A website custom built for your business.
I’m a software engineer in Buffalo. I build websites — and the software behind them — for local businesses. You get a fixed price before I start, and everything ends up in your name.
— what’s included
Everything it needs.
Nothing held back.
A custom design, not a template.
Drawn for your business, not stamped from a mold.
The pages that matter.
Five or six that earn their place. Not forty.
Text you can change yourself.
Hours, prices, photos — edited in your browser.
Booking, payments, or donations.
Wired to your tools. The money goes straight to you.
Fast, mobile, and findable.
Opens in a second on a phone. Google can find it.
Everything in your name.
Domain, hosting, code — yours to take anywhere.
Training, and 30 days after launch.
A walkthrough, notes to keep, a month of free changes.
What the price doesn’t cover.
- The domain name.About $15–20 a year, paid to your registrar, not to me. Hosting is $0 at your size, and I don’t resell it.
- Being on-call forever.I have a day job. You handle the small edits, I quote anything bigger. I still answer emails after the first 30 days — just not instantly.
— how it works
Three steps.
Two to three weeks.
- Step 01
We talk
Half an hour. What you do, who you’re reaching, what the site has to accomplish. You leave with a fixed number, not a range.
- Step 02
You see a design
Real mockups. We change whatever needs changing until you’re happy with it.
- Step 03
Build & launch
It goes live in your accounts, your people get trained, and I stay on 30 days for free tweaks.
— who’s behind this
Who you’re actually hiring.
I’m Julian, a software engineer in Buffalo. I’ve spent years building the web applications companies run their operations on, and that’s the person who builds your site — not a salesperson who hands it to someone else once you’ve signed. It stays small on purpose, so I take on work I can actually finish.

— frequently asked
The questions
everyone asks.
What does it cost?
A fixed price, quoted after a short conversation about what you need and agreed in writing before I start. Half up front, half when it launches. No hourly billing and nothing that renews on its own.
Who is this for?
Small local businesses — trades, shops, salons, restaurants — and anyone running an operation on a spreadsheet that should be software. I’m in Buffalo, but it happens over email, so where you are doesn’t matter.
What happens when you get busy or move on?
Everything is in your accounts, with written documentation. Any developer can pick it up — you don’t need my permission or my password.
Can we update it ourselves?
Yes. A simple editor in your browser for hours, prices, photos, and text. It’s part of your site, not something you rent from me.
What if we need something more complicated?
A website is one job; software is another. Customer logins, inventory, scheduling built around how you actually work — that’s quoted separately, and it’s the part I’m best at. I’ll tell you which one you’re describing on our first call, before you’ve spent anything.
— get in touch
Tell me about your business.
A few sentences about what you do and what you’d want the site to do is plenty — I’ll ask the rest myself. I read every note personally and reply within a few days.
— message received
Got it. Thank you.
I read these personally and I’ll reply within a few days either way.
