My Story

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. At HaglerDesigns, our goal is simple: build custom, results-driven websites that help small businesses in Longview and East Texas grow online.

Dakota Hagler has worked as Business Systems Analyst, where he was responsible for leading and advancing IT projects that drive modernization and digital transformation within the organization.

Previously, Hagler worked as a software developer supporting tax, accounting, and other commercial systems. He began his professional career in 2014 as a business systems analyst supporting enterprise IT applications.

Recently, Hagler volunteered to lead a new capability promoting diversity. In addition to working with volunteering through his company, he participates in community outreach programs through his church.

Hagler graduated from Emporia State University with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and a minor in mathematics. During his time at Emporia State, he played football all four years and served the community through various volunteer activities and outreach programs such as mentoring elementary students, volunteering at a local dog rescue and helping the elderly.

Originally from Gilmer, Texas, Dakota and his wife Enilisse married in 2014 and call East Texas home. Today, HaglerDesigns brings that same dedication and developer-grade skill to every client — building custom websites and local SEO for small businesses across Longview and East Texas.
