Amherst web design and ongoing website support

Website improvements and support for Amherst businesses.

Amherst businesses compete hard for attention online. I help owners around Amherst and Williamsville tighten up the site they already have, redesign it when it's truly outdated, and keep it running smoothly afterward.

Improve what you have

Make the current site pull its weight.

For many Amherst offices, the fastest win is fixing what's already there: sluggish pages, awkward phone layouts, appointment forms that go nowhere, and service pages that don't explain enough.

Support it monthly

Stop worrying about updates.

Plugin updates, backups, uptime checks and the small edits you never get around to — I take care of them each month, so your staff can stay focused on clients.

Amherst and Williamsville

Built for the way Amherst does business.

Amherst leans heavily on professional services — law and accounting firms, medical and dental practices, insurance and financial advisors — plus the tech, research and student-focused businesses around the UB North Campus. Those clients check credentials online before they ever call, so the site has to look as solid as the people behind it.

Getting together is simple: Amherst is about 30 minutes from Lockport, and meetings happen in person or by video.

Relevant project example

Clearer services, more quote requests.

On the Liberty Security project, I reorganized the service pages and shortened the path to a quote request. Amherst firms selling expertise rather than products tend to need exactly that kind of cleanup.

Common questions

Before starting an Amherst website project.

Do you work with businesses in Amherst and Williamsville?

Absolutely. Amherst is about 30 minutes from my office in Lockport, so meeting at your practice or office is easy. A video call works too if that suits your schedule better.

How much does website work cost?

Targeted fixes start at $795, a larger improvement sprint starts at $1,900, and a full new site starts at $3,500. Every Amherst project gets a written scope and quote up front.

Can you improve my existing website instead of rebuilding it?

Usually, yes. Plenty of Amherst sites just need cleanup — quicker load times, clearer pages, a contact form that works. I'll only suggest a rebuild if patching it would cost you more.

Do you offer monthly support?

I do. Care plans run $149 a month for Essentials (1 hands-on hour), $399 for Growth (3 hours) and $799 for Priority (5 hours). Amherst retailers on Shopify can use Kenton Commerce plans from $499 a month.

Which platforms do you support?

Mostly WordPress (including WooCommerce) and Shopify. If your Amherst business is on something else, ask — migrations and integrations are often doable.
