Tex's Prints
One workshop, two divisions, one storefront that handles both.
Tex's Prints is not accepting new orders at time of writing. The storefront remains live.
What this had to solve.
One business that makes two genuinely different things. Somebody arriving with an STL file to print and somebody who needs a thousand bottle labels want completely different pages, different language, and different next steps. The site had to serve both without feeling like two websites stapled together, and without making a visitor guess which door is theirs.

The parts that do the work.
Divided but unified
Two divisions with distinct visual treatments that still read as a single brand.
File upload to quote
Customers upload a model file and get a printability review rather than a blind price.
Catalog with turnarounds
Products carry starting prices and realistic production windows up front.
Lead capture
A material and pricing guide offered in exchange for an email address.
Local SEO structure
Content and service area pages built around Cypress, Houston, Katy, Tomball, Spring, and The Woodlands.
Operational honesty
A site-wide banner system that communicates order status, including pausing orders when the shop is overbooked.
