Software and websites for New York firms.
We build from Türkiye and work through your mornings. Contracts, security questions and code ownership get settled before the first sprint.

A New York company buys software the way it buys everything else: a questionnaire, a contract review, sometimes a security check, then a small paid pilot. We expect that sequence and prepare for it, and that preparation is most of what makes a team in another country workable.
What procurement will ask us
Expect the standard package: an NDA, a master services agreement, a data-handling questionnaire and a request for references. Send your paper with the first brief. We answer questionnaires in writing, so your reviewer has a document to file instead of a call to remember.
Some New York buyers require a certification such as SOC 2 from every vendor. If yours does, say so in the first message. We will tell you plainly what we can provide. For many projects the practical answer is to run the work inside your own accounts, with the repository, hosting and credentials under your control from day one.
The calendar
Seven hours separate New York from Istanbul in summer, eight in winter. Your 9 a.m. is our late afternoon, so the shared window runs from your first coffee to late morning. Decisions get made then. What was decided gets built while you sleep, and a staging link is waiting when you log on.
The United States changes its clocks in March and November. Türkiye does not, so the gap moves by an hour twice a year. The table below shows both states, and the calendar invite always carries the time in yours.
Jobs that fit a New York firm
A boutique advisory or law practice usually needs practitioner pages, a clear intake path and a CRM behind it. A commercial real estate group needs listing pages that Google reads as structured data, plus an internal tool for the brokers. A wellness or hospitality brand needs booking that works one-handed on a phone.
Our portfolio has a version of each. VELA Skin Atelier, a SoHo studio, is the booking case, with treatment protocols, session lengths and consultation requests handled in a single request form. The sales and appointment panel is the internal side, with WhatsApp and Instagram conversations, customer history and team notes on one screen.
AI agents and New York City rules
If an agent screens applicants or ranks candidates for a job in the city, Local Law 144 requires a bias audit and a notice to candidates. We raise that at scoping because it changes what the agent may decide. Everything else gets the same treatment: we write down what the agent may do alone and what waits for a person.
Search, without promises
A page titled “web design New York” will not outrank the agencies sitting in Manhattan, and we will not tell you otherwise. For a firm that sells nationally, the pages that count are one per service, credentials stated plainly, and structured data that lets Google and the AI assistants quote you correctly. That is the technical SEO and GEO work we do. No ranking comes with it.

Frequently asked questions
What criteria define an effective web design or software team for a New York business?
New York buyers rarely benefit from generic agency retainers or resold themes. The strongest engineering benchmark rests on verifiable criteria: fast mobile page loads, structured schema that lets AI assistants cite your services accurately, and full code ownership in your own repositories. METEK builds custom Next.js applications and tools with a written scope, working across Eastern morning collaboration hours.
Can you work from our NDA and MSA?
Send them with the first brief. Your counsel stays in charge of the legal terms, and we work in your GitHub or GitLab organization, your cloud account and your task tracker when you have them.
What happens in the first week?
You get a written scope, the questions that block it and a staging address. The scope lists the screens or pages, who uses them and what is left out. Build starts after you approve it.
Is anyone reachable during New York hours?
Messages sent in your morning are answered before noon Eastern. Calls happen in the overlap window, usually between 9 and 11 a.m.
