SEO Houston began in 1999 as a division of TC Web Design , a company owned by Don Horne. TC stood for Town and Country; the first office was near the old Town and Country Mall on the west side of Houston.

In 2004, SEO Houston split from TC Web Design and became an independent company in Houston, Texas, under the direction of Jacob Wissler (photo on the right. On January 4, 2006 we became a corporation, Global SEO, Inc., dba SEO Houston, and opened an additional office in Dallas (Addison), under the direction of Mark Weber. 

In late 2006 Jacob passed away, leaving Mark to run the company.  However, due to probate issues involving the estate of Mr. Wissler, Global SEO, Inc. and the beneficiaries, Global SEO, Inc. and SEO Houston were dissolved, and Mark Weber reformed the company as Dallas Website Design to continue serving the existing client base and build upon Jacob Wissler's legacy.

In addition to search engine optimization, we also build high-end, beautiful websites in India, South Africa, Vietnam and China - please study our secion on Website Construction. We do beautiful Flash designs embedded on an HTML page, and very advanced database programming such as MySql/PHP, Microsoft SQL/ASP, .Net, Sybase, Oracle, Virtual Basic plus content management. This means we can build a $2,500 website or an $80,000 website.

Mr. Shashi John Pinto runs our team in India. Our search engine optimization (SEO) services and customer service are handled in Houston and Dallas, Texas. Local service is essential. Our production work is done off shore, but our clients always have a local Texas contact at every stage of the process.

We see a great future in global SEO. Many companies have websites, but very few have well optimized websites. Entrepreneur Magazine listed search engine optimization as one of the ten best businesses for 2005. Or goal is to help corporate America design their websites correctly for the best possible search engine placement. To be blunt, some very large companies have websites that are not optimized because web designers often do not understand SEO (search engine optimization). What is the purpose of a $30,000 website if not one can find it on the Internet?

SEO Houston is one of the few American search engine optimization firms that has staff with global experience and is qualified to act as an American SEO consultant for overseas firms entering the American market.

Our teams in South Africa, India, Vietnam and China give us a huge price advantage. We can get the job done for less. Quality counts, and our team pays attention to detail. Anyone can make and sell a cheap product. Our goal is to produce a superior product with great customer service for a low price. That means combining the talents of the best web designers and database programmers in India, Vietnam South Africa and China with the best SEO professionals and customer service in Houston and Dallas.

This is modern global SEO but we are a bit old fashioned. Dallas Website Design offers personal service and our sales people wear a suit, every business day.
