Fort Worth Web Design for Heavy Civil Contractors and Commercial Trades

Black Anchor is a boutique web strategy consultancy, not a production shop. I handle every engagement myself, from the first call to launch. Every site is built from scratch around your business. I diagnose the problem before prescribing a fix, and I set the delivery date at kickoff.

Fort Worth-specific SEO, hyper-local keyword research, citation building, Google Maps optimization, and content built to get cited in AI answers. The goal isn't traffic. It's being found by the buyer who's already looking for what you do.

Critical infrastructure, commercial trades, aerospace and defense contracting, and premium development across DFW and Texas. What they share is a buyer who does their homework before the first call: a prime, a city, or a procurement board.

Every project starts with strategy, not a template. I learn your goals, your market, and who you're trying to reach, then design a site that turns visitors into qualified leads. Design without strategy is decoration.

On-page optimization, keyword-rich content, Google Maps integration, citation building, structured data, and directory management, all built around the DFW market from day one. Local SEO isn't a line item I add later.

Yes. Branding is a core service, not an add-on: brand strategy, brand standards, and marketing collateral.

Planning durations from kickoff: Commander 6 weeks; Captain 8 weeks; Vice Admiral 26–40 pages 10 weeks and 41–75 pages 12–16 weeks; Fleet Admiral 12–16 weeks, confirmed after discovery; Master Chief Diver Shopify 8–10 weeks.

The proposal confirms the schedule for the approved layouts, content and integrations. Kickoff requires the signed agreement, initial payment, access and agreed source material. One decision-maker returns consolidated feedback and written approvals by the scheduled dates. Delayed inputs, approvals, payments, third-party dependencies or approved scope changes can move milestones; revised dates are confirmed in writing. Silence is not approval. Launch requires written approval, launch checks and cleared final payment.

Rush delivery is subject to capacity and a written 50–100% surcharge; it requires full payment upfront and is not offered on Fleet Admiral. Recruit is a separate limited case-study offer with its own scope and schedule.

Duda, Wix Studio, Webflow, and Shopify, plus Bubble.io for custom web apps. I recommend the right one based on your goals, your content workflow, and what you'll need in three years. I don't build on WordPress because of its ongoing security problems and bloated architecture.

Standard strategy, branding and website packages start at $8,500. Commander: $8,500–$10,500 for up to 15 pages. Captain: $11,000–$16,000 for 16–25 pages. Vice Admiral: 26–40 pages $16,500–$27,000; 41–75 pages tailored scope from $36,000. Fleet Admiral: custom program, typically 76+ pages or complex multi-division work, quoted after discovery. Master Chief Diver Shopify: $17,500 with the page/catalog inventory agreed before signing.

Your proposal confirms pages, original layouts, copy volume, integrations, review rounds, schedule, recurring costs and the final project price. No mandatory retainer. Recruit is a separate limited case-study offer; accepted proposals retain their agreed terms. See Pricing for complete scope, payment and discount definitions.
