What We Build

Every engagement starts with a conversation, not a proposal.

Custom Web Development

Sites built from scratch around your brand and goals — not a Wix template with your logo swapped in. Every project ships with SEO foundations, Google Analytics, and a contact form that actually delivers. Clean code you own outright, on infrastructure built to last.

From $750

Built to Be Found

Every site we build ships with a technical SEO foundation: meta tags, schema markup, a sitemap, and Google Search Console connected from day one. We also set up GA4 conversion tracking so you know exactly which visitors become inquiries — not just how many people visited.

Included in all projects

Email & Lead Capture

For clients ready to grow their audience, we integrate and configure your email platform — Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or Kit — with a branded signup form and a welcome automation. Email is the only marketing channel you fully own. We build it in from the start.

Add-on from $300

Strategy & Consultation

Not sure where to start? We'll audit your current site, identify what's holding it back, and give you a clear, honest roadmap — whether or not you hire us to build it. No pitch deck. Just a straight answer.

$150/hour

Ongoing Care

Your site is a living thing.
We keep it that way.

Maintenance

$150/mo

Peace of mind for clients who want their site managed and monitored without thinking about it.

  • Site updates & content edits
  • Uptime & security monitoring
  • Performance checks
  • 1 hour of included support

Partner

$500/mo

For clients running active marketing — ads, email, or content — who need a technical partner keeping the foundation solid.

  • Everything in Growth
  • Ad pixel & conversion management
  • Heatmap & session review
  • Email platform management
  • 4 hours of included support
  • Priority response time

All plans are month-to-month. No long-term contracts required.

How We Work

01

Discovery

We start with a real conversation — your goals, your audience, your timeline, and your budget. No assumptions, no package fitting. By the end of this call, we both know exactly what we're building and why.

02

Design

We develop a design direction built around your brand — not a template. You'll see wireframes and visual mockups before a single line of code is written. Two rounds of revisions are included at this stage.

03

Build

Your site is coded by hand — performant, accessible, and SEO-ready from the start. You'll have a live preview URL throughout the build process so you can review real progress, not static screenshots.

04

Launch & Beyond

We handle deployment, DNS, SSL, and analytics setup. Your site goes live on our reliable infrastructure, and we stick around. Every project includes post-launch support — because a website isn't a deliverable, it's an ongoing relationship.

Manhattan Ave · Brooklyn, NY

Built Different,
By Design.

Manhattan Ave Studio is a Brooklyn-based web development studio with roots in data engineering and software development. That means when we build your website, we're thinking about more than how it looks — we're thinking about how it performs, what it measures, and how it grows with your business.

A website that can't be found isn't doing its job. That's why every site we build ships with the technical foundations that make search, sharing, and tracking work correctly from day one — not as an afterthought, not as a paid add-on. SEO markup, analytics, fast load times, and proper conversion tracking are part of how we build, not extras we bolt on later.

We use AI tools to work efficiently, but every project is driven by a human who understands your goals, reviews every line of code, and is accountable for the result. Think of it like a general contractor with power tools — the tools make the work faster. The expertise makes it right.

We're not an agency. We don't take on more projects than we can do well. When you work with Manhattan Ave Studio, you're working with the person who built your site — not a rotating cast of contractors.
