How much does a custom website cost in New York?
My sites start at $500 for a one-page Starter site, $2,000 for a five-page Business site, and $3,000 and up for custom builds with animation or special features. Hosting and maintenance is $25 a month. You always get a fixed quote in writing before any work starts, and a free mockup before you pay anything.
Do you work with businesses outside New York City?
Yes. Most of my clients are in the five boroughs and the surrounding area, and I meet local clients in person, but everything can be done over the phone and email, so I work with businesses anywhere in New York.
How long does it take?
A Business site goes live 14 days after your deposit. Starter sites go live in 5 days. Custom projects like Guayara take 3 to 5 weeks. The mockup comes first, within 48 hours of our call, before you commit to anything.
Who owns the website?
You do. The domain is registered in your name, and the site is yours. If you ever stop the care plan, you keep the site and I hand over everything needed to host it elsewhere.
What about changes after launch?
Small edits (hours, prices, photos, menu items) are included in the $25/month care plan, usually done the same day you text me. New pages or features are quoted separately, always before the work starts.
Where is the site hosted?
On fast, modern hosting that I manage for you as part of the care plan. That includes the SSL certificate, backups and security updates, so you never have to think about it.
Do I need to write the words or take photos?
I write the copy from our call and your Google reviews. Photos of your actual work matter more than anything else on the site, so I'll ask for those, and I can shoot a few on-site if you're local.
What if I don't like the mockup?
Then you owe nothing and we shake hands. The free mockup exists so you never have to buy a site you haven't seen.
