Web, app and AI development in New York
New York procurement asks for a U.S. entity, clear IP ownership and written milestones before kickoff. That is how we contract by default, on Eastern hours.
HandsOnTech builds websites, mobile apps and AI products for New York businesses with guaranteed Eastern-time overlap, contracting through Hands On Technologies, a U.S. entity headquartered in Sacramento, California. Every engagement is fixed-price with written milestones, NDA on request, a 30-day bug warranty and full IP transfer on final payment.
New York buyers expect enterprise polish and clean paperwork: a U.S. entity, an NDA-ready process and written milestones before anyone writes code. Budgets skew higher than secondary markets, and so does scrutiny, which suits a fixed-price studio better than an hourly shop.
What New York buyers screen for
In New York the vendor conversation usually starts with risk, not creativity: who holds the IP, which entity signs, what happens if the timeline slips, and whether the people in the pitch are the people in the sprint. Our answers are the same for a fintech, a media group or a professional services firm. Hands On Technologies is a U.S. entity, IP assignment is full and unconditional on final payment, milestones and dates are written into the scope before kickoff, and the designer and engineer doing the work are in your Slack channel with no account-manager relay in between.
Fintech, media and professional services
New York demand clusters in fintech, media and advertising, professional services, healthcare and e-commerce, and each carries its own constraint. Fintech and healthcare work needs data flows designed for access control and auditability from the first architecture diagram, not retrofitted before a security review. Media and advertising work is judged on speed and polish against campaign calendars. Professional services convert on trust content and search visibility rather than visual novelty. We start from the constraint that actually binds your sale, then design and build to it.
Manhattan rates versus fixed-price delivery
New York agencies typically quote 20 to 40 percent above national averages for comparable scope, and much of that gap is the metro rather than the seniority of the team assigned. Fixed-price remote delivery with guaranteed Eastern overlap lands mid-market on price while keeping the U.S. contract, the senior staffing and the option to meet in person for kickoffs and quarterly planning. Marketing sites run $15k to $35k, web apps and portals $35k to $85k, and AI pilots $25k to $50k, quoted in writing within 48 hours.

Got questions?
Do you have a New York office?
No. We are headquartered in Sacramento, California and serve New York remote-first with guaranteed Eastern-time overlap. On-site working sessions in New York City are arranged for kickoffs, quarterly planning and executive demos.
Can you meet our procurement and legal requirements?
Generally yes. We contract through Hands On Technologies, a U.S. entity, sign NDAs before you share anything sensitive, assign IP in full on final payment, and put milestones, dates and deliverables in the written scope before kickoff. Insurance and vendor documentation are provided on request.
How do you compare to a Manhattan agency on price?
New York agencies commonly quote 20 to 40 percent above national averages for comparable scope. Our published ranges are national and fixed in writing, so the comparison is usually senior capacity per dollar rather than a discount on the same proposal.
Do you work with fintech and healthcare data?
Yes, with the caveat that we design access-controlled, auditable data flows and HIPAA-aware architecture rather than certifying compliance ourselves. Your counsel or compliance officer defines the requirement; we build to it and document what we built.
Do you serve New York outside the city?
Yes. Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Long Island, Westchester and the Hudson Valley are all served on the same Eastern-hours remote model, with the New York City page covering metro-specific market context.
