Website redesign and industrial development for New York businesses.
An established business needs a website that reflects its current services, products, and reach. We help New York businesses plan that next stage.
Our website redesign services cover content planning, custom design and development, migration, and launch preparation. Karp Associates’ redesign shows that approach for a firm with residential and commercial projects in New York and other states.
For product companies, manufacturing and industrial website design connects product discovery and technical information with inquiries or ordering. Dalton Coatings X serves New York customers, while ASMG’s B2B commerce portal supports New York-area customers through company accounts, purchase orders, and delivery workflows.
Our studio is based in Norwalk, Connecticut. We work directly with your team to define the audiences, content, and systems the website needs to serve.
Working together
Start with a conversation. Leave with a direction.
Tell us what needs to change
Share your current website, the customers you want to reach, and the services or products you need to explain. A rough budget and target launch date help us assess the fit.
Define the right scope
Discuss content, design, functionality, and integrations. Your proposal sets out the deliverables, responsibilities, and exclusions before the project begins.

Planning your project
Questions before you get in touch.
Do you work with businesses in New York City and Westchester?
Yes. AK Design House serves Manhattan, the wider New York City area, and Westchester from our studio in Norwalk, Connecticut. We collaborate through scheduled reviews, shared project materials, and meetings arranged around the engagement. Vidov West Salon in the West Village is one example of our work for a New York City business.
How much does a custom website cost?
Our published pricing starts at $10,000 for a focused portfolio or small website. Larger websites, e-commerce, and custom systems are scoped around their content, functionality, and review requirements. See our website pricing for starting points and what affects the scope. Your proposal identifies deliverables and exclusions, including any separate hosting, subscriptions, or ongoing maintenance.
Can you redesign our existing WordPress website?
Yes. We can review your current content, structure, and editing needs, then plan the redesign and migration. Existing URLs, useful content, and redirects are reviewed as part of launch preparation to support continuity for visitors and search engines.
Will the website be prepared for search and inquiry tracking?
The scope can include descriptive page titles, useful service content, internal links, structured data that matches the page, and performance checks. We can also define and test inquiry events in analytics so completed inquiries can be distinguished from button clicks. Search visibility develops over time; no specific ranking is guaranteed.
How long will the project take?
Timing depends on the number of pages, content readiness, custom functionality, integrations, and review milestones. We discuss the target launch date at the start and define a schedule around the agreed scope and your team’s availability.
Can you design for financial and corporate audiences?
Yes. The work can include services and sector architecture, leadership, investor-facing content, portfolio or transaction experience, insights, compliance-aware workflows, and qualified inquiries.
Who will we work with?
You work directly with the senior designer and developer shaping the strategy and building the website. Specialist collaborators can be added when the project requires them, with responsibilities defined around the scope.
