BUFFALO WEB DESIGNER
Hi, I'm Jamie, and I genuinely love what I do
I'm a web designer based in Buffalo, NY, and for the past five-plus years I've been helping local small businesses trade in websites they're embarrassed by for ones they can't wait to share.
If you found your way here, there's a good chance your current website isn't doing you justice, and I'd love to change that.
A little about me
I grew up right here in Buffalo, so when I say I care about local businesses, I mean it. These are the shops, practices, and service providers that make up the community I've lived in my whole life. Seeing them stuck with outdated websites, or worse, no website at all, has always felt like a problem worth solving.
Web design found me through a simple realization: I wanted creative work I could own. I wanted to build something, hand it to someone, and watch their face when they saw it for the first time. That moment, when a client sees their new site and it actually looks like the business they've been building, never gets old. It's still the part of this job I look forward to most.
Over the past five-plus years, I've designed websites for law firms, medical practices, wellness businesses, event companies, photographers, cafes, and everything in between. Every project is different. Every client has their own goals, their own brand, their own version of what "the right website" looks like. My job is to figure out what that is and then build it.
What working with me actually looks like
A lot of web designers hand you off to a team after your first conversation. You talk to one person, then get emails from three others, and by the time your site launches you're not sure who built what.
That's not how I work.
I'm a solo designer, which means when you hire me, you get me from the first discovery call through launch day and beyond. Every design decision, every revision, every question you have, comes back to one person who knows your project inside and out.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
✔️ Fixed pricing, always
You'll know the exact cost of your project before we start. No surprise invoices, no scope creep fees, no "that's extra." What we agree on is what you pay.
✔️ Direct access to me
You'll have my email and we'll communicate throughout the project. No waiting on a middleman to relay your feedback to someone you've never met.
✔️ Mobile-first, every time
Every site I build looks and works beautifully on phones because that's where your customers are finding you.
✔️ Built so you can take it from here
I design sites you can actually update yourself. After launch, I'll walk you through everything. You shouldn't need to call me every time you want to change a sentence.
Kind words from clients
Who I work best with
My clients are small business owners across Buffalo and Western New York who've reached a point where their current website, or lack of one, is holding them back. They're established enough to know they need something better, and smart enough to know that "better" doesn't mean the cheapest option available.
If your business relies on people trusting you before they ever walk through your door, a great website isn't optional, it's essential. That's what I build.
