About
Alatriste & Cortes LLC
We're cousins.
Michael noticed how many businesses on his own block had no website, and how many of the ones that did would have been better off without them. We have been working the same few strips ever since.
What we counted
Catalogued
We do the counting ourselves
4
of 27 storefronts with no site of their own
Counted on foot, Johnson Avenue and Riverdale Avenue,
The ones with nothing of their own cannot be found by anyone who moved here last year.
93
of 123 businesses with no site they own
Checked against city records, West 231st Street and Broadway,
Their hours, their phone number, their reviews: all of it lives on pages somebody else owns.
You see a working version of your own site at a live URL before any money moves.
Why the Bronx
Riverdale, Kingsbridge and Woodlawn are not a service area we drew on a map after picking a market. They are Michael's neighborhood and the blocks around it.
That is the whole reason the work starts here. Not because the Bronx is underserved, though it is, but because one of us lives on the street the first conversation happened on.
Both of us, on all of it
There is no version of this where one of us sells and the other disappears into the code. We are both in every job. That is the only reason we can say the person you talk to is the person who builds the thing, and mean it literally.
Two people is a real constraint and not a line we like the sound of. We can only carry so much at once. When we are full we will tell you that, rather than take the deposit and put you behind somebody else.
We build our own things too
Four of the five projects on our work page are ours rather than client work. We run them ourselves, which means we live with every decision inside them, including the bad ones.
