Best web design agencies in Tennessee

Tennessee has four distinct agency markets: Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga, each shaped by its own industries, from healthcare and music in Middle Tennessee to logistics in Memphis and tourism near the Smokies. For a larger build with Shopify or HubSpot in the mix, Pyxl in Nashville is a strong fit; for a design-led WordPress site with a branding focus, look at Pen & Mug; and for enterprise ecommerce or complex custom development in West Tennessee, Lokion in Memphis has been doing that work for a long time. The rest of the list covers smaller budgets and every corner of the state.

How we put this list together

We used directories and search to find candidates, then checked every agency against its own website. We confirmed the site is live and current, that web design or development is a real service, and that the agency states a Tennessee location. This is not a paid ranking, the agencies are not ranked against each other, and we have no business relationship with any of them.

Tennessee web design agencies at a glance

The agencies

Pyxl (Nashville)

Pyxl lists its main office on Demonbreun Street in Nashville, with a second office in Charleston. Its services span brand and creative, websites and platforms, marketing and demand generation, strategy and research, and integrations. Platforms it names include Shopify, HubSpot and Klaviyo, and its client work covers website builds, UX and UI design, design systems, and hosting and support. It serves a wide range of sectors, from software and healthcare to manufacturing, retail and hospitality.

Landslide Creative (Nashville)

Landslide Creative is a Nashville studio, meeting by appointment at an office on Centennial Boulevard, that focuses on custom WordPress design and development. It has built its own page-building tool on top of native WordPress, which can make editing easier for in-house teams. Beyond web, it offers digital strategy, graphic design and illustration, SEO, copywriting, video and photography. The sectors it highlights are museums and cultural institutions, nonprofits, healthcare, and churches and faith-based groups. If you run a mission-driven organization with a lot of content and a small staff to manage it, Landslide is worth an early call.

Pen & Mug (Nashville)

Pen & Mug is a Nashville branding and web studio. Its specialties are creative direction, brand strategy and design, website design and development, and motion design, and it offers retainer arrangements where it acts as a fractional creative department. WordPress is its main platform, with Shopify and Squarespace also on the table. The industries it calls out are events and experiences, software and tech, and nonprofits. Pen & Mug is a good match when the brand and the website need to be designed together, and when visual polish matters as much as function.

Lokion (Memphis)

Lokion is a Memphis digital firm that says it was founded in 2000, with its office on Ridge Lake Boulevard. Its work covers digital commerce, content management systems, custom development, user experience, digital marketing, and AI integration and strategy. It does not list specific platforms on its about page, so ask what it recommends for your stack. Lokion fits organizations with complex needs: enterprise ecommerce, CMS migrations, integrations with back-office systems, or usability research before a redesign. Small brochure sites are likely better served by a smaller studio.

It offers website design, branding, SEO, Google Ads, social advertising, email marketing and AI visibility work. Many of its builds use WordPress so clients can edit their own content.

How to choose a web design agency in Tennessee

Start with what the site has to do, then shortlist agencies whose focus matches. A Nashville healthcare group needs accessibility and a clean approval process. A Memphis logistics or distribution company may need integrations with quoting or tracking systems. A cabin rental or attraction near Gatlinburg needs fast mobile booking before peak season. If you are still weighing WordPress against Webflow, Shopify or a custom build, our guide on how to choose a website platform is a useful primer.

Questions to ask every agency:

• Who owns the website, the hosting account and the domain?
• Which platform do you recommend for us, and why?
• Who maintains the site after launch, and on what terms?
• How do you protect search rankings during a redesign? (See how to redesign a website without losing SEO.)
• What exactly is included in the quote?

The Tennessee angle: the state is long, and its three regions behave like separate markets. A Knoxville agency may know East Tennessee tourism well but have fewer West Tennessee contacts, and the reverse is true for Memphis firms. If local knowledge matters to your project, hire in your region. If it does not, widen the search.

What a website costs

Tennessee pricing tracks scope, not geography. Small-business sites from independent studios commonly start in the low thousands, while custom builds with ecommerce, integrations or large migrations run into five or six figures. Larger agencies with strategy and research phases sit at the higher end, and ongoing care plans add a monthly cost.

The short version

Nashville has the deepest bench, but Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga all have capable agencies, so start in your own region and match the agency's focus to your industry. Compare two or three itemized quotes before you commit. For other states, see the full list of states.
