Stray Dog™ is an independent web studio in Austin. The people who design your site build it, and the people who build it keep it — custom websites for businesses whose work happens in the real world.
A stray knows the city by heart — every shortcut, every opening, every way through that isn’t on the map. The web moves the same way. We read it so you never have to.
You tell us what your business does and what the site needs to carry. We tell you what we’d build, what it costs, and when it starts. One call, honest answers, no pitch theater.
Four weeks, one named person, your notes heard and answered. You’ll never wonder what’s happening with your site — you’ll know.
Launch is the start, not the goodbye. Updates handled within days, replies within one business day, and a site that’s watched by the people who made it — for as long as you’re with us.
The businesses we keep.
Twenty years developing an eye for what makes a brand feel right. Anyone can put a website together. Knowing what makes one stop a stranger — that took the long way.
A template makes you look like everyone who bought it. Every site we ship is drawn once, for one business — and the studio is built so that never changes, no matter how full the board gets. Strays don’t travel in uniform.
A 4-week build cycle. Updates live within days. A named person on every site. Organization isn’t the opposite of craft — it’s how craft survives contact with volume.
A website is a living thing, not a handoff. We host it, watch it, and move it as the ground moves. Launch is where the work starts proving itself.
Drawn from your business, built to stop a stranger. Art direction, type, and layout for one company: yours.
4 weeks from content-in-hand to live, revisions included. Fast, accessible, made to convert.
Hosting. SSL. Security. Backups. Included and invisible — set up once, renewed for you, off your list for good.
4 updates a month, live within days, watched by the people who built it. If something breaks, we’re already on it.
The name comes with a responsibility. Part of every month’s fee goes to pulling dogs out of high-kill shelters and covering their foster care until they’re adopted — through rescue organizations doing that work across the country. It isn’t a campaign and it doesn’t have a season. It’s in the model, the same way hosting is.
Your site keeps a dog.
If it doesn’t stop a stranger, it doesn’t ship.
