A website that gets your business found and your phone ringing.
I'm Patrick, and I build modern, mobile-friendly websites for Buffalo's small businesses, designed to show up on Google and in AI search like ChatGPT. $0 upfront, no contracts, and you see your site before you pay a cent.
See It Before You Pay
I design a free homepage preview in about 48 hours. Love it and we keep going. Not for you? No charge, no hard feelings.
One Guy, Zero Runaround
You work directly with me, start to finish. No account managers, no call centers, no being passed around.
Zero Tech Headaches
Domain, hosting, email, updates, security. I handle all of it so you can just run your business.
Everything your business needs to win online
No jargon, no upsell maze. From restaurants to contractors, if your customers are local, this is built for you.
Website Design & Build
A clean, modern site that looks great on phones, loads fast, and makes your business look as good as your work.
Hosting & Unlimited Edits
I host it, secure it, and keep it current. Changing prices, hours, or photos is quick and easy, and I'm here to do it for you the same day.
Local SEO
Show up when nearby customers search for what you do. Built into every page from day one.
AI Search Optimization
ChatGPT and Google's AI now answer "who's the best around here?" I optimize your site so you're in the running to get recommended.
Google & Reviews
Help getting your business looking sharp on Google Maps, and making it easy for happy customers to leave you reviews.
Online Booking & Leads
Customers can book appointments or request quotes any time, day or night, even while you're asleep or out on a job.
Words That Sell
Not sure what your site should say? I write it all for you, in plain English that sounds like you.
Domain & Branded Email
Your own .com plus name@yourbusiness.com. Looks far more professional on a card than an @gmail address.
Google isn't the only place customers find you anymore.
Every day, more people ask ChatGPT and Google's AI for recommendations like "who should I hire near me?" Those tools read websites differently than people do, and most local sites are invisible to them.
- I structure your site so AI assistants can read and understand exactly what you do
- That makes you far more likely to come up when someone asks for a recommendation
- Included in the Complete plan, without the enterprise price tag
Most local competitors haven't even heard of this yet. Being early is the whole advantage.
Three steps. Zero homework.
You don't need to know anything technical. If you can talk about your business for fifteen minutes, I've got everything I need.

The guy who actually builds your site
I'm Patrick. I started Buffalo Website Designs after seeing the same thing all over town: great local businesses with websites that were holding them back. Sites from 2009 that don't work on phones, or no website at all.
The agencies that could fix it want thousands of dollars and months of meetings. I do it differently: modern websites, built fast, for one low monthly price a small business can actually afford. No contracts, no tech headaches, one person who's accountable for all of it.
That's the whole point. You run the business; the website keeps bringing people in.
Questions owners actually ask
Either $99 or $149 a month, with $0 upfront. That's it. No setup fees, no contracts, no surprise invoices. Most web agencies charge $3,000 to $10,000 upfront plus monthly fees. I keep it simple and affordable enough that the website pays for itself.
You'll see a free homepage mockup in about 48 hours. If you love it, most full sites go live within one to two weeks. You don't need to prepare anything; a short call gives me what I need to start.
Cancel anytime with a quick message, no contracts and no cancellation fees. Your domain is yours and goes with you. And if you're inside your first 30 days, you get a full refund.
Only if you want to. If you'd rather never touch it, I make every change for you, usually the same day. If you're more hands-on, I can set you up with an easy way to edit the site yourself and publish your own updates. Either way, I'm always here to help.
If your customers are local, almost certainly yes. Restaurants, shops, trades, salons, studios, offices, you name it. If people in your area need to find you, hire you, or book you, a great website helps, and that's what I build.
More and more people ask ChatGPT and Google's AI for recommendations instead of scrolling through search results. AI search optimization means building your website so those tools can read and understand it, which improves your chances of being recommended. It's brand new, which is exactly why it's worth doing early, before your competitors catch on.
Yes, born and raised. Same guy, same standards, every single day. Buffalo's small businesses are exactly who I build for.
I can, though if your site is from 2009, rebuilding it fresh is usually faster and better than patching it. Either way, the free mockup shows you exactly what an upgrade would look like before you spend a dime.
