TuiSpace

In short

TuiSpace is a Houston studio, founded in 2009, that combines web design and branding with something most local shops do not keep in-house: a 3D rendering team. Engineers, designers, rendering specialists and marketers work under one roof, and each client is assigned a technical project manager and an account executive. Hosting, SEO upkeep and print design are sold alongside. It ranks #4 on our Houston list.

The client list tracks Houston's economy, with energy and geoscience firms such as Wireless Seismic, Northwind Midstream, Vantage Geophysical and Red Stag Resources next to law firms and gyms. For Wireless Seismic it built a multilingual site with 3D product renderings and an interactive geology cross-section. ONG-ISAC, an oil and gas cybersecurity group, gets its website, hosting and conference print from TuiSpace, and developer Kaplan used its renderings and virtual tours to pre-lease new townhomes.

Houston companies with a technical or physical product to show, from field equipment to unbuilt real estate, will get the most out of the rendering-plus-website combination, along with smaller firms that want one vendor for the site, the logo and the trade-show booth. Large organisations with complex software or enterprise UX needs should look for a product design consultancy, as that work does not appear in TuiSpace's portfolio.
