We decided to check out our fellow web designers in Yonkers and see what they’re up to.
These came up in Google search for our area, and represent a wide spectrum of service and customer quality.
Although web design can be done from anywhere, nothing compares to local relationships for business services. It’s definitely an advantage being able to visit onsite for consultation and troubleshooting.
| Company | Cost | Description | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
$$$ | Walkside has a web 1.0 look. Serving local clientele, the website could use an update. Hosting fees are at premium levels – expensive for today’s market. One star. |  |
 |
Call | A new business with a nice feel to the website – and broken links on their web design portfolio page. Have a look! Broken links and no rates – one star. | |
 |
$$ | A young designer into skateboards and t-shirt graphics. The site has a bustling, hip-hop feel with a comprehensive services menu. Service minimum appears to be $500. A basic WordPress install could be cheaper than that. Two stars. |  |
 |
Call | A high-quality design house serving local small-and medium-sized businesses. Their site shows considerable expertise in todays best practices for website design. No rates posted – two stars. | |
 |
$$$$ | The website is overloaded with information, much of it useful but very hard to digest, with a very slick, commercial pro look. They do show pricing— websites start at just under $2000. High rates – two stars. | |
 |
Call | This world-class design house is owned by our former neighbor (and current friend). A major production facility, their client list is a who’s-who of Fortune 500 companies. I did not see rates posted. Two stars. | |

December 21, 2014 at 5:00 pmHello would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re utilizing? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a reasonable price? Kudos, I appreciate it!

December 21, 2014 at 10:21 pmHi Lucy! Thanks for noticing the speed – it’s an objective in our builds here.
I’m a fan, beta tester, partner and advocate of A2 hosting
They’re WordPress friendly, developing tools to optimize speed and security – and their servers run on Solid State drives (as an option). This site is on SSD Turbo. I can’t recommend them enough! They have a wonderful affiliate program, as well – the link above is my affiliate link. If you’re building sites, I highly recommend participating. I’ve accumulated the equivalent of 6 years’ free hosting from my participation in it.
Thanks again for your comments!
