SoHo boutiques. Tribeca lofts. Chelsea galleries. UES clinics. Manhattan's independent businesses deserve design that matches the neighborhood — without paying Madison Avenue rates for it. Zebra ships premium custom design from $500.
Why this market
Manhattan's independent restaurants, boutiques, galleries and clinics are competing with billion-dollar chains for attention on the same block. What sets them apart isn't ad spend — it's design that feels like the neighborhood. We've shipped editorial-grade brand and web for international clients since 2018. Now we're offering that craft to Manhattan small businesses at a price built for independent operators.

What clients say
“Wildly efficient. I sent a WhatsApp on a Thursday, we had a call Friday, and my restaurant's site was live in 9 days. Booking traffic doubled the first week.”
Sarah M.
Owner · Bushwick Table · Brooklyn, NY
“I got quoted $9,200 by a Midtown agency for a site that looked exactly like what Zebra shipped me for $500. I keep waiting for the catch. There isn't one.”
David R.
Owner · Chelsea Cleaning Co. · Manhattan, NY
“Communication was in English, invoicing in USD, work delivered on time. Zebra didn't feel like a remote team at all. We're now on their $500/mo social plan too.”

Frequently asked
Design is design. We use the same tools (Figma, Next.js, Webflow) as Madison Avenue agencies. What we don't have is a Fifth Avenue office and a sales team of five — that's what makes their $12,000 quote a $12,000 quote. Craft doesn't require a Manhattan zip code.
