Geography
"Serving the tri-state area"
A Bay Ridge customer wants proof you come to Bay Ridge. A vague region line tells them nothing and gives Google nothing to match against neighborhood searches.

New York
Web design in New York has one hard job: a stranger on a phone, between two subway stops, has to decide in a few seconds that you are the right business. I build fast, hand-coded websites that make that decision easy, with pages for the neighborhoods you actually serve.
Free: a 30-minute call, an action plan and a price range in writing.
What I see on NYC sitesWhy New York visitors
Why New York visitors
leave in seconds
Speed
Heavy pages on a weak signal
People browse underground, on crowded Wi-Fi and in elevators. A theme stuffed with sliders and plugins loads slowly exactly when your visitor has the least patience.
Legal exposure
Accessibility left for later
New York is one of the places where ADA website demand letters are common. Missing alt text, poor contrast and forms without labels are easy targets.

How the project runsFrom brief to launch
From brief to launch
in four steps
Your morning, my afternoon
New York is on Eastern Time, so my working afternoon in Europe overlaps your morning. Calls happen before your lunch; written questions get a reply within one business day.
Brief and callYou fill in a short brief, then a 30-minute call on Zoom about your services, your boroughs and what a good customer is worth.
Structure and copyI map the pages: services, areas, pricing logic, proof. You approve the copy before any design work, so nothing surprises you later.
Design and buildI design and hand-code the site or build it on a custom CMS with an edit panel made for your business. Three rounds of revisions are included.
Launch and handoverAnalytics, forms and call tracking go live, the domain and code are registered to you, and I show you how to edit everything yourself.

Web design for New York means designing for neighborhoods
New Yorkers rarely search for "plumber New York". They search for a plumber in Astoria, a pediatric dentist in Park Slope, a moving company from the Upper West Side to Hoboken. Web design in New York that ignores this ends up with a pretty homepage and almost no search traffic. I start every project with your real service area: which boroughs, which neighborhoods, which parts of Long Island, Westchester or northern New Jersey you actually reach.
From that map comes the structure. A cleaning company covering Manhattan and Brooklyn might need a page for each borough plus pages for offices and apartments. A restaurant needs a menu that loads instantly and a reservation or ordering link above the fold. A law office needs practice area pages written within state bar rules on attorney advertising. Each structure is different, which is why I don't sell templates. You can see the options on the web design services page.
Speed and phones first
A large share of New York browsing happens on phones, often on a shaky connection. I hand-code sites or build them on a custom CMS made for your business, without a page-builder subscription and without a stack of plugins. That keeps pages light. Click-to-call, a short form and your hours are always one tap away. I don't promise a particular PageSpeed score, but I do build so that nothing on the page slows the visitor down for decoration's sake.
Accessibility is not optional here
Courts in New York see a lot of ADA cases about websites, and demand letters often target small businesses. I build to WCAG 2.1 AA: readable contrast, labels on every form field, keyboard navigation, alt text, sensible headings. That does not replace legal advice, so check with your attorney, but it removes the issues these letters most often cite. More detail on the website accessibility page.
Languages and communities
New York is a city of many languages. I write in English and can also prepare Russian, Ukrainian or Polish versions, which helps businesses in Brighton Beach, Greenpoint, Ridgewood or parts of Staten Island. For Spanish or Chinese pages, your own team or translator provides the copy, and I set up the structure and language switch.
Deadlines, payments and timing
Every project starts with a written agreement, a deadline and staged payments of 30/40/30. A business website usually takes up to 30 days; a landing page for a single offer can be ready from 10 days. North American clients so far are in Canada, and I'm happy to work with businesses in New York on the same terms. If you plan to run ads right after launch, read about Google Ads in New York before the site is finished, so tracking is ready from day one.

your questions
Do you need to meet me in New York to build the site?
No. I work remotely from Europe with businesses across the US, and everything that matters happens on Zoom, WhatsApp and email. Your morning is my afternoon, so a call before lunch your time is easy to book. You get a written agreement with deadlines, and the domain and code are registered in your name.
Can one website rank in Brooklyn and in Queens?
Yes, if it has genuine content for each. I build area pages that explain what you do there, how fast you arrive, which jobs you have done nearby in general terms, and how to book. Thin pages that only swap the borough name rarely help and can look spammy to Google.
Will the site be ADA compliant?
I build to WCAG 2.1 AA as the common reference: contrast, labels, keyboard navigation, alt text, captions where needed. No developer can promise immunity from a demand letter, and legal questions belong with your attorney, but a clean build removes the most common issues lawsuits point to.
Can I keep my old domain and content?
Yes. I don't patch other people's sites, but I build a new one, keep your domain, move the useful content and set up redirects so existing Google rankings carry over as much as possible.
Do you write the site in Spanish, Chinese or Russian?
I write English copy myself, and I can also help with Russian, Ukrainian or Polish versions for those communities in Brooklyn and Queens. Spanish or Chinese copy has to come from your own team or translator; I'll build the language switch and page structure for it.
