Setting Off On Our Own In NYC, Running A $3K/Month Digital Agency

Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

Hi, we’re DKDesigns, a web design agency in Brooklyn, NY. Founded by David and Kaitlyn Gilbert out of New York City, we are a one-stop-shop for web design and digital marketing for small businesses in Brooklyn, NY.

In a city where the average web design package usually soars beyond the $10,000 range, we decided to serve the small (but mighty) businesses in New York City by offering corporate quality digital marketing services at prices mom-and-pop businesses could stomach.

What started as a side project with a goal of $10K a year and $1K has grown faster than we’ve been able to keep up in our first year, passing our $10K annual revenue goal in the first quarter and closing in on $3K in monthly revenue.

What's your backstory and how did you come up with the idea?

We love New York City. Kaitlyn was born and raised in Brooklyn, and David joined her as fast as he could. While there are many things that make Brooklyn great, the thing we enjoy about it the most is the vibrance and variety of small businesses we find scattered throughout our borough.
