Nice to meet you
Samuel Herrick.
Builder. Based in the Fredericksburg and King George area, Virginia.
The short version
How this started
I started building websites when my dad needed one for his towing company in Fredericksburg. I built it. Then his other business needed one too. I built that. Both turned out well, and I realized something: small business owners do not need a $20,000 agency to get a website that works. They need someone honest who shows them the work as it goes and does not hide behind jargon.
I am a one-person shop. No project manager standing between us. You reach me directly and I get back to you the same day. That keeps prices fair and timelines predictable.
That is what Herrick Automations is for.
I build websites the way a good carpenter builds furniture: real tools, real materials, real care, and a fair price.

What I value
How I work with people
Honesty over upsell
I will tell you what your site needs and what it does not. If a $250 fix solves your problem, that is what I recommend.
A real person answers
You are hiring me, not a ticket queue. You reach me directly and get a response the same day.
You approve every step
You see the wireframe, the working draft, and the styled site before launch. No big reveal at the end.
You own everything
The site, the design, the words. Paid for means yours, and any developer could take it over tomorrow.
