Hyperlocal Media's Downtown

Buffalo Rising was created by a talented group of web-savvy staff dedicated to building great websites. As we built Buffalo Rising, we realized there was no web publishing system available that did all the things we thought users wanted, so we built one. The system underlying buffalorising.com is called Downtown, and it blurs the line between blogs and more fully-featured online media experiences. Very simply, Downtown helps users do more things with content they find interesting and helpful: subscribe to it, bookmark it, talk with others about it, effect that conversation and find out more about the people they're talking to. Downtown's goal is to help local audiences do all these things, and based on the continued dynamic conversations on buffalorising.com, we're confident we've accomplished the goal.

Beyond publishing this site and our monthly magazine, the group behind Buffalo Rising creates websites for other companies. With in-house designers and programmers, we can help create a website for almost any kind of business. The group behind Buffalo Rising has worked on countless websites for all kinds of companies - from Fortune 500 companies to local retailers. We know the web and we know Buffalo. If you or your business need a new web identity, contact us. We'll be happy to talk with you about your needs and we'll craft a proposal that fits within your budget and timeline.
