Web Design Shreveport-Bossier, LA
NWLA web design. Texarkana studio 75 miles north of Shreveport-Bossier. Flat-rate websites for Louisiana small businesses.
Gnome Labz is a Texarkana web studio that works with Shreveport and Bossier City businesses. Same Central Time zone, 75 minutes up I-49, no large-agency overhead. Flat $500 small business sites, hurricane-resilient hosting, and direct access to the person actually doing the work.
Why a regional studio
Close enough to drive.
Far enough to be cheaper.
75 minutes from the bench
We're a 75-minute drive from Downtown Shreveport. Same Central Time zone, same business hours. For larger projects we can come down for a discovery meeting or content shoot, no extra charge.
We get the local mix
Shreveport-Bossier is a different market than Dallas or Houston. Casino & hospitality clients have different needs than oil & gas service companies have different needs than the LSU Health network. We adapt the build to the industry, not the other way around.
Hurricane-season ready
Every site we build is hosted on Cloudflare's edge network with automated backups. Power outage in your office during a storm doesn't take your website offline. It stays up no matter what happens locally.
No big-city markup
Shreveport agencies typically quote $3,000-$8,000 for a small business website. Our flat $500 build is the same scope, the same modern stack, the same care. We just don't carry large-agency overhead.
What we build
Three ways into the lab.
New website
Flat $500 small business site: 5 pages, hosting, contact form, SEO basics. Live in 2-4 weeks.

Shreveport asks.
Honest answers.
01 Are you actually based in Shreveport?
Are you actually based in Shreveport?
No. We're honest about it: Gnome Labz is based in Texarkana, TX, about 75 miles north on I-49. Most of our Shreveport-Bossier clients work with us remotely (email, phone, screen-share, private staging URL). For larger projects we drive down for kickoff meetings or content shoots.
02 Why pick a Texarkana studio over a local Shreveport agency?
Why pick a Texarkana studio over a local Shreveport agency?
Three reasons: pricing (our flat $500 build vs. $3K-$8K agency quotes), turnaround (we ship Workshop builds in 2-4 weeks vs. 8-12 week agency timelines), and direct access (you talk to the person doing the work, not an account manager).
03 Can you handle e-commerce for a Shreveport boutique?
Can you handle e-commerce for a Shreveport boutique?
Yes. Our Forge tier ($700+) includes full e-commerce with the payment processor of your choice (Stripe, PayPal, Square, etc.), inventory, multi-shipping rules, and Louisiana sales tax handling. We've built shops shipping to all 50 states.
04 What about hurricane-season uptime?
What about hurricane-season uptime?
Every site we build runs on Cloudflare's global edge network. Your website is served from data centers that survive regional power outages. Automated daily backups. If your office loses power for a week, your site stays up the entire time.
05 Do you do Spanish-language sites?
Do you do Spanish-language sites?
Yes. We can build bilingual sites with proper hreflang markup so Google indexes both versions correctly. Cost is the next tier up (Forge $700+) since it doubles the content scope.
06 How do payments work for out-of-area clients?
How do payments work for out-of-area clients?
Same as local: flat rate quoted up front, 50% deposit to start, 50% on launch. We accept ACH, wire, credit card, or check. Invoiced from a Texas-registered LLC, so it's tax-deductible business expense for your Louisiana business just like any out-of-state vendor.
