Based in Estepona, Spain · Serving Austin remotely
\n\n
\n
Austin’s identity has shifted dramatically over the past decade. What was once known primarily for live music on Sixth Street and breakfast tacos on South Congress is now one of America’s fastest-growing tech hubs. Tesla, Oracle, and Samsung have headquarters or major operations here. The startup scene along the East Side and in the Domain district is producing companies that need web presence yesterday. But here’s the friction: as Austin’s tech sector has boomed, so have the rates that local agencies charge. A custom website from an agency on Congress Avenue or in the Second Street District now runs $7,000 to $18,000.
\n\n
Fork IT is a web design and SEO studio based in Estepona, Spain, and we serve Austin businesses at rates that would have seemed normal five years ago, before the California transplants drove everything up. We build custom WordPress websites, manage hosting, and run SEO campaigns for a fixed monthly fee. No hourly billing surprises. No scope creep invoices.
\n\n
The seven-hour time difference between Austin and Spain works like a built-in overnight team. You brief us at 5 PM Central, and by the time you’re ordering a kolache the next morning, the work is done and waiting in your inbox. For a city that prides itself on doing things differently, working with a European boutique studio instead of another overpriced local shop fits the ethos perfectly.

Austin’s small business landscape is remarkably varied. The food and beverage scene, from food trucks on Rainey Street to sit-down restaurants in Mueller, needs websites that look great, load instantly on mobile, and rank for hyper-local searches. We build restaurant and bar sites with integrated menus, reservation links, and Google Business profiles optimized to capture the \”near me\” searches that drive foot traffic.
\n\n
For the tech startups scattered across East Austin co-working spaces and the Capital Factory ecosystem, we build lean company websites and SaaS landing pages designed to convert. Clean design, fast performance, structured data for search engines, and the kind of professional polish that makes a three-person team look like a funded operation. We also handle the SEO that keeps your site visible as Austin’s market gets more competitive every quarter.
\n\n
Professional services firms, health and wellness businesses along South Lamar, fitness studios, real estate agents working the booming suburbs in Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Pflugerville: each has specific needs and we build for all of them. Every site runs on WordPress, which means you own it completely. If you ever want to move on, you take everything with you.

Austin is expensive now. Everyone who lives there knows it. Your rent went up, your cost of living went up, and your web agency’s rates went up right alongside them. Fork IT operates from the Costa del Sol in Spain, where overhead is a fraction of what it costs to run a studio in the Austin metro area. That means we can charge €199 for setup and €129 per month for a fully managed WordPress website with hosting, SEO, and content, while delivering the same caliber of work you’d get from a local agency billing ten times that amount.
\n\n
Our hosting runs on European servers backed by a global CDN, so your site loads just as fast in Austin as it would on a local server. We handle all updates, security, backups, and performance optimization. And because we’re a small studio, not a faceless agency, you work directly with the people building your site. No project managers relaying your feedback through three layers of hierarchy.
