A father, a son, and a workshop full of good ideas.
We're Colin and Carson Burns — a dad and his teenage son who happen to be really good at building websites and automations. We live in Aledo, Texas, and we help local businesses look great online and work smarter behind the scenes.
Why we started this
Here's the thing about us: we're not just builders — we're local business owners ourselves. Between the two of us we run Bearcat Turf, Middle School Matchup DFW West, and LNDMRK Drone. We've stood up and operated small businesses doing seven figures. We know exactly what it feels like to need a website yesterday, juggle invoices, chase leads, and wish someone would just handle the tech so we could get back to running the business.
Colin spent the first twenty years of his career in marketing, working with brands like Red Bull, Chipotle, Match.com, and AT&T. He knows what makes a brand click with customers — and how much of that playbook local businesses never get access to because agencies price them out.
Meanwhile Carson — still in high school — was teaching himself how to build software, automate tasks, and ship real things with modern AI tooling. He was already better at it than most professionals twice his age.
One afternoon it just clicked: Colin understands brands, businesses, and buyers. Carson understands how to actually build the stuff. Put them together and you get a two-man team that can quote, design, build, and ship in a week — at a price that actually makes sense for a plumber, a salon owner, or a family-run restaurant.
That's BurnsBuilt. If it says Burns Built, we built it with our own hands (and a lot of smart tooling behind the scenes).
We're entrepreneurs, too.
When we say we understand what you're dealing with, we mean it. These are ours:
Bearcat Turf
Premium artificial turf installation across the DFW metroplex — design to finished lawn.

Youth sports for middle schoolers across the west side of the DFW metroplex.

The whole company, in two people.
No project managers, no account executives. You talk to us — the people building your thing.
Colin Burns
Twenty years in marketing with brands like Red Bull, Chipotle, Match.com, and AT&T. Now runs Bearcat Turf, Middle School Matchup DFW West, and LNDMRK Drone alongside BurnsBuilt. He's the one who will map out your business, nail the positioning, and make sure the end result actually moves the needle.
Carson Burns
Carson is the one in the code. He builds the websites, writes the automations, and has a sharp eye for making things that are fast, clean, and genuinely well-made. He's also a teenager, which means he's got energy to spare.
Three things we do that agencies don't.
We're fast.
Most projects go from "yes let's do it" to live in under a week. We don't drag things out — it's not how we're wired.
You talk to us.
Every call, every email, every question — it's Colin or Carson. No handoffs, no junior reps reading from a script.
We use the good tools.
Modern AI-powered tooling means we can move like a 20-person agency without the 20-person price tag. You get the benefit.
