripe payments, product management, and a checkout your customers will actually trust. Print-on-demand integration available.
Branding & Identity
From $400Logo, color system, typography, and brand guidelines. You own all the files. No subscription to a tool that holds your assets hostage.
