Why Stackzeno

What New York founders need from a digital partner

Craft

Built to win the tab comparison

New York buyers open four competitor sites before they read yours. Every project gets senior design attention and a real design system, so the difference is obvious in the first ten seconds rather than three scrolls down.

Performance

Sub-1s load times

Custom Next.js on Vercel's edge network, with real Lighthouse scores on every production build. No Webflow template, no bloated WordPress install, no plugin stack quietly adding two seconds to every page.

Pricing

Fixed price, invoiced in USD

Scope and cost are agreed before we start and itemised in the proposal. No hourly billing, no change order halfway through, no invoice that arrives larger than the number you approved.

Services

Guides

Guides for New York founders

Market brief

What building for New York actually involves

New York is the highest-risk US market for website accessibility litigation, and the buying cycle is short. Both facts should change how the site is built.

Accessibility

ADA website lawsuits concentrate here

New York federal courts see a large share of all US web accessibility filings each year. Building to WCAG 2.2 AA from the start is materially cheaper than remediating under a demand letter, and it is the single most expensive thing to retrofit late.

Data

The SHIELD Act sets a security floor

New York's SHIELD Act requires reasonable safeguards for the private information of New York residents, and it applies to businesses that hold that data regardless of where they are based. It affects how forms, logs and backups are handled.

Speed

The sales cycle rewards a site that answers fast

Buyers here tend to shortlist in a single session. Pricing, proof and a way to start a conversation need to be reachable without a scroll marathon, and the page needs to paint quickly on a phone on the subway.

Testimonials

What founders say

We expected a marketing site. We got a conversion engine. Spend went up, CPL went down - that almost never happens at the same time.

We told investors to just look at the site. It did the talking. That's the highest compliment I can pay a launch page.

Frequently asked

Common questions from New York founders

Yes. We work async-first with founders across the US, including New York. Most of our US clients never meet us in person, and the process runs the same from brief to handoff. All review cycles happen over video call, Loom, or Slack - whichever fits your workflow. We adapt to EST, PST, and CST hours without friction.

We typically start within one week of the brief being signed off. We keep a limited number of active projects so that every client gets focused, senior attention - not a handoff to a junior team. If your timeline is urgent, tell us in the inquiry and we'll let you know our earliest available slot.

Our work is benchmarked against the best coming out of San Francisco, London, and New York. We've built for pre-seed founders, Series A teams, and AI startups competing globally. The output is custom-coded Next.js - not a template - with real Lighthouse scores, real animations, and a design system your team can actually use. See our case studies for proof.

Landing pages start at $1,000. Websites start at $4,000 for a focused marketing site, and full builds with a CMS, blog, and motion start at $9,000. Web apps and iOS/Android builds are scoped from there. AI automation starts at $3,000; a custom AI agent starts at $6,000 plus $400-$1,200 a month to run. SEO retainers are $1,000-$4,000 a month and social is $1,500-$5,000, both with a three-month minimum. Everything is invoiced in USD and itemised in a fixed-cost proposal after the briefing call.
