What Houston business owners ask us.

Web design is included in our Fractional Marketing Team retainer ($1,500 - $5,000/month depending on scope). That retainer also covers strategy, automation, content, and hosting. If you need a standalone website build, we still offer those on a project basis - every project is scoped and quoted after a free 20-minute strategy call. No surprises, no scope creep.

It's an outsourced marketing department that works for your business. One retainer covers everything: web design, marketing automation, content updates, hosting, and quarterly strategy. You get a full team at a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house. Retainers run $1,500 - $5,000/month with a 90-day initial commitment, then month-to-month.

$499 setup plus $59/month for hosting on our private automation server. Setup covers strategy, workflow design and build, form integration, and testing. The monthly fee covers hosting, monitoring, and one monthly performance review. This is a productized service with a defined scope. Licensing the equivalent tool stack separately (workflow engine, SMTP, managed VPS, CRM seat) would cost more than $59/month on its own.

Typical builds take 3-6 weeks depending on scope. We move fast because we're a focused team that ships, not a large agency that schedules meetings about meetings. Here's how the timeline breaks down: Week 1 — strategy and design; Weeks 2-3 — development; Week 4 — revisions and testing; Week 5 — launch and handoff. Most clients have a live site within 30 days of kickoff.

We'll need your logo files (or we can design one), any existing brand assets or style guidelines, your domain login, and a list of pages you want. For copy, we can write it for you (included in most packages) or you can provide your own. We send a clear onboarding checklist at kickoff so nothing gets missed.

If you're on our Fractional Marketing Team retainer, ongoing site updates are included - no quoting every change. For standalone project clients, every build includes 30 days of free revisions after launch. After that, content edits and design changes are quoted separately. Our hosting plan keeps the site running and secure but does not include edits.

One flat monthly rate covers: fully managed enterprise hosting, SSL certificate, daily backups, plugin and core software updates, security monitoring and malware scanning, and 24/7 uptime management. This is hosting and management only — site edits, content updates, and design changes are not included and are quoted separately or handled under our web design service. Most clients on this plan haven't had to think about their website in years — that's the whole point.

Yes. We handle the migration. We'll transfer your site, set up all the same functionality, test everything, then flip the DNS. There's typically a one-time migration fee depending on the complexity of your current site.

We monitor uptime and get alerts for outages. If something breaks, we fix it — that's what the maintenance plan covers. For critical issues, we respond same business day. For emergencies, you can reach us directly by phone or text.

Yes. FlameGrower LLC is headquartered in Houston, Texas. We're not a remote agency with a local number — we live here, work here, and network here. If you want to meet in person over coffee, we're in.

Yes — cosmetic and general dentistry is a specialty area for us. Bayou City Smiles is one of our flagship clients, and we've built patient acquisition systems specifically optimized for dental practices: appointment request automation, search optimization for local dental keywords, review collection, and more. If you're a Houston-area dentist, let's talk.

Our sweet spot is service businesses with 1-20 employees and $250K - $5M in revenue who want a growth partner, not just a website vendor. That includes cosmetic dental practices, law firms, consultancies, real estate professionals, contractors, medical practices, accountants, and other professional services. We also work with nonprofits, community organizations, and event-based businesses.

HTown Handshakes is Houston's premier entrepreneur networking community, with 750+ members. It's a separate entity from FlameGrower, but run by the same founder — Edward Ferguson. If you're a Houston business owner, it's worth knowing about. Real people, real relationships, monthly events across the city.
