Website development, SEO and digital marketing for New York businesses
Search 'web design company New York' and you get more agencies than for any other city in the country, most of them priced from a Manhattan lease. We are not one of them: we work from India, invoice in US dollars, and publish the price before you email. If you are looking for a digital marketing agency New York rates have priced you out of, that is exactly the conversation we are set up for — small business website design, SEO retainers and software, delivered remotely.
In one paragraph

Delivery is remote and invoiced in US dollars with a completed W-8BEN-E, so the 30% US withholding does not apply under the India–US treaty, by a company registered for GST in India whose prices are published on this site.

Working with us in New York
What New York businesses run into, and what we do about it
Manhattan rates are built into every quote
Manhattan agency day rates are among the highest in the country, and a Midtown lease has to be paid for by someone — usually the client. A shop in Astoria paying Manhattan rates for a five-page site is paying for the address. A digital marketing agency for small business budgets has to work without that lease, and we do; that is the whole of the cost argument, and we do not dress it up as anything else.
The most crowded local search results in the US
Every SEO agency New York has to offer is competing for the same handful of local results, alongside every dentist, plumber and law firm across the five boroughs. Ranking here takes a sound technical foundation, content that answers the query better than the incumbent, and patience measured in months. Our seo services are priced as a retainer for that reason — there is no honest one-month fix to sell.
Same-day replies are the expectation, not a request
New York clients expect an answer today and a first draft this week. Working from India, our afternoon lands in your morning and the rest of your day runs on written updates — so a brief sent at 6pm Eastern is worked on while you sleep and is usually waiting for you at 8am.
ADA website lawsuits are routinely filed in New York
New York's federal courts see a steady flow of website accessibility suits under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and small retailers and restaurants are named as often as large brands. We build to WCAG accessibility guidelines as standard — labelled forms, keyboard navigation, readable contrast, alt text — because a site that excludes screen-reader users is bad practice anywhere and, in New York, a legal exposure.

Why New York clients work with us
Published prices, before the first call
A focused single-page site starts at $350 and most multi-page business sites land between $1,800 and $4,500; the full list, including SEO and software, is on the pricing page. No 'contact us for a quote' gate — the figures are there to read, in US dollars.
Small business website design that is meant to be found
A site is either a sales channel or a brochure. For a small business website design in Queens, Brooklyn or Jersey City we build the local search foundation in from the start — a Google Business Profile that matches the site, service-area pages only where they are honest, structured data — rather than selling it back to you later as an upsell.
No office in New York, said plainly
We are not in New York and we will not suggest otherwise to win the job. Delivery runs on video calls, WhatsApp and a shared project board. In place of a Manhattan address you get published prices, a GST registration in India you can verify, and code and accounts that sit in your name from the first commit.
White-label capacity for New York agencies
A share of our work is subcontracted from marketing agencies in New York that want a web design agency behind them without the payroll. We sign non-circumvention before we see a client name and stay off your client calls unless you invite us on.

How it works
Questions from New York clients
Do you have an office in New York?
No, and there is no 'New York team' either. We work from India; you get video calls in your morning, WhatsApp during the day and a project board that shows what shipped. If a project genuinely needs someone in the room in Manhattan every week, we are the wrong fit and would say so on the first call.
Are you a digital marketing agency in New York or a web design company?
Both, and a software company as well. The website development company New York clients hire for the build is the same team that then runs their SEO retainer, their WhatsApp automation and any custom software — one team, one project board, one published price list.
Will you withhold 30% tax, or will I have to?
Neither. Payments for services to us fall under the India–US tax treaty, so there is no 30% US withholding, and we supply a completed Form W-8BEN-E so your accounts team has the paperwork on file before the first invoice. Payment itself goes to local USD account details by ordinary domestic transfer.
What is the timezone overlap with New York?
India is nine and a half hours ahead of New York in summer and ten and a half in winter, so our afternoon covers roughly 8am to noon Eastern. Calls sit in that window; everything else runs asynchronously with a daily written update, which suits build and SEO work better than a standing meeting does.
How much does a website cost for a New York business?
A focused single-page site starts at $350. Most multi-page business websites land between $1,800 and $4,500 depending on page count and complexity; ecommerce and custom functionality cost more. The full price list, including seo services and software, is published on this site rather than behind a form.
