Our Approach

Built for the businesses that built New York

High-stakes clients reward work that holds up under scrutiny. Editors with deadlines, retailers with peak weekends, real-estate teams with leasing seasons, museums with openings — every one of our clients ships into a moment, and that moment doesn't wait for a deploy queue across three time zones.

Our practice is shaped by that pressure. Discovery, architecture, build, QA, and post-launch optimization all happen under one roof, with senior engineers who own the work end to end. No offshore handoffs. No anonymous pull requests. The person who shipped the feature is the same person who answers when something needs to change tonight.

Industries we know cold

A decade in, our practice has compounded inside a tight set of verticals — the ones with the least patience for amateur-hour engineering and the most to lose when something breaks.

  • Media & Publishing — NBC, AMC Networks, REVOLT TV, AppleInsider, The New York Times. High-volume editorial CMS, ad-tech integration, instant-publish pipelines.
  • Luxury & Jewelry — Nirav Modi, Michael Aram, Banana Republic, IZOD. Visual-first commerce where the photography and the page weight are equally non-negotiable.
  • Sports & Athletics — NBA, Under Armour, ASICS, Clemente Sports. Live data feeds, ticketing integrations, broadcast-grade load capacity.
  • Real Estate — Tishman Speyer, 125 High Street, 9 One Federal Street, The Brickyard, The Library at 190 LaSalle. Listing platforms and sales-center microsites for the city’s most-watched developments.
  • Education & Nonprofit — Success Academies, City of New Rochelle, New York Youth Symphony, New York Presbyterian, Bloomberg Philanthropies. Accessibility-first builds with strict compliance and donor-experience priorities.

A firm that hasn’t shipped for these verticals is guessing. We aren’t.

Our stack, opinionated on purpose

We don’t lead with a platform. We lead with a problem and let the platform follow. That said, the systems we standardize on are chosen for a reason — they survive the kind of traffic, audit pressure, and brand demand our clients put on them.

  • Headless WordPress + Next.js for editorial and marketing sites that need fast publishing and faster pages
  • Headless Shopify and Shopify Plus for commerce moving from legacy storefronts to conversion-modern funnels
  • Magento and BigCommerce for catalog-heavy luxury and B2B operations
  • Craft CMS and Contentful for content models that span web, app, and OOH simultaneously
  • AWS, Vercel, and Cloudflare at the edge, paired with serverless backends and Redis-backed caches, so that a Times Square activation pointing at a vanity URL doesn’t take the marketing site down

Each build also ships with the integrations our clients actually use day-to-day: Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, Klaviyo, Segment, Adobe Analytics, GA4, and the niche regulatory exports a finance or healthcare client requires.

What the first thirty days look like

When you bring us in, the work doesn’t begin with a Figma file or a sprint board. It begins with listening.

  • Week 1 — Enterprise Discovery workshop, on-site or remote. Stakeholder interviews, technical audits, and a roadmap delivered in writing.
  • Week 2 — Solution architecture: a platform recommendation with a documented pluses-and-minuses comparison, an integration map, and a phased delivery plan tied to your fiscal calendar.
  • Weeks 3–4 — Build kickoff with a dedicated pod — PM, lead engineer, designer, QA — running weekly demos against a shared backlog you can edit.

We are not one-and-done

Built for the long haul

A launch is a milestone, not a finish line. Every Crafted engagement comes with an SLA-backed support program: monthly performance reviews, security patching, content-team training, and a roadmap revisited quarterly with your stakeholders. We’ve kept clients on the same maintained codebase for eight, ten, twelve years — because the only way to compound digital ROI is to stop rebuilding from scratch every three.

Our Process

Our End-to-End Enterprise Development Lifecycle

Our full-stack web development process is designed to deliver not just a launch, but a roadmap for continuous digital maturity and measured growth, utilizing a hybrid methodology that includes both upfront strategic planning and perpetual Agile iteration.

For complex enterprise projects, the technology must serve the business strategy—not the other way around. Our platform-agnostic approach begins with an in-depth Enterprise Discovery Phase to align the digital solution with your current and future business needs and critical integrations before a single line of code is written or a CMS is selected.

Enterprise Discovery Development Nyc

This rigorous strategic planning phase includes:

  • Future-Proof Business Needs Analysis: Comprehensive evaluation of your immediate and long-term business goals, scalability requirements, and team capabilities to ensure the chosen stack supports growth for the next decade.
  • Systems Architecture and Integration Mapping: Deep-dive analysis of required APIs, backend integrations (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot), ERPs, and database requirements to create a robust and secure flow of data between your new web solution and your mission-critical internal systems.
  • Technology & Platform Recommendation: Only after the business goals, security requirements, scale, and integration needs are fully mapped do we provide platform recommendations (with pluses and minuses for each) , whether it’s AEM, Headless WordPress, Magento, or a custom Craft CMS solution. This ensures the technology is the optimal tool to solve complex business problems.

Following strategy sign-off, our team moves into the execution phases, where full-stack design, development, and rigorous quality assurance ensure a high-performing launch that is fully optimized for speed and stability.

The digital environment is constantly changing, and enterprise success requires constant adaptation. Our engagement does not end at launch; it evolves into a structured, Agile optimization partnership designed to meet ongoing decision changes, performance goals, and evolving market requirements.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you outsource any of the development work?

No. Every line of code is written by our own senior engineers. No offshore handoffs, no anonymous pull requests, no freelancers brought in to “augment the team.” It’s a deliberate choice — slower to scale, but the only way to maintain the engineering quality our enterprise clients need.

How long does a custom web development project take?

Most of our enterprise engagements ship in 12 to 20 weeks from kickoff. Smaller marketing-site builds compress to 8 weeks; large headless commerce rebuilds with deep integrations stretch to 24 or more. Discovery accuracy at the start is the single biggest factor — every week we spend getting architecture right saves us two later.

How much does custom web development cost?

Enterprise custom builds typically range from $75K for a focused marketing site to $500K+ for a multi-region commerce platform or headless rebuild. The biggest cost drivers are integrations (the more systems we connect to, the more engineering), content scale (a 50-page site vs a 5,000-product catalog), and performance SLAs. We can usually give a tight range after a 30-minute discovery call.

What does a custom web development company actually do?

Custom web development is the build phase that translates a strategy and design into a working, secure, performant product. For enterprise clients, that includes platform selection, architecture, front-end and back-end engineering, integrations with the systems your business already runs on (CRM, marketing automation, analytics, ERPs), QA, and the deploy and monitoring pipeline that keeps it reliable. A custom partner — versus a templated builder — owns the trade-offs and the long-term codebase.

What happens after launch?

Every Crafted engagement comes with an SLA-backed support program: monthly performance reviews, security patching, content-team training, and a quarterly roadmap revisit with your stakeholders. We’ve kept clients on the same maintained codebase for 8, 10, 12 years — because the way to compound digital ROI is to stop rebuilding from scratch every three.

What industries do you have the deepest web development experience in?

Media and publishing (NBC, AMC Networks, REVOLT TV, AppleInsider, The New York Times), luxury and jewelry (Nirav Modi, Michael Aram, Banana Republic, IZOD), sports and athletics (NBA, Under Armour, ASICS), real estate (Tishman Speyer, 125 High Street, 9 One Federal, The Brickyard), and education and nonprofit (Success Academies, NY Presbyterian, Bloomberg Philanthropies). A firm that hasn’t shipped for these verticals is guessing on day one. We aren’t.

What platforms and stacks do you specialize in?

Headless WordPress on Next.js for editorial and marketing sites that need fast publishing and faster pages. Shopify Plus and Headless Shopify for commerce moving off legacy storefronts. Magento and BigCommerce for catalog-heavy luxury and B2B. Craft CMS and Contentful for content models that span web, app, and out-of-home. AWS, Vercel, and Cloudflare at the edge — chosen because they survive the traffic and audit pressure our clients put on them.

What’s the difference between hiring a web development agency, a freelancer, and an in-house team?

A freelancer is the cheapest option but rarely carries an enterprise scope or stays accountable past launch. An in-house team has the most context but is slow to spin up and expensive to maintain at the senior level a custom build needs. An agency partner like Crafted gives you a senior-only pod for the build phase, then transitions to an SLA-backed maintenance relationship — you get specialized talent without the headcount, and a team that knows your codebase a decade in.
