Is the Spanish copy native, or just translated?

Native, when you need it. Most NYC neighbourhoods that warrant Spanish copy are Caribbean-influenced (Washington Heights, parts of the Bronx) or Mexican-influenced (Bushwick, Sunset Park). We match voice to neighbourhood, not the abstract idea of 'Spanish'.

Can the site take orders without a separate POS or booking platform?

Yes. The Commerce plan integrates Stripe and Square so a Bushwick boutique sells online and a West Village restaurant takes deposits — without a monthly fee to a separate platform. For takeout and delivery, we integrate with whichever local provider you already use.

Is the site ADA-compliant out of the box?

Yes. Every site we build hits WCAG 2.2 AA. We also keep an audit trail and remediation log for the (sadly common) case of a demand letter from one of the law firms that scrape NYC business sites.

What happens if I cancel — do I lose my content?

No. You own the domain and content. We export the site files and transfer the domain to any registrar you nominate. Thirty days' notice; no exit fee.

01New York context

Why NYC websites get held hostage by their builders.

NYC's small-business website history is the same story repeated five boroughs over: a custom site built four years ago by a freelancer who now charges $200/hr for a copy change, a Squarespace template that hasn't been touched since the freelancer ghosted, or a $30k agency build that the owner is still paying off. The current site looks tired, the rebuild quote is another $30k, and the owner just wants to add a holiday hours block.

NYC agency rates start around $15 000 for a real custom build and run well past $80 000 for a brand-led one — plus a retainer that gets re-quoted every year. For a four-person East Village restaurant or a SoHo boutique, the agency price is roughly the salary of a great seasonal hire. The website always loses that math.

We build EN/ES bilingual where it matters (Washington Heights, Bushwick, parts of Queens) and English-only where Spanish copy doesn't earn its keep (Upper East Side professional services, certain FiDi B2B). One monthly fee in USD covers design, hosting on a global edge network, the .com domain, and ongoing updates by email — including the borough-aware visual sensibility that out-of-town agencies miss.

02Local context

What we typically build.

Hospitality & restaurants

Restaurants, cocktail bars, café roasters

Menus that update via email, opening hours linked to public holidays (and the random Wednesday-night close), structured data for restaurant snippets, and a reservation route that lands a real booking — not a Resy-equivalent that takes another monthly fee.

Boutiques & lifestyle

Boutiques, gyms, lifestyle storefronts

Mobile-first product pages, Stripe and Square checkouts, courier integrations for inside-NYC same-day, plus an Instagram-aware photo pipeline that keeps the site looking current without a creative director on staff.

Professional services

Therapists, consultancies, small legal practices

A clear positioning page, structured data for review snippets, an intake form that doesn't lose state on the third browser refresh, and a contact route that ends in a calendar booking — not a phone tag with the receptionist.

03What it costs in NYC

USD-billed, bilingual where it counts, hosted globally.

Starter from

$22/ month

Billed in US dollars. Annual prepay saves you a meaningful slice off the monthly rate — exact saving shown on the pricing page. No setup fee on any plan; cancel with 30 days' notice and keep your domain.

Payment options

Stripe · Square · PayPal · Authorize.net

Stripe and Square for cards (the gateway mix NYC small businesses already use), Apple Pay and Google Pay enabled by default, and proper sales-tax handling for NYC and NY State where applicable.

Compliance handled

NY SHIELD-aware data handling · WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility · ADA-aware

NY SHIELD Act-compliant data handling, cookie consent banner, structured data for restaurants and product listings, accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA. NYC's volume of ADA-related demand letters makes accessibility a tangible business risk; we build to mitigate it on day one.
