NYC website design services

affordable website design

We’ve been building websites for New York City businesses since 2001. Doctors, dentists, therapists, roofers, HVAC companies, attorneys, small businesses. If you need a website that generates calls and form submissions from people searching in NYC, that’s what we build.

Every site runs on WordPress. Mobile-first, fast-loading, and structured for local search from day one. No templates. No outsourcing. One developer handles the entire project.

Built to convert. Every page has a clear path to a call, a form, or a booked appointment.

SEO from day one. Search structure goes in at the sitemap stage, not after launch. We target the queries your NYC customers are actually typing into Google.

Built to last. We use WordPress and Elementor so you can update your own content without calling anyone.

Web Design For New York Businesses

Why New York City businesses choose Big Apple Media

Big Apple Media started in Brooklyn and has worked with businesses across Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island for over two decades. We know New York because we built our business here.

Most web design agencies assign you to a project manager who passes your work to a team you never meet. We don’t work that way. You talk to the person building your site. Every phone call, every revision, every question.

Why Work With Us

web design small business

NYC web design services

Whether you need a brand new site or a website redesign, we build WordPress websites that do three things: look professional, rank on Google, and turn visitors into phone calls or form submissions.

Small business website design Your NYC business needs a website that works as hard as you do. We build custom WordPress sites for shops, service companies, restaurants, and professional firms across New York City. Every site includes local SEO setup, Google Business Profile integration, and mobile-first design. We structure your pages around the services and locations your customers are actually searching for, so you show up when it matters. Not a template with your logo dropped in.

Medical and healthcare web design We build websites for NYC medical practices, dental clinics, therapists, and holistic health practitioners. Patient-focused design with online booking, provider bios, and service pages built to rank for local health searches. We’ve built over 50 healthcare websites in the last decade. We understand what patients look for and how to turn a website visit into a booked appointment.

Website redesign Your current site is slow, outdated, or not generating leads. We rebuild it on WordPress with modern design, faster load times, and an SEO foundation that gives you a shot at page 1. We handle the full migration, including URL redirects, content transfer, and search engine resubmission, so you don’t lose the rankings you already have. Check out our before and after gallery to see real results.

WordPress development and support Already have a WordPress site that needs fixes, updates, or new features? We handle website maintenance, hosting, plugin updates, speed improvements, and ongoing development. Most of our maintenance clients started as website design clients who stayed because they didn’t want to deal with another vendor. One point of contact for everything.

New York Industries we work with

Different industries have different needs. We adapt your website to the actual problems your customers, patients, and clients are trying to solve when they search online.

Healthcare professionals and medical clinics

We build websites for doctors, dentists, chiropractors, therapists, psychiatrists, and holistic practitioners. Each site is designed around patient acquisition, with clear service pages, provider bios, and online booking. See our NYC medical web design page for more.

Home service contractors

Websites for roofing companies, HVAC businesses, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors. Every site includes service area pages, before-and-after galleries, and quote request forms that generate local leads.

Professional services and small business

Websites for attorneys, accountants, consultants, coaches, and small firms. We build sites that establish credibility, rank for local searches, and convert visitors into consultations.

Reliable training and support

We walk you through editing your own pages, adding posts, and updating content. You own the site and you can run it without calling us for every small change.

Website maintenance and hosting

We build your site, host it, and keep it running. Security updates, plugin patches, backups, speed checks, and content changes. All handled by the same person who built your site.

Invested in client success

We don't just hand over a website and wish you luck. We monitor rankings, check analytics, and give you honest feedback on what's working and what needs attention.

Gene was really knowledgeable and helpful throughout the web design and launch process. He helped onboard me to some project management tools and took the lead when I ran short on time to make sure the project stayed on track. We are very happy with the final product.

I own a small Concierge Home Care company in AZ. Big Apple Media did an excellent job recreating my website in a timely manner. Taking the time to do a detailed sitemap and framework was well thought out and a necessary change that this company understood. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a website upgrade.
Our Simple Web Design Process

How our NYC web design process works

We use a proven process on every custom website we build. From initial call to launch day, there’s no guesswork. You know what’s happening at every stage.

Discovery & Planning

We review your business, your competitors in the New York market, and your Google visibility. You tell us what you need. We build a sitemap and outline the project scope, timeline, and cost before any work starts.

Structure & Design

We wireframe the layout, plan the user flow, and design your site in WordPress with Elementor. You see the design before we build it and approve every page.

Build & Refine

Your site gets built with clean code, optimized images, fast load times, and mobile-first design. We add content, set up forms, and connect tracking tools. You review and we revise until it's right.

Launch & Support

Before go-live, we run through SEO setup, schema markup, sitemap submission, and Google Search Console connection. After launch, you get 30 days of support to catch anything that needs adjusting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brooklyn web design questions answered

Most of our NYC small business websites range from $2,000 to $5,000 depending on the number of pages, features, and complexity. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Visit our pricing page for details.

Most projects take 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch. A simple site can be done in 4 weeks. A larger site with custom functionality takes closer to 8. We give you a timeline during the initial consultation.

Schedule a free discovery call or fill out our service request form. We’ll review your current site and goals, then send you a proposal with pricing, timeline, and scope.

Look for someone who builds sites that rank on Google, not just sites that look nice. Ask to see their portfolio, read their Google reviews, and make sure they handle SEO as part of the build. That’s what we do on every project.

Yes. We build on WordPress, which lets you edit text, add images, and create new pages without touching code. We also provide training so you’re comfortable managing your own site.

Yes. We build your site on a staging URL first. You review every page, request changes, and approve the design before it goes live.

Yes. You own your website, your domain, and all the content on it. We never hold sites hostage. If you ever want to move to a different provider, we make that easy.

Yes. Most maintenance clients host with us because it puts the server, the WordPress install, and the person fixing things in one place. Rates are on the pricing page.

Every site we build includes on-page SEO, local SEO setup, schema markup, and Google Search Console configuration. We also offer ongoing SEO and digital marketing services if you want to invest in ranking for specific keywords.

Most clients write their own. You know your patients and your services better than we do, and we give you a page-by-page outline so you are not starting from nothing. If you would rather not write it, copywriting is a separate line item quoted per page. Existing content that already works stays, and we can edit rather than rewrite it.

We do both, but they are separate projects. Every website includes the SEO basics: clean URL structure, heading hierarchy, title tags and meta descriptions, schema markup, analytics and Search Console setup, and on-page optimization for the pages we build. That is what gets your site indexed correctly.

What it does not include is the ongoing work that actually moves rankings: keyword research, content strategy, competitor analysis, link building, and month-to-month optimization.

We also offer monthly SEO services as a standalone campaign for businesses that already have a website. Advance SEO and monthly SEO maintenance is a separate service many clients opt into once the site is live.

However, many of our clients launch the site and handle their own marketing from there.

Yes. We started in Brooklyn and still work with many Brooklyn and NYC clients, but we build websites for businesses across the entire US. Our process works remotely, so location is never a barrier.

Yes. We’ve built sites for doctors, dentists, therapists, roofers, HVAC companies, attorneys, nonprofits, fitness studios, and more. Browse our portfolio to see examples.

Yes. WordPress powers over 40% of the web for good reason. It’s flexible, you can update it yourself, and it plays well with Google. We pair it with Elementor so you get a visual editor that doesn’t require coding.
