Web design for New York small businesses.
Fast, modern WordPress and WooCommerce sites for New York businesses, built by one developer from start to finish. I work remotely from Poland, with no local office and no middlemen.
Doing business in New York.
New York City is the country’s largest city and its financial capital: Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are here, along with most of the big US publishers, broadcasters and fashion houses. For a small business that means a crowded market. Whatever you do, there are dozens of competitors within a subway ride, and most customers compare you against them on their phone before they call.
For a New York business, I’d start here.
Accessibility first
A large share of US website accessibility lawsuits are filed in New York federal courts, according to yearly reports from firms that track them (for example UsableNet and Seyfarth Shaw). I build with contrast, labels and keyboard navigation checked from the start.
Speed on mobile
Most local searches happen on phones, often on the move. Light pages, compressed images and caching matter more than another animation.
Local SEO by neighborhood
If you serve specific boroughs or neighborhoods, I structure service and location pages so Google can match you to those searches, without copy-paste pages.
Working together from New York.
New York is on Eastern Time, 6 hours behind Poland for most of the year. In practice, 9 a.m. in New York is 3 p.m. in Poland. That leaves your morning for calls, and the rest of the work happens by email, often while you sleep.
You talk to me directly the whole way through. The process is the same as for every client: a free audit, a fixed-price proposal, a staging copy you review, and launch.
New York questions.
Can you build a site that holds up against bigger NYC competitors?
A small business site can’t outspend them, but it can be faster, clearer and easier to use on a phone. That is usually where bigger sites are weak.
Do you handle accessibility for New York businesses?
I do the practical checks (contrast, labels, keyboard use, alt text) and fix what I find. I’m not a lawyer and can’t certify legal compliance, but I can make the site much more accessible.
Do you have an office in New York?
No. I’m Krzysztof Szymaniak, a freelance developer based in Poland, and I work with US businesses remotely, by email and video calls. There is no local office, and I won’t pretend there is.
How much does a website cost?
The same as anywhere else: a landing page from $900, a business site of up to 6 pages from $1,800, and WooCommerce stores from $4,500. You get a fixed price in writing first.
