Why We Started Esteben.

Pronunciation • es-TEE-ben

Growing up in Jamaica, Queens, we didn't have much. Steven's father is an entrepreneur for over 30 years, working long hours to provide for them.

When Steven started coding in 2018, he wanted to give back. He built tools to automate his father's business through data entry, validation, and reporting. It made life easier and brought them closer together.

That's why we do this. We help business owners attract more clients so you can focus on your business, not your website.

Why We're Different

What Makes Working With Us Different

We're not a typical web agency. Here's what you can actually expect.

You Talk Directly to the People Doing the Work

No account managers. No middlemen. Julie manages your project, Steven builds your site. You get answers fast, not corporate runarounds.

We Move Fast (Because You Don't Have Time to Wait)

Most agencies take 3-4 months. We deliver in 3-4 weeks. Your competitors are getting customers while you wait for other developers. We don't let that happen.

Results Over Vanity Metrics

Beautiful design matters, but only if it converts. We balance modern aesthetics with what actually drives results: fast load times, strong SEO performance, and clear paths to conversion. No flashy features that look good but don't work.

We Don't Disappear After Launch

Need to update your hours? Add a new service? We're here. Most developers ghost after launch. We stick around because your success matters to us.

Meet the Family

The People Behind the Magic

No layers of account managers. Just a team that cares about your business.

Steven - Founder & Software Engineer at Esteben web development

Steven

Founder & Software Engineer

I grew up in Jamaica, Queens watching my parents work incredibly hard to provide for our family. They made sure we always had food on the table and a roof over our heads, no matter what it took. That work ethic stuck with me.

I taught myself to code in high school and spent 5+ years building software for tech companies. But I always knew I wanted to use those skills to help local businesses, the ones that keep neighborhoods running and support families like mine.

Now I build websites for business owners who deserve professional work at fair prices, without the corporate BS or inflated agency costs.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me spending time with my family, playing basketball, or learning new things.

Julie - Project Manager & Client Relations at Esteben web development

Julie

Project Manager & Client Relations

I've always believed that good communication is the foundation of everything. Whether it's understanding what makes your business special or making sure you're never left wondering what's happening with your project, I'm here to make the process simple and stress free.

After years of working with clients in different industries, I saw too many business owners get lost in corporate jargon or passed around to different account managers. That's not how we work at Esteben.

I make sure you're heard, your vision is captured, and you always know exactly where your project stands. Just direct communication and genuine care for your success.

When I'm not managing projects, you'll find me exploring NYC's neighborhoods, trying new restaurants, or planning my next adventure.
