Of the 7,007 New York business websites I checked, 1,184 don’t work.

Their owners are still paying for the domain. Most of them don’t know. I’m Javen — I find broken small-business websites around Queens, Brooklyn and Nassau, and I rebuild them.

New York metro, 24 trades, checked 31 August 2026. I exclude anything I can’t verify — telling a business their working website is down would be worse than saying nothing. Roughly one in six is paying for a site no customer can open.

What I do

I build the site first, then ask if you want it.

Most web designers send you a proposal and a meeting invite. I find that backwards — you can’t judge a website from a description of one.

So I build it. Your name, your services, your hours, your phone number, laid out properly and working on a phone. Then I send you a link. If you like it, I finish it and hand it over. If you don’t, I delete it and that’s the end of it. You have not agreed to anything by looking.

I’m one person. The person who answers the phone is the person who builds the site, which is the main reason anything gets done the same week you ask for it.

How it goes

Four steps, and three of them are mine.

  1. I check your current site

    Does it load? Does it work on a phone? When was it last rebuilt? All of that is measurable from outside, and I do it before I ever contact you.

  2. I build the replacement

    Real pages with your real information — not a template screenshot with your logo dropped on it. It works on the phone your customers actually use.

  3. You look at it and decide

    One link, no meeting, no obligation. “No thanks” is a complete answer and I won’t follow up twice.

  4. If you want it, it goes live that week

    Domain, hosting, your Google listing pointed at the new site. I handle the technical part; you never have to log in to anything.

Price

One price list. Same for everyone.

It’s published, it doesn’t change based on what your shop looks like, and I don’t discount. If the budget is tight, we cut scope — never quality.

$1,500

one time, then $150/month

  • Five pages, built around what you actually sell
  • Your own photos, edited properly
  • Tap-to-call from every screen
  • Your Google listing kept in sync
  • Hosting, updates and backups in the monthly
See all four tiersfrom $750
A price you can look up is a price I can’t quietly raise because your shop looks busy. That is the entire reason it’s on a page instead of in a conversation.

Get in touch

Call, text, or email. I answer all three.

If you just want to know whether your own site is one of the 1,184, ask me and I’ll check it for free. That takes about a minute and there’s nothing attached to it.
