We do Laredo web design for businesses whose customers come from both sides of the bridge, many of whom think in Spanish first. We build a site they can find on Google and read in their own language, so more of them call, book or come in.

What a website is for
A website is worth the customers it brings you, and it earns them in two ways. More people find it, and more of the people who land on it pick up the phone or walk in. Lift either one and revenue goes up. Lift both and they multiply.
01Found
Every site we build follows Google's own guidance from the day it goes live: quick to load on a phone, clear about what you sell and where you are, and put together so Google can read every page.
In Laredo
Being found includes the search typed in Spanish, from this side of the river and the other.
02Chosen
Once someone lands, the page has a few seconds to answer what they came for: do you do this, can they trust you, how do they reach you. We lay out every page on how people decide, so each answer is right where they look.
In Laredo
Being chosen includes being read in the language the customer thinks in. A page nobody has to puzzle over is a page people act on.
Across the river
You know a lot of your customers come from across the river. What you can't see from the counter is them deciding where to go before they cross. Here are a few shopping and hotel searches about Laredo, and how often each is typed in Mexico and in the US every month.

When they search in Spanish, the page that meets them is a page in Spanish about what you sell. An English-only site never gets the chance.
What we build
You hear it at the counter every day: most of your customers speak Spanish. The census counts it too. Meeting them on Google takes a real Spanish page for each thing you sell, and that is what we build.
85.9%
of people in Laredo speak Spanish at home, against 13.6% across the US.

Even on this side of the river, the Spanish search for a lawyer is the bigger one.

With Spanish pages
Google can show the Spanish page to the Spanish search, Spanish title and all.
For web design Laredo customers can read in their own language, a button isn't enough. It takes three parts.
Each English page has a Spanish page at an address of its own, such as /es/servicios/, which Google can list by itself.
The blue title and the short line under it are in Spanish, so the person searching sees their language before they ever click.
One tap moves between English and Spanish on the same page, and the site keeps that choice as they go from page to page.
Someone fluent. Either a person on your staff who knows how your customers talk, or a professional translator. They write the Spanish or check it line by line. A machine translation never goes live as it came out.
We build everything around those words: the pages, the addresses, the titles and the switch. The Spanish pages go on the same written quote as the English ones, and which of the two writes the words is agreed on the call, before that quote.
What it runs on
A lot of small-business sites are built on WordPress: a theme, a page builder and a row of plugins on top, each with updates of its own. Add Spanish with a translation plugin and that's one more thing to keep updated, and one more thing every page has to load before your customer reads a word.
In it
Not in it
The same for the English page and the Spanish one.
We build in Astro instead. Adding Spanish adds pages, not machinery.
Astro makes each page ahead of time, the English one and the Spanish one, as a plain page with nothing extra riding along. A phone has very little to load, so the page comes up quickly, even on a weak signal in the line at the bridge.
No theme to update and no plugin to keep in step with the others, in either language. When a price or a photo changes, you change it yourself in a simple editor we set up. That's all the upkeep the site asks of you.
Work we've built
Your customers aren't one crowd. One site has to give each kind of person their own clear way in, and fast. These three builds are in Colorado and Texas, in English, and each one does that job for a different mix of people.

Therapy practice
Two competing websites folded into one, with a front door for parents and another for adults.

Schedule, pricing and sign-up on one page, so a first-timer and a regular both find their part.

Who you'd be trusting
Bullfinch is just the two of us, Kyle and Katie Rutten. There's no sales team and no junior down the hall. The person you meet on the first call is the person who designs and builds your site.
Designs and builds
Kyle designs and builds every page of your site himself. He started making websites when he was 14. He's the one on your first call, and the one making the changes you ask for after it.
Runs the project
Katie runs your project from the first call to launch day: the schedule, the account, and what happens next. She keeps more than 30 clients on schedule at once, so you won't be the one chasing us for an update.
Price and your time
Here's what Laredo web design from us costs: most sites come to between $5,000 and $40,000. If you want the site in Spanish too, that goes on the same written quote as the English, so you see one number for the whole job before you agree to anything.
Most sites
$5,000 to $40,000
How many pages
Each page is written, designed and built, so a page for every service costs more than a short site.
Booking or payments
Letting customers book a time or pay you on the site is more work, and it shows in the price.
The Spanish version
A Spanish page for each English one. It sits on the same quote, so the price you sign covers both languages.
A site under ten pages takes four to six weeks to build. Nearly all of that time is ours. Yours is one call and the preview links on your phone. The Spanish also needs a fluent speaker: someone on your staff, which takes their time, or a professional translator, which doesn't. We settle which on the call, before the quote.
01 The call 30 minutes
Your part
Talk to Kyle on Google Meet about your business and the people who walk in.
Our part
Work out what the site needs: the pages, any booking, and the Spanish.
02 The quote Within a week
Your part
Read it. Then say yes, or don't.
Our part
Put every page and the price in writing, with the Spanish version on it if you want one.
03 The build Four to six weeks
Your part
Open the preview links we send on your own phone and tell us what to change. Whoever checks your Spanish looks over those pages the same way.
Our part
Write the English pages, design and build every page in both languages, and put each change on a preview before customers see it.
Short answers
Before you give anyone half an hour, a few things need settling. These are the questions a Laredo owner tends to ask, each with a short, straight answer.
Anything else, ask Kyle on the callThat comes down to what one extra customer a week is worth to you. One more a week is 52 a year. Multiply that by what a customer usually spends with you, and set the total next to the price on your written quote. We can't promise a number of new customers. Laredo web design in two languages adds Spanish pages for the searches an English-only site can't meet, at a fixed price you know before you decide.
They still look you up before they call. Someone hears your name from a cousin or sees your post, then searches for you on Google to check your hours, your prices and whether you're the real thing. The website is what they find. If it's English only or hard to use on a phone, some of them stop there and try the next place.
No, because Google can't show it to anyone. A translate button only swaps the words in a visitor's browser once they've already landed on your English page. There's no Spanish page behind it, so a customer searching in Spanish has nothing of yours to find.
Everything happens on a screen you already have. Calls are on Google Meet in your hours, Central time. Each change shows up first on a preview link you open on your phone, at the counter or at home, and nothing goes live until you've looked at it. So instead of driving to a Laredo web design company down the street, you meet us on a screen.
Someone fluent, never a machine on its own. That's a person on your staff who already talks with your Spanish-speaking customers, or a professional translator. They write it or check every line. We settle which on the call, before the quote, and the Spanish version goes on the same written quote.
Your old links keep working. Before launch we list every address on your current site and point each one at its new page, so someone clicking an old result in Google still lands in the right place. Nobody can promise where Google will rank a page, but the move itself won't leave old links pointing at nothing.
Your part is a call and some preview links. The call is 30 minutes. We write the English pages from what you send and a short conversation, then send preview links as the pages come together, and you look them over on your phone when it suits you. The Spanish takes a fluent speaker's time on top of that: your staff's, if they write it, or a professional translator's.
Book the call
Take 30 minutes on Google Meet with Kyle, who would design and build your site himself. Every Laredo web design job we take on starts with this call.
On the call
We search for what you sell in English and in Spanish, typed the way a customer on either side of the river would type it.
On the screen
We look at what they find together: your site, someone else's, or nothing they can read.
Within a week
You have a fixed quote in writing. Whether you go ahead is up to you.
Every month your site stays English-only, those Spanish searches go to whoever answers them in Spanish.
