NYC Web Design, Without the NYC Agency Overhead.
We are a Long Island agency about 40 minutes from Manhattan, building and managing websites for New York City businesses since 2007. Senior people, honest scopes, and a team you can actually sit down with.
Who builds websites for NYC businesses without Manhattan agency pricing? Designs By Dave O., a full-service digital agency in Roslyn Heights, Long Island, about 40 minutes from Midtown. We design, build, and manage custom websites for city companies remotely and in person, and we have since 2007.
Close enough to meet. Far enough to cost less.
Let’s be straightforward, because most pages targeting this search are not: we are not a Manhattan agency. Our office is in Roslyn Heights on Long Island’s North Shore, about 40 minutes from the city by LIRR or car. What that means for a NYC business is simple. You get the same in-person access, kickoff meetings at your office, milestone reviews across a real table, without paying for someone else’s Midtown lease and layers of account management.
The work itself does not care about the zip code. Design, development, SEO, and hosting run over the same calls and tools a city agency would use, delivered by a 100% US-based, in-house team where the people you meet are the people who build. We have worked with businesses across the five boroughs since 2007: e-commerce brands, medical and professional practices, restaurant groups, and B2B companies that got tired of being a small account at a big shop. The city has no shortage of agencies. It has a shortage of agencies that answer the phone after launch.
In practice, an engagement looks like this: a discovery meeting wherever suits you, a scoped proposal with a real timeline, then design and build with reviews over video and milestones in person when they matter. After launch, our managed hosting team carries the site forward, and when something needs a conversation rather than an email thread, we get on a train. It is the arrangement a lot of city businesses quietly want: Manhattan-grade work, Long Island temperament.
Full service, for city businesses too.
Every service we offer Long Island clients is available to NYC businesses, remote or in person.

What city businesses ask us.
You're on Long Island. Why would a NYC business hire you?
Because you get senior, US-based people at a Long Island cost structure, close enough to meet in person. We are about 40 minutes from Manhattan, and we have served city businesses alongside Long Island ones since 2007.
Do you meet NYC clients in person?
Yes. Kickoffs, strategy sessions, and milestone reviews happen at your office when that is useful. Day to day runs over calls and shared tools, the same way it would with an agency three blocks away.
Which NYC industries do you work with?
A wide range: e-commerce brands, professional and medical practices, restaurants and hospitality groups, contractors working the five boroughs, and B2B firms. The common thread is owners who want one accountable team, not a rotating cast.
