Timeline depends on how quickly you provide copy, photos, and feedback on revisions — projects with prepared content often finish in 10 days.

How much does a website from ThunderLoud cost?

ThunderLoud pricing ranges from $497 to $2,997. The Launch Presence package ($497) includes a single high-converting landing page with local SEO. The Lead Growth Site ($1,497) includes up to 7 custom pages, Google Business Profile setup, and booking integration. The Authority Growth System ($2,997) includes up to 15 pages, full English/Spanish bilingual content, and 3 months of local SEO. Campaign Landing Pages are $797.

Does ThunderLoud work with businesses outside the Rio Grande Valley?

Yes. ThunderLoud is based in McAllen, Texas and primarily serves the Rio Grande Valley — McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, and Brownsville — but accepts clients anywhere in the United States. Local SEO packages are optimized for the client's target city, not ThunderLoud's location.

What if I already have a website?

ThunderLoud offers website redesigns starting at $1,497. Most redesigns preserve existing SEO rankings by keeping URL structure and setting up 301 redirects where needed. The team audits the current site's performance, content, and conversion flow before building the replacement on Next.js for speed and search visibility.

Are there monthly hosting fees?

Hosting is included for the first month free with the Lead Growth Site ($1,497) and Authority Growth System ($2,997) packages. After that, optional monthly maintenance is $97/month and covers hosting, security updates, backups, and minor content edits. Clients can also self-host on Vercel for free if they prefer.

What makes ThunderLoud different from other web designers in McAllen?

Three things: custom Next.js builds instead of Wix/WordPress templates (targeting under 1.5 second load time on every site), bilingual English-Spanish capability built into the workflow, and 14-day delivery as the default — not a rush option. ThunderLoud is part of Pioneer Zeal Enterprises, a McAllen holding company, so the team is locally accountable rather than remote freelancers.

Do I need a bilingual (English/Spanish) website for my McAllen business?

For most customer-facing businesses in McAllen and Hidalgo County, yes. Approximately 85% of Hidalgo County residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, and roughly 75% speak Spanish at home. Bilingual websites consistently outperform English-only sites for local service businesses in the RGV. ThunderLoud builds full bilingual English/Spanish sites as a standard option starting at $2,997, or as an add-on ($497) to any package.

What's the difference between a $500 website and a $3,000 website?

ThunderLoud's $497 Launch Presence is a single high-converting landing page — ideal for a new business or a specific campaign. The $2,997 Authority Growth System is a 15-page bilingual website with 3 months of local SEO, custom animations, and priority support. The difference is scope: page count, bilingual support, SEO included, and revision rounds. Both are built on the same Next.js stack with sub-1.5s load targets.

What's the difference between Wix and a custom website?

Wix uses pre-built templates edited in a drag-and-drop builder, typically costing $16 to $49 per month forever. A custom website is coded from scratch, usually loads two to three times faster, ranks better on Google, and allows unlimited customization. Custom sites from ThunderLoud are one-time $497 to $2,997 with no monthly template fees.

How do I get more customers to find my local business online?

Three proven steps: build a fast mobile-friendly website with clear calls to action, fully optimize your free Google Business Profile with photos and weekly posts, and consistently collect Google reviews from real customers. Most local businesses see measurable growth within 60 to 90 days when all three are done together. ThunderLoud's Lead Growth Site ($1,497) bundles all three.
