About Our New York City Web Design Company

Why We Build
Websites This Way

We started this because of a pattern we kept running into. A small business would pay four or five thousand dollars for a website, watch it go live, and then discover the real costs. Theme license, form plugin, booking plugin, hosting renewal at the non-introductory rate, and a developer who charged by the hour for a text change. Two years later the site was slow, out of date, and quietly costing more than the build.

So we do the opposite. One monthly price with no build fee, every site written by hand so there are no plugins to subscribe to, and changes handled by email at no extra charge. It works because hand coded static sites are cheap to host and almost never break, which means we spend our time improving sites instead of patching them.

Why Work With a New York City Web Design Company

Why Businesses Hire Us

Custom Coded Websites, No Page Builders

Every site we build is written by hand. No WordPress, no Wix, no Squarespace, no Webflow, no purchased theme. That decision drives most of what makes these sites good, starting with how little code the browser has to download before your page appears.

A typical page builder site sends 2 to 4 MB of scripts and stylesheets, most of which your business never uses. Ours usually come in under 500 KB. On a phone with two bars, that gap is the difference between a page that opens and a person who leaves.

How We Work With New York City Businesses

Small Enough
to Answer the Email

We are a small team and we take on a limited number of new sites at a time. That is a deliberate constraint. It means the person who writes your copy has actually read about your trade, and the person who answers your email in March is the one who built the site in January.

It also means we turn work down. If you need to publish three times a week and edit pages yourself, a page builder is genuinely the better tool and we will tell you that on the first call rather than sell you something that fits us better than it fits you.

What we are good at is the other case, which is most small businesses: a site that needs to look right, load fast, get found in the neighborhood, and then stay maintained without anyone thinking about it. If that is the job, we would like to hear about it on the contact page.

What Every Web Design Plan Includes

Three Things We Do Not Charge Extra For

Most web design quotes carry a build fee up front and then a stack of invoices behind it. Ours does neither. Here is what the monthly price already covers.

See Pricing

Custom Code, Not a Page Builder

Hand written HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No WordPress, no themes, no plugin subscriptions, and no 3MB of framework your business never uses.

Hosting and Security Updates

Fast hosting with SSL, patched and monitored every month. No separate hosting bill and no renewal price jump in year two.

Changes and Support

Email us a price change, a new photo, or a new staff member and it goes up, usually within two business days. A person who worked on your site answers.

Common Questions

What does a website cost?

Plans start at $150 a month and cover design, development, hosting, maintenance, security updates, and support. There is no separate build fee. Full details are on the pricing page.

Why do you refuse to use WordPress or Squarespace?

Speed, security, and cost. Page builders ship megabytes of code your business never uses, they need constant plugin patching, and they add subscription fees on top of what you already pay. Hand written code avoids all three. The tradeoff is that you email us for changes instead of editing pages yourself, and we say that plainly before anyone signs up.

How long until my site is live?

Two to four weeks for a small site, longer for larger ones. The pace is usually set by how fast photos and service details come back from you, not by the building.

Do you only work in New York City?

The five boroughs are the focus, and knowing the market is most of what makes these sites work. We take occasional projects in Westchester, Long Island, and northern New Jersey.

Will my site show up on Google?

Every plan includes local SEO groundwork: clean page structure, a page for each service and each area you serve, fast load times, and Google Business Profile setup. Nobody honest promises a position. What we do promise is that the technical side will not be the reason you are held back.

Do I own the website?

The domain is in your name from day one and the content is yours. There is no contract either, so you can leave any month and we hand over the files.
