Agency in Houston.
Web, Shopify, mobile, and brand identity for Houston brands — energy industry adjacent, Texas Medical Center DTC, Gulf Coast B2B, and the city’s multicultural DTC scene. Central Time.
Energy-anchored. Medical-center deep.
Houston runs on energy + the Texas Medical Center — the largest medical complex in the world. Engagement scope reflects: B2B procurement portals for energy supply chains, branded research + content for medical-center research institutions, plus a fast-growing multicultural DTC scene serving Houston’s diverse communities. The brand register is confident, multicultural, often dual-language ready.
Central Time. An 8-hour overlap with our New York book.
Houston runs one hour behind our New York book. We don’t maintain a Houston office — our staffed HQs are New York and Delhi — but our coverage tracks the Houston working day Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM CT, with same-day Slack response and weekly demos. The clock below shows the daily collaboration band between your hours and ours.

How a Houston engagement actually runs.
Every Houston engagement scopes into one of three shapes before any contract is signed, so a Gulf Coast operator picks the shape that matches their stage rather than a generic retainer. Each shape carries a fixed discovery, a named pod, and CT-aligned cadence — weekly Friday demo at 16:00 CT, same-business-day Slack Mon–Fri 9–6 CT. Scope and timeline are agreed up front; we quote against the discovery deliverables, never a rate card.

Two-week discovery, design system, Shopify Admin API build, Plus B2B procurement portal with company accounts, NET-30 + PO + RFQ workflows, SAP / Oracle ERP integration for energy supply chain, launch support.

Multicultural brand identity

Why the Houston stack is energy-meets-research.
Houston hosts more Fortune 500 headquarters than any US city outside New York and Chicago, anchored by ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66, Halliburton, Marathon Oil, Occidental Petroleum, SLB (Schlumberger), and ExxonMobil's 2023 HQ relocation to Spring — the energy-capital density that drives every Houston B2B brief toward procurement, audit, and supply-chain integration. The Texas Medical Center sits beside that energy base as the largest medical complex on earth, with 60 million square feet of clinical and research space, and the multicultural population — more than 145 languages spoken — pulls a dual-language commerce dimension into the same corridor. So a Houston engagement is usually an energy-B2B or research-SaaS build with a multicultural-DTC surface layered on top, not one or the other in isolation.

§ FAQ · questions
Five answers for Houston founders.
Do you have an office in Houston?
Digital Heroes is a remote-first agency with HQs in New York and Delhi plus satellite offices in London, Sydney, and Lucknow. We work with Houston brands on CT hours, Monday through Friday, with same-day Slack response during overlap. We do not maintain a Houston-local office and we will not invent one.
What's a typical Houston engagement scope?
Three standard shapes. A Houston Shopify Plus or custom-platform build runs 8 to 16 weeks Discover-Design-Build-Launch-Optimize. A Houston web-design sprint runs 6 to 10 weeks for brands that already have a platform and need editorial-quality storefront, mobile, and brand system work. A Houston engineering retainer covers monthly senior developer hours with unused hours rolling over. We scope shape and price before any contract.
What kinds of Houston brands do you typically work with?
Our typical Houston fit is operator-led brands across energy and medical center, Gulf Coast B2B, and multicultural DTC. The shared thread is brands above $50K monthly revenue with a real growth roadmap and a named operator we can talk to weekly. We are wrong for pre-revenue concepts that have not validated product-market fit yet, and we will say so on the discovery call.
Will you fly to Houston for kickoff or quarterly reviews?
Yes. For retainer engagements we include quarterly in-person sessions in the Texas metro, either at the client location or at an agreed neutral spot. For one-off Shopify Plus or custom-platform builds we typically include a launch-week trip plus a 60-day post-launch review trip in scope. Travel sits inside the project budget on the original quote, not as a surprise line item.
How quickly can you scope a Houston project?
30-minute discovery call gets booked typically within a week of first contact. Written scope plus fixed-price quote returns within 48 hours of that call. For Shopify Plus replatforms or custom-platform builds we layer a 5 to 7 business day technical-discovery phase before the quote becomes binding, because the migration data model and integration surface area drive timeline more than visible design does.

§ · Houston market
The kind of operator-led brands Houston runs on.
We build for the operator-led brands that define Houston's commerce — names like Earth's Nectar and Belly of the Beast — founder-run businesses that outgrew their templates and needed real engineering.
Independent Houston businesses cited as market context — not Digital Heroes clients.
