The Web Design Company
El Refugio, Texas
Does your website work as hard for your company as you do?
If you’re looking for a web design company in El Refugio, Texas that combines effective visual design and technical strategy to produce proven results, you’re in the right place, and here's why:
We build custom websites.
Our websites are custom-tailored to the client and built from scratch—we don’t use cookie-cutter WordPress 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 prices typically range from 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 both software development and design backgrounds, we are uniquely qualified to deliver the high-performance websites that search engines like—and the beautiful, compelling 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, garbled on-hold music, or communication issues with overseas tech support. As a Lost Highway Media client, you will always have access to a human being who is able to solve 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.
To augment our web strategies, we deliver a full range of media services, including graphic design, photography, videography, audio production, and compelling copywriting. We stay abreast of the constantly 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?

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 El Refugio 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 El Refugio web design 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 El Refugio web design 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.
"Working with Brian Burns has been a pleasure. From our initial phone conversation to the creation of our new website, Brian's work has exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Lost Highway Media!"

Web Design for El Refugio, TX and Beyond
At Lost Highway Media, we consider it a privilege to serve valued El Refugio clients across a broad range of professions and industries. From small, locally-owned businesses to large Fortune 500 companies, LHM has built a track record of excellence and client satisfaction by delivering a level of quality that meets or exceeds that of national software firms, but a level of service and value expected only from a small, friendly neighborhood business.

Lost Highway Media—What's in a Name?
Our name was chosen to convey a sense of clear thought and clear 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 El Refugio, 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 professional web design company in El Refugio, Texas.
