Small team. Big results.
We're a handful of designers and developers in Manhattan who got tired of watching small businesses get burned by agencies. So we built something different—honest web design with transparent pricing and no BS.

How we got here
The frustration that started it all
We were freelancing for agencies, watching them charge small businesses $10,000+ for basic websites. Worse, we saw clients get locked out of their own sites, stuck in year-long contracts, and abandoned after launch. It didn't sit right.
A different approach
We started taking on clients directly with a simple promise: fair pricing, you own everything, cancel anytime. Word spread. Turns out, a lot of business owners were tired of the agency runaround too.
200+ sites and counting
Today we're a small team in Manhattan serving businesses across the country. We've stayed small on purpose—no account managers, no layers of bureaucracy. When you work with us, you work with the people actually building your site.
Our values
These aren't just words on a wall. They're how we make decisions every day.
Honesty Over Polish
We'd rather tell you the truth than tell you what you want to hear. Even if it means losing a sale.
Your Business, Your Site
You own everything we build. Period. No hostage situations, no locked files, no "proprietary systems."
Results Over Features
A fancy website that doesn't bring customers is a waste of money. We focus on what actually grows your business.
Real people, real names
No outsourcing, no overseas teams. When you call, you talk to us.
James Mitchell
Founder & Lead Designer
Former agency creative director who got tired of the corporate game. Now he builds sites that actually help people.
Sarah Chen
Lead Developer
Full-stack developer with a thing for clean code and fast load times. She makes the magic happen behind the scenes.
Marcus Williams
Client Success
Your first point of contact. Former small business owner himself, so he actually gets what you're going through.
What you won't find here
We built Clear Digital as the opposite of every agency that frustrated us.
No Long-Term Contracts
Month-to-month, cancel anytime. If we're not earning your business, we don't deserve it.
No Hidden Fees
The price we quote is the price you pay. No surprise "discovery phases" or "scope expansions."
No Hostage Situations
You get admin access from day one. Leave anytime and take everything with you.
No Jargon
We explain things in plain English. If you don't understand something, that's on us.
No Disappearing Acts
15-minute response time. Lifetime tech support. We're here when you need us.
No Empty Promises
We won't guarantee #1 rankings or promise the moon. Just honest work that gets results.
Midtown Manhattan
We're based in New York City but work with businesses across the country. Everything we do can be handled over video calls and email—though we're always happy to grab coffee if you're local.
