Digital Advertising Review from Marc Casper
For the digital marketing portion of the project, Scan tracked growth and engagement on our social media platforms. It was clear that their work directly drove growth in our online presence. On the web development side, our investors and internal executive stakeholders were impressed with their work. Its too early to truly gauge the value of the site, but in the immediate term, those who didn't like the old site have really liked the new one.
They were great with structuring regular Zoom calls to keep everything on track. Outside of these calls, we communicated via email and Basecamp.

In our email marketing campaigns, we've seen a 25% return on investment. Our PPC ROI is 250%. They've found a way to attract an audience to our site despite safety training not being an objectively exciting subject.
Their project management skills are fantastic. They report progress to us multiple times a day, which keeps me happy. Scandiweb is always in touch with us to make sure we know how everything is going. We never have to chase them down about anything.

eCommerce Development Review from JOSHUA MARGOLIS
The purpose of this project is to redesign the existing website with a modern, user-friendly interface and integrate a custom checkout system tailored for subscription-based services. The new design will enhance the user experience, improve site performance, and streamline the subscription process to increase conversions and customer retention.
The speed at which you completed the project without compromising on quality is truly impressive. Not only did you meet our tight deadlines, but the site also looks modern, runs smoothly, and the functionality has been greatly improved.
Your attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to quickly address any feedback or issues along the way made the whole process seamless. This upgrade has already made a significant difference, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

WordPress Review from Daniel Land
Miracuves Solutions was great throughout the process. They communicated very well and made changes promptly. After sending them some hint, they were able to develop a wonderful design and made changes to our requests with no questions asked.We are in the process of implementing it with our webmaster but Miracuves Solutions has expressed that they would help us anytime if we needed help. Our webmaster said we have everything and is looking good but it was nice to know that Miracuves's team continues to help even after the project. It shows the character and values this company has.

5 Frequently Asked Questions About Software Development Companies in New York
How do I know if I need a software development agency or an in-house hire?
The decision comes down to what you are building and how long you need to build it.
An in-house hire makes sense when software is a core, ongoing function of the business and will likely require continuous iteration and deeper institutional knowledge. An external hire, on the other hand, makes sense when the timeline is fixed or the technical requirements exceed what a single hire could cover.
Do you need something shipped within a specific window?
Do you need multiple specializations at once?
Are you not sure yet about the product direction to justify a permanent headcount commitment?
How much do software development companies in New York charge for their services?
Software development companies in New York typically charge $100 or more per hour, though rates as low as $40 per hour exist depending on the agency's size and specialization. North American agencies more broadly average $70 to $200+ per hour, with New York firms at the higher end of that range, given local market costs.
Here are some factors that drive price variation:
Seniority mix. An agency billing you lower hourly rates is likely staffing your project with junior or mid-level developers, whereas an agency charging higher fees typically means senior engineers will be hands-on.
Engagement model. Fixed-price contracts carry a built-in risk premium: agencies charge more upfront to protect against scope shifts. Time-and-materials contracts are priced lower per hour but require active management on your end to prevent overruns.
Specialization. A software development company in New York that works primarily in fintech, healthcare, or regulated industries will price above a generalist shop.
Project size. Agencies price smaller engagements higher per hour. A $30,000 project will cost more per hour than a $300,000 one from the same firm.
What hidden costs don't show up in the initial quote?
The quoted number and the final invoice rarely match. Notably, research shows that around 70% of software projects exceed their initial budget, with an average overrun of 27%. The gap usually compounds from several smaller add-ons that were not defined at the start.
The most common “hidden costs” include:
Scope change fees. Any feature or requirement that was not in the original spec gets billed as a change of order, typically at a higher hourly rate than the base engagement.
QA and testing. Some software developers in New York include testing in the base scope. Many do not. User acceptance testing, load testing, and security testing are frequently itemized separately.
Infrastructure and environment setup. Cloud configuration, third-party API integrations, and staging environments often appear as separate line items after the contract is signed.
Post-launch support. Bug fixes, performance monitoring, and small adjustments after go-live are almost always billed separately unless written into the contract upfront.
The simplest protection from such overruns is to ask for a written breakdown of every category of work that triggers an additional charge before signing anything.
Is a larger software development company in New York safer than a smaller one?
Not by default, and for most buyers, the assumption works against them.
Larger software development companies in New York bring staffing depth, structured processes, and institutional accountability. For enterprise-level builds with complex compliance requirements, multi-region infrastructure, or large concurrent engineering teams, that scale is genuinely necessary.
For most projects, the dynamic tends to invert: your account gets assigned to mid-level engineers, senior oversight is limited, and the relationship becomes transactional once the contract is signed. The senior developer who impressed you in the sales call may not be the one writing your code.
The more useful question is who will lead your project day-to-day. Ask for the name, seniority level, and relevant experience of the lead engineer and project manager assigned to your account before signing.
When does it make sense to switch software development companies mid-project?
Here are some situations that justify switching firms mid-project:
Consistent missed sprint deliverables with no clear explanation
Engineers who cannot answer questions about their own architectural decisions
Billing disputes the agency will not itemize or resolve
A point of contact who relays information but cannot make decisions
Code that an independent review has flagged as creating long-term technical debt
If you decide to switch, you will need: full codebase access and documentation, all environment credentials and infrastructure configurations, a list of open bugs and known issues, and any third-party API keys or service accounts tied to the project. Do not assume these will be handed over without being asked for explicitly; make them a condition of the offboarding.
The best window to switch is between major milestones, after a working build has been delivered and before the next phase begins. Switching mid-sprint, or worse, mid-launch, multiplies handoff risk significantly.
