Location — New York City

Web development in New York City, without the New York agency overhead.

We work with New York companies across finance, healthcare, real estate, retail, and startups — building custom websites and web applications with a small senior team instead of a large account structure.

We work with New York companies across finance, healthcare, real estate, retail, and startups — building custom websites and web applications with a small senior team instead of a large account structure.

For NYC companies who want senior engineers, not a project manager relaying messages. Starting at $6,500. Typical timeline: 2–10 weeks depending on scope.

What you get

  • Custom websites and web applications built for your specific workflow
  • Direct access to the people writing the code, not an account layer
  • On-site or in-person working sessions in the NYC area when useful
  • Technical SEO and analytics included in the build, not sold separately
  • Code and infrastructure in accounts you own

How it works

Talk to an engineer

The first call is with someone who will work on the build. Scoping conversations relayed through a salesperson lose the details that matter.

Fixed scope, fixed price

You get a written scope and a fixed price before work starts. Change requests are priced openly rather than absorbed into an hourly drip.

Weekly working builds

A clickable staging environment updates continuously, so progress is something you verify rather than something you are told about.

Launch and support

We stay through launch and the stabilisation window that follows it.

Frequently asked questions

Are you actually based in New York?

IONIAN Digital is based in the New York City and New Jersey area and works with clients across the region and worldwide. We meet in person in the NYC area when it is useful to the project.

How much does web development cost in NYC?

Our projects typically start around $6,500 for marketing sites and $15,000 or more for custom web applications. That is meaningfully below large Manhattan agency rates because we run a small senior team rather than a layered account structure.

Do you work with startups or only established companies?

Both. Our Takeoff program is built specifically for founders who need a production MVP in 2–4 weeks from $9,999, and we also do longer engagements with established NYC companies.

Can you work with our existing development team?

Yes. We take on defined scopes alongside in-house teams — a rebuild of one surface, a performance and SEO pass, or an AI feature — and work against your existing standards and review process.
