Maryellen Archambault
I build websites for the kind of small businesses that have lasted because they're good at what they do — local shops, family-run trades, neighborhood places. Clean, simple sites built to fit your business. You work with me directly, and you own everything I build.
Maryellen — a Buffalo-based website designer focused on helping established local businesses build an online presence that feels as trustworthy as the business itself.
I've always had a deep respect for old trades, family-run businesses, neighborhood taverns, local shops, and the kinds of places that have lasted because they do good work and treat people right. Too many great businesses struggle today not because they aren't good at what they do, but because they don't have a professional online presence that reflects the quality of their work.
My goal is to help preserve and support those businesses by building websites that feel clean, easy to manage, and credible without making the process overly complicated or corporate.
Option One
For shops that just need to be findable online — a clean, professional one-page presence.
Includes
Option Two
For shops that want their site to actually generate inquiries and bring in business.
Everything in Storefront, plus
Available on either option.
Most clients don't need this — you'll own everything I build, and you can update it yourself or call me hourly when something changes. But if you'd rather have someone quietly handling it for you, here's the plan.
Up to 3 small updates/month · annual content refresh · domain renewal handled · 48-hr turnaround
Same coverage, billed once in January — one bill, done for the year
Small update = text changes, swapping a photo, updating hours/prices. Bigger changes (new section, design tweaks) are quoted separately at $75/hr. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice.
If you want any of these, I can refer you or quote separately.
