Who's Pixel Lighthouse?

“I can think of no other edifice constructed by man as altruistic as a lighthouse. They were built only to serve.”

– George Bernard Shaw

Pixel Lighthouse is an award-winning nonprofit website agency built on a decade-plus of experience in content writing, web design, and software development. We’re a small, family-owned team that helps nonprofits build websites that guide people from first impression to meaningful action.

A lighthouse isn’t there to look pretty; it’s there to show people where to go. That’s what your website should do for your community: give donors, funders, volunteers, and the people you serve a clear light to follow, from “who are you?” to “how can I help?”

Based out of the Dallas / Fort Worth area of Texas, we work with nonprofits of all focus areas across the US. We only take on projects that we know are a good fit for our expertise and skills. When working with orgs, we devote our full attention to the project to make sure we create a website that drives results for your nonprofit and represents you well, without all the hassle so common to website projects.

Principal

Austin Hattox

Austin began his career at Texas A&M University’s Natural Resources Institute developing websites for conservation organizations and web applications regarding military land use for the Department of Defense. After working for other creative agencies (building sites ranging from large ecommerce stores to international brands), he shifted his focus to working with nonprofits that more closely aligned with his values.

Today he leads strategy and development at Pixel Lighthouse, mapping the journey each visitor takes through a site and building the technology that makes it work.

In his free time, he enjoys learning new languages, tending his beehives, and spending time with his daughter.

Creative Director

Andrea Hattox

Andrea’s love for communication began with the written word, but she knows that meaningful connections are built on more than words alone. She started out as a conversion copywriter but has since embraced a more holistic approach to communication, combining tailored visual design with impactful language.

Outside of the nonprofit website design world, Andrea is a hand embroidery artist, Austin’s partner and Aurelia’s mom, and a lover of all things literature. She cherishes her Japanese roots and takes every chance she gets to visit her grandmother in Japan.

Our Process

Your org doesn’t need “just” a redesigned website.

A redesign that only reorganizes the filing cabinet will put you right back where you started. Instead, you need a website built around the journey your visitors take: one that tells a compelling story, builds real trust, and inspires meaningful action, while staying simple for your team to manage.

Ready for a website that moves your community to act?
