About
I'm Aniela. I build websites that get found.
Brooklyn-based freelance web designer and developer, 15+ years in, helping NYC small businesses and startups show up where their customers are actually looking.
I design and build custom, responsive websites — and I specialize in making sure those sites actually get seen: on Google, in AI-generated answers, and everywhere in between. ANIE.LA is operated by ANIELA LLC.
Search has changed, and it changed fast. Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity now hand people direct answers without them ever clicking through to a website. That means how a site is built, written and structured matters more than it ever has — not less. Every project I take on is designed with that in mind, from the first heading down to the last line of structured data.
I work with restaurants, service businesses, boutiques, agencies, law firms and startups across Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens. Projects range from a single focused landing page to a full multi-page site. Everything starts with a free consultation.
There's one of me. That's the point: the person you talk to on the first call is the person writing the code. No account managers, no handoffs, no telephone game between you and whoever actually builds the thing.
The short version
Why work with one person instead of an agency
Direct access
With an agency you're often handed to a junior after the sales call. Here, the person on the call builds the site.
Search is included
SEO, AEO and GEO are built into every project by default. You don't pay extra for strategy that should have been standard.
No bloat
Hand-written code, no page builders. Faster to load, easier for Google to read, cheaper to maintain.
Rank on Google. Get cited by AI. Win in NYC.
Tell me what you're building. First conversation is free, and you'll leave it with a straight answer either way.
