Top Website Development Companies in New York, NY

Initially, I received positive feedback and praise, being told that I was highly regarded and an exceptional employee at my workplace. However, to my surprise, just two weeks later, I found myself being terminated from my position. To make matters worse, I soon discovered that many other individuals I knew also faced a similar fate. Despite my initial hopes and the outward appearance of a great work environment, my actual experience at the company was far from enjoyable. Behind the scenes, I was enduring the most challenging period of my life. Looking back, being let go turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It became evident that the organization fostered an environment of toxic positivity, where conforming to their narrow standards was crucial, and anyone who didn't fit into their predetermined mold would be swiftly shown the door. Since my departure, I've come across numerous stories from others who have shared similar negative experiences.

I hired Kobe to write content for, redesign, and redevelop our ecommerce website. Kobe provided one, initial meeting with a few people who I did not work with again. Work was begun on the project by the content writer, who began describing the design in his content, which was posted page by page on Monday.com, which does not have revision or reviewing functionality. Kobe refused to begin the project with (industry-standard) wireframes, which would have provided a simple understanding of the two types of pages and messaging placement to both my team and theirs. Kobe next provided designs, via pdfs in email (i.e. no easy reviewing capability), that looked like simple template websites with no brand feel, according to many laypersons and professional web designers (and me too of course). At this point, with less than half of the work done, I cancelled the project. Kobe unethically did not refund money for the half of the project that was unfinished.

I picked Brand and Mortar due to their reputation, reliability and known resources in the community. We signed a contract in May of 2021, with my needs heavily outlined of building an extensive website with cutting edge plugins and a custom functionality. After numerous follow-ups, they were confident they could meet my needs and we signed. It was extremely pricy, but I knew because of the functionality needed, it was needed. Once the wireframes (website outlines) were approved in October (they looked amazing), it was a contracted 9 weeks until I had my website in hand. I was so beyond ecstatic. Glad I chose Brand and Mortar to create this for us. Well, December rolls around, I want to confirm I will have the website mid January and it's confirmed! My website will be live! Well, they forward the "finished" website and it's a joke. Is is nothing as contracted and then I get told they need more time. So we wait, then the next deadline gets pushed and continues to get pushed. I couldn't wait anymore when I can see they don't have the skills to create when they agreed upon. Up until this point, I've been waiting to hear back from the owner and he won't respond to my emails. The amount I have paid, for this quickly slapped together website is beyond ridiculous. They're communication is severely lacking, the professionalism was there, but slowly dissipated once they received my money. Their marketing background is where they should focus their business when website design is clearly not their expertise yet.

My experience at Bold x Collective has been immensely knowledgeable. The staff actively conducted an effective analysis of the current social media and digital marketing trends for me to strategise my approach to my business. All the analysis was backed up with credible research that assisted in me innovating my marketing approach to my business plan. Communication and meetings was very professional and punctual. Great experience! Looking forward to let my friends and family know about them.

We wanted to promote our online courses with paid ads on Google, Facebook, and Linkedin. We were looking for a professional but affordable company that can create and manage ad campaigns for us. We were looking at other reviews (also on Clutch) which was not a good idea, I may say completely wrong because we feel they are mostly FAKE. We wanted to set up a clear ads strategy, let HTML Pro create and run our campaigns. 3 people from the vendor were involved. The outcome was ZERO! We've spent 2 months, paid 1,798 USD and our experience with HTML Pro was a nightmare. It was not just a waste of time but a waste of money too. The only "achievements" within two months time were: 1. Setting up Basecamp as an online collaboration tool 2. Dozens of e-mails sent back and forward 3. Two short video calls 4. Reminding us to pay the bills, while we paid already 5. Two shocking cheap examples of how Ads could look like 6. Fixing one little bug in our Google Analytics account Within 2 months' time, the HTML Pro Team was not able to set up our accounts on Facebook nor on Linkedin. No FB Pixel, No Linkedin Insight-Tag was installed nor working. Within 2 months' time, and spending 1,800 USD, the vendor still didn't understand our corporate identity, nor our strategy, nor our needs, no nothing. After two months we've stopped wasting our time and money. We've asked for a 50% refund because they didn't even achieve the first-month work promised. They refused it! We feel like we've been SCAMMED.

Riseup Labs sent us a pair of options before moving ahead with the green light and redesigning the mobile applications. Once that was done, they kept in touch with us every week to ensure the work they handed over during the sprints was exactly what we wanted. We had no problem contacting their team, and when we did, they would respond.

I’ve worked with dozens of agencies in the past, but my experience working with Ruckus stands out as one of the most successful agency partnerships I’ve ever had. From their initial proposal to execution and follow up, I was consistently impressed. My company worked with them on some major corporate initiatives that revolved around re-branding (which included the creation of a new logo, brand guidelines, and numerous print and digital materials for B2B marketing) and building out a new corporate website. Ruckus’ team is extremely organized and process-oriented, and I felt that they delivered support and value well above what I was expecting based on our agreement. I was particularly impressed by the early brainstorm sessions where they were able to pull valuable information out of some of our more reticent executives and turn that into a fully-formed vision for our corporate brand. I also appreciated the excellent communication, support, and “can-do” attitude that I witnessed in our day-to-day interactions. I’m very Type A and can be a demanding and difficult client, but they were always receptive to (and patient with) my feedback, edits, and shifting priorities. They have a lot of talent on their team, and they do a very good job of bringing in the experts for each piece of the puzzle (for example, we worked with different team members for different types of projects or different stages of the process). All the while, I always felt as though I was their only client – which is important to me, because nothing is worse than getting a stellar sales pitch from an agency and then seeing the service fall off either immediately or down the line. Ruckus was not only able to execute my vision, but surpass it. I look forward to partnering with them again in the future.

Saritasa is our preferred vendor for project development, on web-based and desktop applications, to active and inactive clients in a wide range of vertical industries. Selecting preferred partners/vendors takes hours of evaluation and analysis of multiple parameters such as technology capabilities, the management team and leadership, the skills set, personal connections, organizational culture, response time and customer service attitude, physical office look, layout and neatness, pricing and a history of success.

For the past 2 years, Levo Health has been our marketing firm of record providing all of our marketing services (web, digital, video, print, lead gen, automation, email...). There are 3 key factors that sets Levo Health apart and above any other marketing firm that I've ever worked with: 1) simply put they know healthcare - From the patients to the doctors, not only do they understand the personas of each group, but their team understands the unique journey that people go on as they start researching medical services all the way through acquisition and ultimately retaining those new patients for the long term through nurturing 2) data driven - Effort is great, but results drive growth. Too many firms are content billing you for hours and focusing on how hard they worked over how much they achieved. Levo Health not only recognizes that marketing is all about what can be achieved, they strive to exceed your goals while also educating and supporting you so that you understand what it takes to succeed in your niche 3) integrations - The teams technical knowledge is excellent. Most businesses and firms suffer from compartmentalization, which often leads to fragmentation of systems and processes. Levo Health sets efficiency as a primary goal and achieve that goal through leveraging their skilled team of developers, product experts, and data analysts to maximize how your business systems can seemlessly support your marketing strategies for automation and continuity of communication with your customers and potential customers.

I feel morally obligated to write a bad review, because I had a bad experience with WFN and originally I couldn't find any bad review when I was first researching this agency before hiring them, so it was a no brainer. Initially WFN was hired to run a deep site audit before initiating long-term work, from the first contact to the end of the business relationship with WFN took around 1 month. In that month, a lot of time was wasted answering questions that showed lack of development knowledge from the manager (yellow flag), but I thought, not big deal, let's keep going. However, when they delivered their "deep site audit", it looked like it was written by a 12 year old with lots of mistakes, and issues about the sites that weren't real issues. Aftermath, the money was wasted, not a single development task got accomplished after 30 days. After that, I went to Upwork right away, hired 2 developer for HALF the price of WFN hourly rate, and the guys got almost all the tasks done in less than the time these guys wrote that low quality report. In other words, I don't recommend this agency. BTW. WFN if your are reading this. This is Leonard S. and the two developers I hired from Upwork didn't have ANY problem connecting the GIT to WPengine and deploying the sites locally, so you guys should probably consider hiring better developers.

STAY FAR AWAY! I used Searchberg for a few projects and let me explain the situation with one and why you should NOT work with the company. 

#1 Your project manager will always be in a meeting when you call, since the time I signed up with them, I have had 3 different project managers and the issue is the same, they will never be readily available when you call, then the receptionist will tell you that they will get a message over to them and they will call back but NO, they won’t call back they will send an email. They keep switching project managers, this says a lot already. 

#2 I purchased a website, with 1 year of maintenance, they should make it clear before you sign up that maintenance is NOT website edits, it's simply making sure your website is up and running (which doesn’t take much time or effort), and any further changes you may need, ex: need product, title change, price change, etc, will come at an extra cost. OK, fine, let's say I was aware of this and was okay with it, when it comes time for me personally to enter the WP backend to make my own changes, I can not access the entire backend because they used a paid theme and kept the credentials for themselves. So pretty much, to enter the backend of the installed theme that they purchased to create the site, I need the credentials for it, I asked them for it considering the website is MINE and I paid for FULL OWNERSHIP of it, they are requesting I pay to get the credentials for the theme backend. SO now, I am stuck in this circle where they tell me I need to pay for further edits or do the edits myself, then I try to do the edits myself, and OH! I can’t because I don’t have access to it. What a pickle. #3 Their communication is extremely poor and email responses take several days. #4 They do not provide any additional value. They won’t provide recommendations on how to make your website better, nothing. As a matter of fact, they literally do what you tell them and if you are not a website expert they will create a poorly designed site based on your requests when in fact, a trustworthy agency would give pointers as well as provide feedback on why certain things should NOT be done on your site. #5 They promise mobile-friendly sites and DO NOT produce it. I have requested over several weeks to have my website edited based on what I paid for, MOBILE FRIENDLY, and they ignore my requests. Do not do business with them.

Cloudester developed our website from scratch along with our online order management system and kitchen order system. We were assigned a dedicated project manager who was always on top of things and communication was seamless. The system has been working well for years now and we have been able to add various modules as per our business needs. We are able to discuss and communicate with their entire team on Slack and will be continuing working with them for the foreseeable future. Highly recommend their services for custom software development.

Our company has worked with Net Solutions for over 11+ years and I can personally attest to their dedication and critical thinking in building our products. As of this day that I write this, the world is actively dealing with the wide-ranging impacts of Covid-19 and many business operations have been left surprised during these unprecedented times. I can proudly say that there was no surprise here, our work with Net Solutions never skipped a beat, stayed on track, and our team was as dedicated as ever. This is a true testament to their strong planning and leadership. If you are looking for a company to develop your projects remotely, please know from my experience that Net Solutions will have your back no matter what and will always strive to provide you value. Thank you, team!
