Serving small businesses across the Capital Region

Based in Schenectady, building websites for local businesses from Albany to Saratoga.

I am local, not a faceless agency three states away. Based in Schenectady, I work with small businesses across the Capital Region, and I am glad to meet in person to talk through your project. Because I know the area, I build every site to get you found by nearby customers: local SEO and Google Business Profile setup are included, so you show up when someone searches for what you do “near me.”

Schenectady, NYNiskayuna, NYRotterdam, NYScotia, NYGlenville, NYAlbany, NYTroy, NYSaratoga Springs, NYClifton Park, NYBallston Spa, NYLatham, NYGuilderland, NY

Not on the list? If you are anywhere in the Capital Region or beyond, I work remotely too. Reach out and let us talk.

Frequently Asked Questions

What platforms do you build on?
Astro and WordPress. I pick the platform that matches your needs, budget, and how comfortable your team is with technology. No lock-in.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. I can refresh the design in place or rebuild from scratch, depending on what makes sense. Either way, I migrate your content and set up redirects so you keep your SEO value.
Do you write the copy too?
Yes. I write clear, conversion-focused content for every page. If you already have messaging you like, I will work with that and refine it for the web.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
Yes. Every project includes training and documentation so your team can make content updates, add pages, and manage the site day to day without needing a developer.
How long does a typical website project take?
Most sites launch within 2 to 4 weeks. After our call, you get a clear timeline with milestones so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you only work with businesses in Schenectady?
No. I am based in Schenectady and work with small businesses across the whole Capital Region, including Albany, Saratoga Springs, Troy, Niskayuna, Clifton Park, and the surrounding towns. Most of the work can be done remotely, and I am happy to meet in person when you are nearby.
