Websites for McKinney's Historic Downtown and Growing Industry
McKinney has two personalities. There's the historic downtown square, full of independent shops, restaurants and festivals, and there's a fast-growing city of more than 230,000 people with a serious industrial base led by aerospace and defense. We build websites for both: storefronts that fill tables and B2B sites that win contracts.
Two McKinneys: Historic Square and Booming Suburbs
McKinney is the county seat of Collin County, and its downtown square still centers on the Old Collin County Courthouse, built in 1874 and now home to the McKinney Performing Arts Center. The streets around it are lined with independent boutiques, restaurants and galleries that draw visitors for events like Oktoberfest and the Texas Music Revolution.
Around that historic core, the city has grown fast. McKinney had 195,308 residents in the 2020 Census and an estimated 236,000 by 2025, and the Census Bureau ranked it the nation's fourth-fastest-growing large city in the 2010s. Neighborhoods like Craig Ranch and the corridors along US-75, US-380 and the Sam Rayburn Tollway are full of families, clinics, contractors and professional offices.
Those two markets need different websites. A downtown restaurant needs menus, hours and event pages that look great on a visitor's phone. A service business in west McKinney needs service pages, reviews and a quick quote form. We build each one for the customer it serves.
McKinney is also becoming easier to reach. McKinney National Airport already handles hundreds of general aviation flights a day, and commercial airline service is set to begin in late 2026. More business travelers and visitors mean more searches for places to stay, eat and meet, and for local suppliers that visiting companies can trust.
Websites for McKinney's Manufacturing and Defense Suppliers
McKinney's largest employer is Raytheon, with around 4,200 employees, and the city is also home to Encore Wire, Globe Life and a growing manufacturing base near McKinney National Airport. Behind those names is a network of machine shops, electronics suppliers, engineering firms and service providers that sell business to business.
For these companies, the website is often the first stop in a supplier evaluation. Buyers want to see capabilities, certifications, equipment and quality systems before they ever request a quote.
