When Austin needs a welder, it searches like this.
Custom work sells on photos. Make sure your pages match the pieces customers search for, like “metal railings” or “custom gates.”
Let the gallery sell
Remodels and custom homes can mean railings, stairs, gates, and accent pieces, and designers and builders will want to see your finished work before they call.
Big industrial sites like Tesla’s Giga Texas in Del Valle and Samsung’s chip plant in Taylor, northeast of Austin, both sit along the SH 130 corridor. If your shop does structural or contract fabrication, say so.
For custom work, the photo gallery is the sales pitch. We build Austin welding sites around your own project photos, grouped by type, with a quote form that lets customers describe what they want.
Name your part of the metro.

Under an hour up the road, not across the country.
5W Digital Co. is based in Seguin, about 49 miles south of Austin, with SH 130 as the direct route. We’re not an Austin agency, and we’re upfront about that. We work with Austin-area trades by phone, text, and screen share, and the free audit is a short video you can watch between jobs.
A Google Business Profile that names the parts of the Austin metro you really drive to, with photos from real jobs and services that match your site, is easier for customers to trust than one that claims all of Central Texas.
What Austin welders and fabricators want to know
What if I don’t have many photos?
Start with what you have and add more as you go. Site Care includes up to 2 small updates a month.
Should I target builders and designers?
If they’re your customers, yes. A page aimed at them, showing your finished work, helps.
Do I need online checkout?
Only if you sell products. We’ve built that before, with Stripe checkout for JB’s Fabrication.

Proof from closer to home: Luis Madera runs Cam Collision, a New Braunfels body shop, and we made his website. His words on Google, unedited:
“I have owned a business for 6 years now and never made a website for two reasons, one I have been luck enough to stay busy and the other is because I'm extremely picky with work that I provide and received. Darren built me a website that was just perfect! Everything about it was exactly what I was looking for and more. I am glad it took me 6 years to get one. Any sooner and I would have missed out on his talent. Thanks again”
