We build custom websites.
Our websites are custom-tailored to the client and built from scratch—we don’t use cookie-cutter templates or DIY “website builders”—We. Write. Code. We believe our clients deserve to stand out from their competitors, not look just like them.
We build affordable websites.
Our fees are typically one-third to one-half of what our competitors charge, and we deliver better-looking, better-performing websites. Optionally, most of our clients ask us to host and manage those websites so they can focus on running and growing their businesses.
Our websites load faster and look better.
With combined backgrounds in software development and visual design, we are uniquely qualified to deliver the high-performance websites that search engines like—and the beautiful, engaging websites that humans like—all in one fell swoop.
We are accessible and responsive.
Your website is a lifeline for your business; when you need help, you shouldn’t have to deal with AI chatbots, endless on-hold music, or overseas tech support reading from a script. As a Lost Highway Media client, you will always have access to a human being who can fix your problem today.
We rate higher for client satisfaction.
But don’t take our word for it: browse our work and our client testimonials. At Lost Highway Media we go the extra mile because there are no traffic jams there. We don’t use hard-sell tactics, we will never share or sell your private information, and we are easy to communicate and work with.

We stay abreast of the ever-changing landscapes of design and technology to keep our clients ahead of the curve.
We are creative. We are technical. We thrive at the convergence of art and tech, and we are genuinely excited about lifting our clients out of the white noise and into the vista. After all, shouldn't your website work as hard for your company as you do?

YOUR TOP CHOICE WEB DESIGN COMPANY IN AUSTIN, TX
31 Years of Web Expertise • We build websites that are...
BEAUTIFUL, & HANDCRAFTED We don't use templates—We. Write. Code.
Our clients have learned from experience to avoid web design companies that proclaim, "We are WordPress experts." Professional websites are handcrafted and custom-tailored to the client. We listen, we learn, and we deliver websites that work as hard for our clients' businesses as they do. And we do it all at a fraction of the cost of our competitors.
RESPONSIVE & COMPLIANT We follow the standards, you reap the benefits.
Google and other organizations set the technical standards to which modern websites must adhere to gain visibility and relevance. Our clients reap the benefits of those standards, along with proven best practices, to produce secure websites that load fast, work reliably, and look great on all device screens.
FLEXIBLE & SCALABLE When business grows, shouldn't your website?
You shouldn't have to build a new website at every milestone of business growth. Many of our clients started out with static "calling card" websites that have grown into dynamic, data-driven powerhouses. We start every project on a solid, scalable foundation built to support growth.
"Brian does impeccable work; we love his style and how personable he is, going above and beyond to keep the client happy—he just makes it happen. Highly recommended; you won't be disappointed."

CUSTOM WEB SOLUTIONS FOR TRAVIS COUNTY
Web Design in Austin, TX and Beyond
Austin, Texas began as a small riverside settlement in the 1830s and grew into the state capital with a bold, independent spirit that still defines it today. From its early days as a center of government and education, Austin steadily attracted artists, innovators, and entrepreneurs drawn to its creative energy and natural beauty. In recent decades, the city has blossomed into a global hub for technology, music, film, and higher education. At Lost Highway Media, we don’t just build websites; we build the digital infrastructure for the fastest-growing tech hub in America. From the high-rise energy of Downtown Austin to the rapid expansion of the North Austin Tech Corridor, we provide custom web solutions that reflect the unique and colorful "Keep Austin Weird" spirit while delivering "Silicon Valley" performance.
As Austin evolves with major developments like the Tesla Gigafactory and Samsung’s Taylor expansion, your digital presence needs to be as ambitious as the city itself. We are laser-focused on:
- Mobile-First Performance: Optimized for the 2026 searcher grabbing lunch at Fareground or waiting for a show at the Moody Center.
- Hyper-Local SEO: We don’t just target "Austin web design"; we build authority for your specific neighborhood, ensuring you show up in Google's "Map Pack" for the customers closest to you.
- Scalable Infrastructure: Just as the Sail Building has changed the skyline, our modern frameworks are built to grow with your business.
Our aim is to deliver the highest quality web design in Austin, across Texas, and throughout the United States, and our clients will tell you we hit the mark. We've designed and developed for the web since it first came to prominence in the mid-1990s. We've been through all of the technological advancements and design trends; we've seen what works and what doesn't. Coming from strong visual design and software engineering backgrounds, we are uniquely positioned to deliver beautiful, modern, responsive, standards-compliant web solutions at a fraction of what our competitors charge.
We launch responsive websites that are visually compelling, user-friendly, standards-compliant, and scalable. Many of our clients have started out with static "calling card" websites that have grown into dynamic, data-driven powerhouses. We proudly add the websites we build to our own portfolio so potential clients can see the quality of our work.
We are creative. We are technical. We thrive at the convergence of art and tech, and we are genuinely excited about delivering the best web design in Austin, Texas.

Lost Highway Media—What's in a Name?
Our name was chosen to convey a sense of clear thought and lofty vision, sweeping vistas along the less-traveled road that leads to soaring heights and new destinations. The name signifies our preference for an "off the beaten path" approach: We know how to write the code required to build professional websites, and that's what we bring to web design in Austin, Texas. We believe our clients deserve durable solutions, custom-built for their brands and businesses, rather than the usual "Frankensteined" WordPress template websites everyone else builds—the ones that cause headaches from day one.
We partner with our clients to deploy the three-point strategy that consistently produces website success in 2026: (1) Build a beautiful, responsive website, (2) Launch it on a robust, enterprise-level platform with ongoing care to keep it up-to-date and running at peak performance, and (3) Deploy effective SEO strategies to land it, and keep it, at the top of organic search engine results for maximum visibility and traffic.
Nothing speaks louder than the words of satisfied clients, so we encourage you to browse our work, read our client testimonials, and let us know what we can do to earn your business and become your first choice web design company in Austin, Texas.
