How Much Web Design Cost in Texas: Analyzing Hourly Rates in 4 Largest Cities

Texas has contributed to the American tech industry a lot in the past several years. Many tech giants such as Oracle or Tesla have moved into some of the largest cities of the state leaving behind California. Web Design Companies and Agencies also deserve special attention, as their number in Texas bloom. It may be because of the tax policies, or there could be some other reason behind it. But is web design more affordable in Texas? And if yes, in what city? That’s what we’ve also been trying to find out by breaking down the data into pieces. 

The research is based on TechBehemoths data that pulls together 700+ web design companies and agencies across all Texas cities. And the first thing to do was to identify how much web designers in Texas charge per hour.
