The independent alternative to a New York agency

New York has hundreds of agencies. Most have three-tier retainers, account managers between you and the work, and a page-builder template dressed up as bespoke. That's the wrong shape for most founders. We're the other option: a small senior studio where you brief the people building the site, decisions happen in a WhatsApp thread, and the price on the quote is the price on the invoice.

We work across the whole of New York — Shoreditch startups, Hackney cafés, Camden studios, Southwark restaurants, Croydon service businesses, Kensington professional firms. Every site is custom-coded, tuned for New York local SEO, and shipped in weeks not quarters.

  • Independent shops, bars and restaurants across Shoreditch, Hackney and Islington
  • Trades, studios and service businesses covering North, East, South and West New York
  • Founders and growing brands across Central New York and the outer boroughs

Recent New York work

"We were running on a Squarespace site that nobody could find. RIOT rebuilt it from scratch with a proper menu, online ordering and SEO that actually targets our part of New York. Direct bookings doubled within three months and we stopped losing margin to the delivery apps on most of them."
