EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Web Design doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try Web Design” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Austin retail & consumer goods is a different game.
We’ve run Web Design here. We know what it takes.
Austin retail sites underperform the city's tech-forward shoppers by miles
Austin's explosive growth—58,000 SMBs and counting—has created a retail market where tech-savvy consumers demand best-in-class digital experiences. SaaS founders and tech workers are not forgiving of slow checkouts or clunky mobile UX. Austin's DTC retail scene is particularly competitive, with local brands competing against well-funded national players who have already optimised their conversion funnels. Retailers who invest in performance-first web design capture disproportionate market share in Austin's high-income ZIP codes.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time Web Design has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step

We develop your store with sub-1.5-second load targets, Google Shopping feed integration, and Shop Pay/Apple Pay/Google Pay enabled. Austin shoppers don't wait.
UGC & Cart Recovery System
We integrate Okendo or Yotpo for user-generated reviews and photos, deploy a cart abandonment sequence tuned for Austin's weekday evening peak shopping window.
CRO & Austin Growth Tracking
Monthly A/B testing on product pages and checkout variants, plus seasonal campaign landing pages for Austin's major retail moments—SXSW, ACL, and Back to School.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.
| Omakaase | What we hear from most agencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |
| Who's on your account | ✓ Senior strategist. Doesn't rotate. | Account manager, often junior, rotates 6–12 months |
| Reporting cadence | ✓ Weekly Loom video + live dashboard | Monthly PDF report |
| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |

“Our old site was converting at 1.2%. The new one converts at 3.8% on the same traffic. The ROI paid for itself in the first month. I wish I'd done this two years ago.”

“They pushed back on every one of my bad ideas and were right every time. The version they built looks nothing like my original brief — and it's infinitely better.”
Fiona R.

“Page load went from 4.8 seconds to under 1.2. The SEO impact was visible within weeks. Speed isn't just a UX issue — it's a revenue issue. They understood that.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How do Austin tech workers shop differently from consumers in other cities?
Austin's tech workforce has extremely high UX expectations—they use software products every day that set the bar. They abandon sites with slow load times, required account creation before checkout, and payment methods that aren't Apple Pay or Shop Pay. Our Austin builds are specifically designed against these patterns.
Should we prioritise Shopify or a custom build for an Austin retail brand?
Shopify is our default for Austin retail brands because its ecosystem (Shop Pay, Google Shopping, Klaviyo) matches Austin shopper expectations. Custom builds make sense only for brands with highly unique product configuration needs or marketplace integrations that Shopify can't support.
Is Instagram Shopping important for Austin DTC brands?
Very important. Austin's 25–38 demographic is highly active on Instagram and TikTok. We integrate Instagram Shopping and TikTok Shop on all DTC builds targeting this demographic so your social content is directly shoppable.
How do you handle SXSW and ACL seasonal traffic spikes?
We build your store infrastructure to handle 5x normal traffic without degradation. We also create campaign landing pages for SXSW and ACL seasons 4–6 weeks in advance so you capture early search demand from visitors planning their Austin trips.
What makes Austin retail SEO different from other Texas cities?
Austin has extremely high search demand growth—31% YoY—driven by rapid population influx. New residents actively searching for local retail alternatives to national chains is a massive SEO opportunity. We optimise for Austin neighbourhood-specific and lifestyle-specific search terms that big-box retailers ignore.
