February 6, 2025In the heart of Texas, a digital transformation is taking place. While businesses across the Lone Star State are expanding their online presence, many are missing a crucial element that could make or break their success: Spanish language support. With 40% of Texans speaking Spanish at home, having a bilingual website isn’t just an option anymore—it’s a business imperative.
The statistics tell a compelling story. According to recent demographic data, Texas has one of the largest Spanish-speaking populations in the United States. But this isn’t just about numbers—it’s about community, culture, and commerce.
Rio Grande Valley:
Over 90% of residents are Hispanic, with Spanish being the primary language in many households
Houston Metro Area:
Nearly 38% of residents are Hispanic, driving a robust bilingual business environment
Dallas-Fort Worth:
Growing Hispanic population with significant purchasing power
San Antonio:
Known as the cultural bridge between Anglo and Hispanic communities
When your website speaks only English, you’re not just missing out on potential customers—you’re actively pushing them away. Here’s what our research reveals:
Lost Opportunities
