Plain House Studio

Plain House Studio is a web design studio based on Staten Island that builds custom-coded websites for businesses across New York City and the rest of the US. Every site is quoted at a flat $3,000 covering every page the client needs, with delivery promised in one week. NYC Superior Construction is one live client site built this way, giving a concrete example of the studio's output beyond concept work.

The process covers design, development, and basic SEO, with each page designed from scratch and hand-coded rather than assembled from templates. Layouts are built to work across phones, tablets, and laptops, and SEO work is kept basic — structured so Google can understand what a business does and where it operates. Site launch and hosting setup are handled at no extra charge as part of the package. Projects that need more than a standard page set, such as online stores or customer login areas, are scoped separately with a free estimate rather than folded into the flat rate.

Alongside live client work, the studio has produced concept studies for Sixth Hour Bakery, Tallgrass Yard Co., and Cordgrass Oyster Room, spanning a bakery, a land or yard-based business, and a seafood restaurant. These studies sit alongside production work like the NYC Superior Construction site, giving a sense of how the studio approaches different business types even before a client contract is in place. The studio frames its base, Staten Island, as a starting point rather than a limit, taking on projects for businesses anywhere in the US.
